A Horse Cured of Lockjaw.

Dr. A. J. Hopkins, the well kuowh veterinary surgeon, has recently effected a wonderful cure of a valuable horse afflicted wit 1 tetanus, or lockjaw. The horse belonged to the Connecticut river lumber company, and ran a rusty nail into one of his feet, causing the above named disease to ensue. The animal is now perfectly well, and may be seen at work any day. The company, appreciating the service of Dr. Hopkins, have given him an affidavit expressive of the strong satisfaction which its officers feel at the result of his skill. The Dr. makes no secret of his cure for lockjaw, which is hybrocyanic or Prussic acid, administered in minute doses. This is the fourth case of the kind he has cured in this State. —[Hartford Times.

Carivle: We are firm believers in the maxim that, for all right judgment of any man or thing, it is useful, nay, essential, to see his good qualities before pronouncing on his had.
