LIBERAL PREMIUMS TO CLUB AGENTS! 
EOSIN IN NEW MEXICO. 
You will sec that New York is too far off 
from us to ever amount to much, notwith¬ 
standing we buy nearly everything we eat. 
drink, and wear from the Eastern cities, and 
principally from your burgh ; and, with the 
trifling exception of a little, wool, sheep 
skins, dry hides, and red pepper, wo sell 
nothing, we manufacture nothing, wo open 
and work no mines, farm but little, graze but 
little, work but, little, and steal all that is out 
of sight . Our populat ion is composed mainly 
of the most ignorant, degraded, and worth 
less set of people, both Americans and Mex 
icans, with a few exceptions of both races, 
to be found on the face of the whole globe. 
The result is, we are the poorest, people in 
the world, living from hand to mouth, 
lounging on the sunny side of the house 
waiting for something to turn up, with im¬ 
mense fields of minerals—gold, silver, copper, 
etc —lying idlo and unworked for the want 
of industry and enterprise : vast extents of 
the finest grazing lands in tho world, capable 
of supporting millions of horses years and 
years, Winter and Summer, almost entirely 
unoccupied : water power without limit; the 
best of farming lands in great abundance ; 
and yet we are comparatively unknown, ex-

MEDICAL PROPERTIES OF THE TOMATO. 
There may, perhaps, he some foundation 
for an assertion which lias been lately several 
t unes related, that, the Tomato Is an efilcient 
“ deobstruent,whatever that may be, and 
will be a useful substitute for calomel by rea¬ 
son of its gentle action on the liver. It is 
said to be a useful and harmless remedial 
agent in biliary obstruction, and is described 
ms “almost a sovereign remedy for dyspepsia 
and indigestion”—obviously an exaggeration, 
perhaps a misstatement. It has been tested 
in cases of cough, and succeeded ; so have 
many thousand remedies. There is little or 
no positive evidence, in its favor ; but enough 
of positive assert ion and probable virtue to 
make it worth the attention of experimental 
pharmacologist s, It may he used not only as 
an article of materia mcdica, but bas the ad¬ 
vantage of being an agreeable item in the 
materia nlimentaHa. — Lancet.

EDUCATION AS A MEANS OF HEALTH. 
In a remarkable paper ou “ The influence 
of Inheritance upon tho Curability of Nervous 
Diseases,” which appears in tho Practitioner 
for October, Dr. Francis F. Anstie, the edi 
tor, urges a proper education on the greatest 
prophylactic which he sees any reason to 
hop© for, in dealing with and uprooting he¬ 
reditary neurotic diseases. The main direc¬ 
tions which this education should take are 
thus summed by him: 
1. The supply of a nufcrilition for young 
children practically unlimited except, by tho 
powers of digestion and assimilation, and the 
adoption of every plun (and especially gradu¬ 
ated, but not excessively fatigueing, gymnos 
tics) which may tend to increase both appe¬ 
tite and digestion. 
2. Tho careful avoidance of mental and 
spiritual training, which would tend to gen¬ 
erate self-consciousness and the habit of un¬ 
real emotion. 
3. The strict, insistaneo upon a largo allow¬ 
ance of sleep for children who are approach¬ 
ing the epoch of puberty. 
•1. Watchfulness of tho most unremitting 
kind against the possible formation of bad 
habits, in conversation or act . with regard to 
sexual matters.

By the way, I have launched out into tho 
manufacture of soap, rosin, and turpentine, 
without any knowledge of either ; succeeded 
in making soap by getting out it soap boiler 
from tho States to do it for me ; have 40,000 
trees tapped (after I found 1 couldn’t roast it 
out of pine knots) for the purpose of making 
rosin. Tried to make turpentine by using an 
old banged-up copper distil kettle with no 
cap (1 stopped up tho mouth with a wooden 
stopper, and only succeeded in getting about 
25 per cent, pure turpentine). Wil I you please 
ask some of your Southern subscribers, en¬ 
gaged in the business, to tell me through the 
Rural Nbw Yorker, or by letter, how tho 
tiling is done ? May be somebody else would 
liko to engage in the business, and then there 
would be two of us accommodated. There 
are probably as many as seven copies of your 
paper taken in this Territory, which, you 
know, would entitle us to some considera¬ 
tion! 
The friend who is going to give the infor¬ 
mation wanted will know about what I need 
when I tell him that I first tried to make 
rosin by boiling down tar; then by roasting 
it out of pine knots in a furnace; then by 
tapping trees and using tho crude turpentine 
instead of rosin; but I. found after a while 
that thero was turpentine in the stuff. The 
coming year 1 want to do a little sometiiing 
in that line. I want to know what kind of 
kettles arc used, and how to make the stuff 
stay in a barrel when you get it; also what 
makes the different qualities of rosin, and 
how it is that wo don’t get No. 1, pale, or 
virgin dip every time. But he’ll know what 
I want to know. 
Hoping that I have not annoyed you and 
lost an hour and a half when I might have 
been asleep and probably have dreamed all 
about the tiling, I beg leave to remain, as 
ever, yours truly, J. b. c.

VACCINATION AND REVACCINATION. 
Tub following statistics aro probably the 
most reliable and instructive of any of the 
kind ever published, and aro well worth lieed- 
offlcial report made on the 
ing. From 
subject, It appears that in the. army of Bava¬ 
ria revaccination has been compulsory since 
1343; and from tliat date until 1857—a period 
of 11 years, not a single case of unmodified 
small-pox occurred, nor a single death from 
the disease. Of the nearly 50,000 revaccina¬ 
tions in the Prussian army, only about one- 
third were perfectly successful—resembling, 
t hat is, tho result of a primary vaccination 
st> closely as scarcely to be distinguished from 
it; and tltc remaining two-thirds being more 
or less modified, or failing entirely. In con¬ 
nection with these facts, the statement is al- 
s > made that the distinguished English vac¬ 
cinators—Dr. Marsou, iu -10,000 vaccinations; 
Dr. Sveeso, in as many more; Sir YVm. Jen- 
nor, in the cases of 13,000 sick children and 
adults in London; und Dr, West of the Chil¬ 
dren’s Hospital, as to 20,000 eluldren—all con¬ 
cur by saying that they have never seen any 
other disease t han tliat. of vaccination com¬ 
municating with the vaccine.

PREPARING COD LIVE8 OIL FOR PATIENTS. 
The difficulty of overcoming the nauseating 
qualities of cod liver oil has attracted the at¬ 
tention of many pharmaceutists, among oth¬ 
ers of M. Tissier, who has lately* published the 
results of his experiments. He takes of white 
gelatin 4 parts, 25 parts of distilled water, the 
same of simple sirup, and 50 parts of refined 
powdered sugar. The gelatin is heated in a 
water bath, with the water and sirup, till 
dissolved, the cod liver oil and sugar being 
mixed in a mortar; the two compounds are 
then stirred together, and the stirring con¬ 
tinued till the mixture, is cold. It will then 
appear as a gelatinous mass, and powdered 
sugar is then added till a firm paste is made, 
which, after being out into small pieces, is 
left to become so hard as to be easily granu¬ 
lated in a mortar. The second addition of 
powdered sugar will bring the quantity up to 
250 parts, of which 20 per cent, will bo cod 
liver oil. It is to be kept in a tightly stop¬ 
pered bottle. 
AN UNKNOWN PLANET ACTUALLY SEEN. 
John H. Tice, St. Louis, Mo,, writes the 
Scientific American, that in tho latter half 
of September, 18651, he saw a planet pass over 
the disc of the sun. Ho first saw it about 
nin e o’clock, his attention being called to it 
by some boys who were looking at the sun 
through a smoked glass. It was then on the 
eastern limit, of the sun, and its apparent 
diameter was about 2)/ inches. It took 
about two hours for it to pass over the sun.
