to a cure for bald-headed uosr : — “ A friend 
of mine who had the misfortune to be bald- 
lieuded, knowing that there is a wonderful 
invigorating power in the sun’s rays, last 
spring threw away his hat, and worked in 
the gulch all Spring, Summer and Fall, bare¬ 
headed, and also for the first few days at 
mid-day. For a, few days the rays of the 
hot sun on his head were almost unbearable; 
after that time he experienced no uneasi¬ 
ness whatever. The result was that in the 
Fall he had a good head of hair. And in this 
experiment he was not alone —several of 
his acquaintances who were bald-headed 
having followed the same plan, they were 
all fortunate enough to experience the same 
result.”

bone felon arrested-congelation. 
Db. James B. Walker, of 8t. Louis. Mo., 
says in the Medical Archives:—Not long 
since I was consulted by u young lady who 
was suffering from an incipient felon. The 
distinguishing characteristics of the painful 
affeotlon were already manifest—pain, 
throbbing, some tumefaction, and the ner¬ 
vous excitement, indicated plainly what 
was in ad vauce unless the inflammation was 
and the command was, arrest it 
arrested 
at all hazards. 
This starting point had been two days 
previous to her application of treatment. I 
could think of nothing offering such a pros¬ 
pect of success as cold, as low as the freez- 
♦ ing point. Adding equal parts of snow and 
salt in a tumbler, I placed the finger, it be¬ 
ing the middle one, in the freezing mixture. 
For a few seconds there was an increase of 
the sensibility of the part, and it was with 
difficulty I could persuade her to hold her 
linger in the mixture. By degrees the pain 
subsided, and at the end of two minutes 
perfect insensibility had followed. I re¬ 
moved the finger, and after a few minutes 
the sensibility returned, and wit h it came 
the pain, throbbing, etc. The application 
was renewed, and the pain ceased and in¬ 
sensibility ensued. This was repeated as 
often as the pain returned, and in about 
two hours, alternating the application and 
removal, there was no return of the painful 
sensations, and the difficulty entirely ceased, 
and there was no felon. The induration re¬ 
mained several days, and tho skin gradually 
exfoliated. 
Recipe to Prevent Felons Heading.— 
Take black pepper in the kernel and pul¬ 
verize well; then soak the pepper with spir¬ 
its of turpentine, and apply to the felon as 
a poultice. If this remedy is used when 
the felon first makes its appearance, it is a 
certain cure in a few applications. 1 have 
known felons that were almost headed 
cured by keeping this poultice on them, 
well bathed with turpentine. I would like 
to have you publish this recipe, for l am 
sure It would relievo some suffering person.

Remedy for Poison by ivy.—The best 
remedy for ivy poisoning is said to bo sweet 
spirits of nitre. Bathe the part s affected 
freely with this fluid three or four times a 
day, and tho next morning scarcely any 
traceof poison will be found. If the blisters 
be broken, so as to allow the uitro to pene¬ 
trate the cuticle, a single application will 
be sufficient. The spirits of nitre may be 
prepared by dissolving ouo part of nitrous 
ether in 8 parts ether of common alcohol.

Wearing (Freoil Kid Gloves.—An Kn- 
glish iuodical journal gives a warning 
against wearing green kid gloves, because 
physicians have found that the hands of 
those wearing gloves of this color soon be¬ 
came covered with an eruption difficult to 
cure, as the poison seems to enter t he sys¬ 
tem. These gloves were dyed with arsenic, 
though not all green kids are so dyed; yet 
it is regarded safer to wear some other color. 
them,” I Batd, (handing him wnat would 
fill his mouth), ‘‘swallowing the bitter 
juice; then lie down, and if they do not 
help you in half an hour, or you do not 
drop to sleep in that time, I will try anoth¬ 
er remedy.” 
The half hour elapsed, sleep did not 
come, and the pain was not eased; so I took 
about as much saltpeter as would make a 
lump as large as two peas, dissolved it in a 
little warm water, then added a little cold, 
so as nearly to fill a teacup; gave him a tea- 
spoonful of this once in ten minutes, till he 
had taken four teaspoonfuls; wet a clean 
white doth with some of the water and 
laid it on his head under a dry one. 
After takiug this he slept a few hours, 
and towards night was able to do his chores. 
Previous to retiring to bed that night he 
bathed his feet in warm water, to which 
had been added wood ashes sufficient to 
make it foci soft, soaking them well, loosen¬ 
ing all tho accumulations on them, rubbing 
and wiping them dry. With these simple 
remedies and attentions ho was a3 well as 
usual next day. Hattie Hopeful.

It is supposed 
to be a seedling of the Isabella, and we have 
no doubt of this from the character of the 
fruit aud leaves of the vine, as both show 
unmistakable marks of tho true native Lab- 
rusca species. No special care has been be¬ 
stowed upon this remarkable viue. Tho 
owner is a machinist, and makes no preten¬ 
sions to pomologioal knowledge; therefore, 
this viue has not been “doctored” in 
order to make the fruit ripen early. It has 
borne, we are informed, three years, and 
the fruit never fails to ripen tho first of 
August, which is a month earlier than the 
Hertford Prolific and Delaware, our two 
earliest sorts in this locality. Wo believe 
this new and promising grape has not yet 
been named, but is certainly deserving of 
dissemination. Bunch medium; berry

TEA DRUNKARDS 
Dr. Arlidge, oue of the pottery inspec¬ 
tors in Staffordshire, has put forth a very 
sensible protest, says tho Lancet , against a 
very peruioious custom which rarely re¬ 
ceives sufficient attention, either from the 
medical profession or the public. He says 
that the women of the working classes make 
tea a principal article of diet instead of an 
occasional beverage; they drink it several 
times a day, and the result is a lamentable 
amount of sickness. This is no doubt the 
case, and, ts Dr. Arlidge remarks, a portion 
of the reforming zeal which keeps up such a 
fierce and bitter agitation against intoxicat¬ 
ing driuke might advantageously be divert¬ 
ed to the repression of this very serious evil 
of tea tippling among the poorer classes. 
Tea, in anything beyond moderate quanti¬ 
ties, is as distinctly a narcotic poison as is 
opium or alcohol. It is capable of ruining 
the digestion, of enfeebling and disordering 
tho heart’s action, and of generally shatter¬ 
ing the nerves. And it must be remember¬ 
ed that, not merely is it a question of nar¬ 
cotic excess, but the enormous quantity of 
hot water which tea bibbers necessarily take 
is exceedingly prejudicial both to digestion 
aud nutrition.
