CURE OF CANCER BY RED CLOVER. 
The Cincinnati Gazette says:—Some 
remarkable cures effected by the use of a 
decoction of the common red clover drank as

of the plant. This, however, cannot he said 
to he a new remedy; it has been employed 
for some years past., and there arc some ap¬

Wlint Cured Me of Dyspepain, 
I notice in Rural New-Yorker of 
June 24th, an inquiry for one of the many 
infallible remedies for dyspepsia, and for 
some one to give experience. In January, 
1870,1 was taken sick. One of the doctors 
who visited me said 1 had dyspepsia in its 
worst form, aud that I could never get well. 
Before 1 was able to sit lip much, our family 
physician furnished pills that are not cathar¬ 
tic, to be taken regularly, and elixir Pcru-

To ExUsi'iuiuute Bedbugs. 
I send you my mode of destroying bed¬ 
bugs, which, as it has not failed with us for 
a number of years in succession, 1 consider 
also very agreeable. In a small teapot a 
strong infusion, nearly essence of tea, is 
made; a small quantity of this i.s poured into 
tumblers, and each guest adds water and 
sugar ad libitum. Whether it. is that the tea 
in Russia is much heller than we get in 
England, or thill, the method of drinking it 
is better than mus, 1 know not; J can only 
say that I never Listed its equal before, and 
never hardly for years imbibed so much as 
1 did dining my short slay at Kalgan. The 
Russians say that the tea which makes only 
a laud voyage is much superior to that which 
passes over the sea, and 1 am inclined to 
their opinion; also that their method of 
making it for drinking is the right one.
