Poisoning by Ivy or Sumac.

The effects resulting from coming in contact with poison ivy or sumac ar - quite common among people living on farms or in the country, and are too well known to need any special description. Suffice it to say, however, that many people are quite susceptible to the poisonous actions of these f>lants and become affected very easiy, and in a manner almost unknown to them, while others can handle it without its producing any lesion. The action of the poison first becomes manifest, or is characterized by an eruption upon the skin, swelling, and an intense itching of the part, and in very severe cases pain with redness a> d congestion. Treatment must be moist and astringent applications, as sulphate of zinc or sugar of lead twenty grains and one pint of water mixed and applied occasionally with a soft cloth; or diluted alcohol, spts. of camphor and aqua ammonia largely diluted with water. Each has been tried with good success, but in my hands where all the above have failed, a decoction made by boiling the leaves or buds of the Spanish needle or nettle (a weed which is indigenous to all northern states) with water and applying it occasionally has proved very successful, and a decoction of witch hazel made and applied in the same manner is highly recommended by many. Should the blood become vitiated and sores or ulcers result, alteratives to improve its condition are indicated; generally, however, this affection subsides in a few [need where the above treatment already been resorted to.—Medical Journal.

The Artless Prattle of a Babe.

One of those unnaturally bright children who are always getting people into difficulties was £t a prayer meeting the other evening with his mother, when he asked aloud: “Ma, say ma-who was Dinah Moore?” “Hu-u-sh,” whimpered his mother cautiously, “it’s a hymn.” “No, it ain’t, ma,” continued the hopeful, “it’s a woman’s name; say who’s going home to Dinah Moore?” “Willie,” said his mother in a ghastly voice, “you,re disturbing the meeting. It means going to heaven to die no more.” “Dine no more! O, ma, don’t they eat anything there?” His mother explained as well as she could, and Willie sat still for half a minute, bis bright eyes roving about the church. Then he asked in a shrill whisper: “Ma, is God out of town?” “No-o-o, no-no,” answered the distracted woman, faintly. -Then what’s Mr. Kelly running this meeting for, ma?” continued the sweet child. The choir sung him down, but as the meeting closed with a moment of B{lent prayer, his gentle voice was distinctly heard. - -♦ ♦ Mason Boynton, a Louisiana planter, not liking the way in which one old ”egro woman was working, went out into his field to whip her. She defended herself with her hoe, and he went back to the house and got bis brother to come and help Kim whip the old woman. Then the woman’s husband, Sam Simms, came to her defense, and Boynton stabbed him in the breast with a knife. Then Boynton mounted his horse, rode to town, and made affidavit against Simms for an assault with intent to kill.

Ringworm.

Cause:—Supposed to be a fungoid growth and is induced, generally, by exposure or coming in contact with irritants or poisonous plants or weeds. Rhigworm on the body commences as a little circular, pale, elevated spot the size of a split pea or larger, which is covered with fine scales and is accompanied by itching. As the spot increases the center clears and the patch now becomes a ring, which may extend till it has attained a diameter of three or four inches or more; it may occur on any part of the body, but is more common in those parts which are most freely exposed, as the face, neck and hands. Treatment:—We must first clean the patch by washing with soap and water, and then apply, two or four times a day, glycerine two ounces, carbolic acid, pure, one-half dram. Mix; apply lightly with a feather or piece of sponge. If the patch becomes inflamed, apply poultices of bread and milk, or meal, moist and warm, and soothing applications, as hop or stramonium fomentations. Mr. Samuel A. Denton, of Lebanon, 0., writes: “My wife has for years been a great sufferer from female diseases. Her health was very poor, and her blood full of impurities. She complained of pains about the loins and back; and would sometimes keep her bed for days. I gave her Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, which helped her greatly from the start, and now I never saw her skin so fair, her lips so red, or her cheeks so rosy. She attends to her housework herself now, afld I never hear her complain.”

A Case of Melanosis.

The case of 8. H. Robison, jr., of this place, is exciting a good deal of interest among the medical fraternity, both here and abroad. He is affected with what is called melanosis, and has been turning black since the lUh of April, and is now the color of a full blooded negro. Mr. Robison was first affected by an impaired eyesight, and went to Cincinnati in March to be treated for them, when Dr. W. H. Falls pronounced his disease melanosis, which opinion was confirmed by other physicians of our city. Your correspondent here has known Mr. R. all his life, and can vouch that he was formerly of a light complexion and is now blacker than any negro in our town. He is twenty-eight years old, the .son of the late R. L. Robison, a well-known carpenter of this place, and followed the same occupation until compelled to desist from labor by his disease. He is gradually growing weaker, and physicians say he is liable to die at any moment, and cannot live but a short time at the best. —Cincinnati Gazette.
