' The mode of proceeding is given by the JS'-tentifir American, as follows: " The walls nnd ceiling were pasted over with four or five thicknesses of old newspapers, a curtain of tho same mate rial piistcd over the small low windows at the top of the cellar. The papers were pasted to tho bare joists over head, leaving an uir space between them and the floor. Ue reports that the papers carried his roots through hist winter, though tho cellar was left unbauked, and he is con fident they have made the cellar frost proof. We do not counsel the special use of old newspapers for this purpose. It is just as well or better to use coarse brown paper. Whatever paper is cm ployed, it will be necessary to sweep down tho walls thoroughly, and use a very (strong size io hold he paper to tho stones. It is not necessary to press tho paper down into all the depressions of the wall; every air hmucc beneath it is an additonal defence against the cold." Wo liavc no doubt the process des cribed above will prove efficacious. Try it. It is inexpensive, and easily done. How to Make Neat:, Foot Oil. The hoofs are chopped oJf, and the oth er p 'ft ions are cracked and boiled thor oughly, From the surface of, this boiled mass pure neat's font oil is nkiuiuied, -which is unsurpassed by any other olea ginous uiatti r for harness, shoes, etc. After the oil is taken off the water is strained, to take from it any fatty parti- cies mat re-mam. una uiun it is noiieu again, until, upon trying, it is found to settle into a stjif jelly. It is then poured into flat bottomed dishes, and when cold, . cut into suitable sized pieces. It hard ens in a lew days, and then you will have a very fine article of ghie, free from im purities of any kind. Uy taking a por tion of this glutinous substance before it becomes too thick. and brushing it over .pieces of silk, you have -just as much court plaster as you desire, inodorous, te nacious, and entirely five from those poisonous qualities which cause (as much of the article sold by apothecaries does,) inflaaiation, when applied to scratches, outs, and sores. Medical Properties of Eps. The white of an egg has proved of late the most efficacious remedy for burns. Seven or eight successive applications of this substance soothes pain and effectu ally includes the burn from the uii. This ! simple remedy seems preferable to collo dium, or even cotton. Extraordinary sto ries are told of the healing properties of of a new oil which is easily made from the yolks of hens' eggs. The eggs are first boiled hard, and the yolks are then removed, crushed, and placed' over a liro, where they are carefully stirred until the whole substance is just on the point of catching fire, when the yolk will yield nearly two teaspoonfuls of oil. It is in general use among the colouists of South Russia as a means of curing cuts, bruises and scratches. Done I'clon. Of all painful things, can there be any to excrutiatingly painful as a bone felon 1 Wo know of none that flesh is heir to; and as this malady is quite frequent and the subject of much earnest consideration, we give the latent recipe for its cure, which is given by that high authority the London Loihrt : "As soon as tho dis ease is felt, put directly over the spot . a fly blister, about tho size of your thumb iinil and let it remain lor six hours, at the expiratiou of which time, directly under the surj'aco of the blister, may bo seen tho felon.' which can instautly be taken out with the poiut of a needle or a lancet." tiHT It is certainly a curious fact that the substances required to form common table milt, are both of them poisonous chlorino id Bodimii.' No .quo can use cither of these articles separately with safe ty. and yet. combine theui,nnd.they form a substance neeeuwiry to-"health, aud. found upon every table. CllAUXKS A.

Tho Anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tissues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the nriuo and convey it to the Exterior. T)M Exterior is a conductor also, terminating in single tube, and called the Ureter. The Ureter are connected with the bladder. The bladder is composed of various cover ings or tissues, divided Into parts, viz. i th Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, aud the Mucous. The upper expels, the lower retains. Many have a desire to urinate without the abllityi others urinate, without tho ability to retain. This frequently occurs in children. To cure these affections, wo must bring inU action the muscles, which are engaged In their varlouB functions. If they are neglected, Gravel or Dropsy niuj ensue. The render must also be made aware, that however slight may be tlie attack, it is sure to affect tho bodily health and mental powers, at our Hesh and blood arc supported from these sources. Goi t, oh Rheumatism. Pain occurring In the loins are indicative of tlie above diseases. They occur iu persons disposed to acid stomach and chalkv concretions. Deaii 8ir I have been a sufferer, for upward of twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kid ney uU'cclions, during which time I have used various medicinal preparations, und been under tlie treatment of the most eminent Physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively advertised, 1 consulted with my family physi cian In regard to using your Extract Buchu. I did this because 1 had used all kinds of ad vertised remedies, and had found them worth less, und, some quite Injurious ; In fact, I de spaired of ever getting well, and determined t use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of th ingredients. It was this that prompted mo to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs, und juniper berries, it occurred to me mid my physician as an excellent combiiiution, and, with his advice, after un cxamim tion of tlie article, and con sulting again with the druggist, I concluded to try it. I commenced its use about eight mouths ago, at which time I was contincd to my room. From the first bettle I was astonished and grat ified ut the bcncticial effect, und uitcr using it three weeks, win able to walk out. I felt much liko writing yon a full statement of my caso at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporarj, and therefore concluded to defer und see if it would cllcct a perfect cure, knowing then it would be of more value to you, and more satisfactory to me. I am now able to report that a cure is effect ed after using the remedy for live months. I havo not used any now for three months, aud feel us well lu all respects as I ever did. Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a uico tonic aud invlgorator of tho system, I do not mean to bo without it whenever occasion may require its use iu such affections. m. Mccormick; Should any doubt Mr. McCormick's state ment, ho refers to the following gentlemen : The Guavel, Tho gravel ensues from neg lect or improper treatment of the kidneys. These organs being weak, the water is uot ex pelled from the bladder, but allowed to remain it becomes feverish, and sediment forms. It is from tliis deposit that the stone is formed and gravel ensues. DitOPSY is a collection of water iu some parts of the body, and bears dill'ercut names, accord lug to the parts affected, viz. : when general ly diffused over the body, it is called Anasarca when of the abdomen, Ascites ; when of the idlest, Hydrothorax. Theatment. Helinbold's highly conceutra cd, compound Extract Buchu is decidedly one of ihe best remedies for diseases of tho blad der, kidneys, bladder, dropsical swellings, rheumatism and gouty aflections. Under this hend we havo urranged Dysurla, or difficulty and puln in passing wuter, Scanty Secretion, or small and frequent discharges of water ; Stran gury, or stopping of water ; Hematuria, or bloody urine ; Gout and Rheumatism of the kidneys, without any change in quantity, bu Increase In color, or dark water. It was al ways highly recommend by tho late Dr. Phys ick, in these affections. This medicine increases tho power of diges tion, end excites tho absorbents into healthy exercise by which tho wutery or calcareous de positions, and all unnatural enlargements, as well as pain aud inllamutiou, are reduced, and it is taken by men, women, and children.
