rsue his journey the next day, by giving a _tablespoon
of alum_. This was got from Dr. P. Thornton, of Montpelier, Rappahannock
county, Virginia, as founded on his own observation in several cases."

"The constant demand for Mason's and Hinds's Farrier has induced the
publishers, Messrs. Lippincott, Grambo & Co., to put forth new editions,
with a 'Supplement' of 100 pages by J.S. Skinner, Esq. We should have
sought to render an acceptable service to our agricultural readers, by
giving a chapter from the Supplement, 'On the Relations between Man and the
Domestic Animals, especially the Horse, and the Obligations they impose;'
or the one on 'The Form of Animals;' but that either one of them would
overrun the space here allotted to such subjects."

"Lists of Medicines, and other articles which ought to be at hand about
every training and livery stable, and every Farmer's and Breeder's
establishment, will be found in these valuable works."
