that the child has 12 lingers and

Itecauso there is no malformation

perfectly formed and well de

larger thin in newly-born ehil-
dreri, but they do uot appear so !
on account of the remarkable pro-,
portion between all tho fingers I

is born with extra digits the odd j

if tho sixth finger or toe were re-

Something Worlh Knowing.
Medical men advise that salt be
takeu with nuts especially when
eaten atnight. "One time," says
a writer, "whilst enjoying a visit
from an Englishman, hickory
nuts were served in the evening,
when my English friend asked
for salt, stating that he knew of
the case of a woman eating heart
ily of nuts iu the evening, who
was taken violently ill. The cele
brated Dr. Abernethy was sent
for, but it was after he became
rather too tond of his cups. He
muttered 'Salt, salt,' of which no
notice was taken. Next morning
he went to the place and she was
a corpse. Ho said that had they
given her salt it would, have re
lieved her. If they would allow
him o make an examination, he
would convince them. On open
ing the stomach the nuts were
found in a mass. He sprinkled
salt over this and immediately it
dissolved. I have known of a
sudden death myself whieh ap-1
pcared to be from the same cause.
