Swret Oh. as a Remedy fok Poison. —A plain.farmer writes: “It is now over twenty years since I heard that sweet-oil would cure the bite of it rattlesnake not, knowing that it would cure other kinds of poison. Practice and experience have taught me that it will cure poison of any kind, both on man and beast The patient must take a"spoonful ol it internally, and bathe the wound for a cure. To cure a horse it takes eight limes as much as for a man. One of the most extreme cases of snakebite occurred eleven years ago. It had been thirty days’ standing and the patient had been given up by his physician. I gave him a spoonful of the oil, ywhich effected a ' cure. It will cure bloat in cattle caused by ' fresh Clover. It will cure the stings of bees, I spiders or other insects, and persons who ‘ have been poisoned by a low, running vine called ivy.” - ’ ’ It you in lager find no bliss; 'and loathe cigars—no child to kiss—mi wife to love— no gal to hug—don’t seek- oblivion in the i jug, and if you haven’t any sister, just ask some chap to lend you his 2 to spark for a ’ little while—then “splice,” nnd all the rest will dome in nice. “I expect,’’ said a worthy Quaker, “to < pass through the world but once. It, there fore, there Ik* any kindness I can show, or anything I can do for my felloW-inen,- lid me do it now. Let me not' pass this . way again.” Smith, who ju4 recovered from a spell of illness and paid a doctor's bill, says he knows now what is meant by “physician heel thyself.” “Did my moustache trouble you?” said i he to h< r. “No,” she sighed, “I only felt a liylefidown in the mouth.” Grand Georgia.
