Sugar as a Remedy for Wounds.

The inclosed is excellent, anil ought to lie published once a year. I found it ll a ]«aper .sometime ago, and have tried it-and oaa recommend it from experience: Take a pan or shovel with burning coals, ami sprinkle upon them common brown sugar, and hold the wounded |iart iv tin: smoke. In a few minutes the pain will lie allayed, and recovery proceeds rapidly. In my case, a rusty nail had made a bad wound in the bottom of my foot. The pain and nervous irritation was severe. This was all removed by holding it in the stnoko for fifteen minutes, and I was able to resume my reading iv comfort. We have often recommended it to others with likeeresults. ijst week ono of my men had a tingei nail torn out by a pair of icetongs. It became \ cry painful, as was to have been Expected. Held in sugar-smoke for twenty minutes, the pain ceased aud promised speedy recovery.-- Kural Mm* Yurhi:
