A CHAPTER ON BOILS.
INFALLIBLE CURES FOR THE ENEMY OF
MANKIND.
From the Oneida Circular.
"I've had a boil, got it j'ct in fact a re
gular, old fashioned eighteen carat ubile?"
Well, while I've had it I have kept, a clean
record of all the boil-cnres that have been
urged upon uie, and the publication thereof
I hope will result in the early cure of all
boils in this part of the universe.
My boil came the first part of the month
on my hip, and the first man who saw me
limp said :
'"Holloa ! corns hurt you?''
I said, "No, I've got a boil."
"Don't say ? Well now, see here ; you
go right home and get some of Dalley's
ointment, and buy five cents' worth of lint
and put it on j'our boil and it will be well
in twenty-four hours."
I thanked him, got on a horse-car, and
met another friend who urged me by all
means to make a brcad-and-inrlk poultice
and lie perfectly (juite till it should come
to a head, for sa's he :
"Roils arc sore things, and they don't
like to be jammed around much."
I thought so too, but before I had time
to say so another friend "reached over and
touching me with his cane said :
"Did I hear you remark that you were
suffering with a boil?"
"Yes, sir, suffering is the world."
"Well, now, sec here, John," says he,
"all you've got to do is just to live it down.
Live well, cat plenty of beefsteak, mutton
chops, eggs, and omelets, and then if you
will drink a glass of hot water before break
fast not warm water, you know, but jest
as you can stand it ou will drive all the
impurities out of your blood instanter."
Reaching m- place of business I found
three more boil-curcrs awaiting me. The
first said :
"Now you just give me a quarter and
11 slip out to a drug store and get a box
of mercurial ointment, and it'll ease you in
ess than three minutes, lou see it drives
the matter back, in the blood, and the
blamed thing has to heal up in spite of it-
elf."
But while I was taking out the quarter

My boy was standing, hat in hand, wait

Central l'ark and JJarnum s Museum, and
keeps ten men all the time boiling out

est boils to a head before the owners know

for all the bulls' galls that came to Wash

too serious a matter to lokc about, and it s
not your kind." I was about to adminis

off a chill as to free himself from boil-doc

friend who, after sympathizing with me,
informed 111c that it 1 would just mix a
teaspoon ful of "Injun" meal in a little wa
ter and drink it three times a week it would
eradicate all the etlluvia from the blood,
and make me feci like a morning star
On reaching home I found a Spiiitualis
tic acquaintance, who has a mission, waitim
for me. I mentioned to him that I had a
boil. Said he :
"Why, I've had hundreds of them and
can cure them every time ; all you have to
do is to wait till they come to a head, and
then (it requires nerve to do, though,) just
take a razor or lancet and lay it open to the

roots !
I suggested veins and arteries, and he
saw at once that I hadn't any nerve. I had
no money for his mission, but on offering
him two dollars to help start a ghost-tae-tory
here in New York that should beat
tLc Eddy brothers he took up l.fo hat and
left me and my boil to the next tormentcr,

The next was a Turkish-bath man, who
assured me that he had had a ver' bilious
turn a year ago and had sweat them out of
himself by taking six baths.
"You see," he bad, "a boil must be kept
moist and warm, and that being a known
fact, why the Turkish bath is an interven
tion of Providence for all Jub-ites the world
over."
I promised to at once call on my friend
Dr. Miller in Twenty-six street, and let him
put me through a "course of sproutes." I
was deferred from so doing by a friend in
the ice business, who told me that one of
his neighbors had tried the baths, and in
stead of curing him the boils came out all
over him worse than ever. "And now,"
said he, "if vou will come down to our ice
house and just walk leisurely around in it,
keeping your blood cool for a few days,
you will Hud that all this superabundance
of heat in your blood, which is evinced by
the boil now on your hip, will gradually
pass away, your boil will go down and you
won't have another till you get red hot
again."
This looked as reasonable as the bath
cure certainly, and I promised to be on
hand bright and early next morning and
try to freeze- out my boil. Just as I was
starting out in the nionyng hadn't limped
two yards from my house when I war,
hailed by a friend, who, when iu formed of
my ailment and intentions, suddenly wheel
ed me about in the direction of my house,
saying:
"Ice be blamed ! I'll cure you." Going
right into our diuning-room he asked for
brown sugar and brown soap ; then helping
me to hobble up stairs, he made a poultice
of the soap and sugar, and insisted on my
wearing it on my boil all day.
I promised to do so faithfully, but after
he left me and it began to ache pretty hard
I could not help mentioning my feelings in
the old-fashionek way, and the noise I made
being heard by a lady caller on my wife,
he at once said that she could relieve me
and cure me at tnc same time, ocuuing
out for a raw onion, she said all I had to do
was to slice it up and lay it on my boil, and
lts cooling properties would relieve the pain,
while its Well-kllOWU healing powers Would

reasonable and worth trying, and we tried
it.
Before its "cooling properties" had got
fully under way, I happened to remember
an important
business engagement which
must be attended to, ana so 1 snoot on my

I now determined to make an inventory

and put on one big plaster which would
rely cure it at once. But when I came
to mix cold water and hot water, ice and

I ho traces is micst ion arc numerous
standing upright, with the pestle in it, ap
parently uist as it had been lelt by its
1 1 .1 1
owner. In some cases the mortars have
found at the depth of forty feet from the
surface of the gaivel underlving Tall.i
Mountain. The distribution of the mortars
is such as to indicate with great posit ive-
ness the former existence ot a human settle
ment on that ancient beach when the water
stood near the level at which they occur ;
a time anterior to the volcanic outpouring
which Table .Mountain records, and anterior
to the glacial epoch.
The recent geol.vgical history of that
region may be briefly summed as follows
Previous to the placing the mortars iu the
position in which they have been found, the
1 1 . . -l 1 1. . 1 .. .
early and middle teiiiory sea icvci nan re
ceded to the position of the coal beds tin
derlying Table Mountain, fully one thou
sand feet below the level of Cherokee
Subsequently, in thc pliocene period, there
was a further subsidence of about fifteen
hundred feet, somcting like six hundred
feet ocurring after the mortars had been
aSandoiwd. All this, as has been noticed,
.....ii.; rr A ,1 , , .,
I I 171 I 1 III I II If lll.'oi.llll T l IIIIII4.1I llllllltl I
took place before the volcanic outflows
which covered tfp all the ancient detritus
of the region, including that of the ancient
rivers (whoso gravels have, furnished so
much of the gold of California.) The
geological age of the river period was
determined by Lesjuercux from specimens
of vegetation, now extinct, collctcd in tin
survey of the ancient rivers; specimens
indicating affairs of the pliocene .nge. re
taining some characteristic miocenc forms.
After the volcanic period the land r'fc'
again, the time and emergence embracing
the glacial period and the new eroding
period in the sierra, morphia greenstones,
and the granites were slashed with canons'
three thousand feet deep by the action of
ice and running water. Taking the rotes
of continental movement determined by
Lj'ell, our geologist calculates that the tiun;
re.'juired for the changes thus outlined could
not have been less than eighteen hundred
centuries. For a period so long precediug
the glacial epoch as the time when ancient
Ceerokee was buried by the waters of the
advancing sea, his estimate is certainly not
extravagant, though it dose transcend so
enormously the time men have been ac
customed to allow for man's residence oxi
earth.
