An exchange gives the following which may be of use to our readers:— Every little while we read in the papers of some one who has stuck a rusty nail in his hand, knee, or foot; or some other part of the body, and lockjaw resulted therefrom, of which the patient died. If the patient was aware of the remedy for all such wounds, and applied it, all such reports would cease. The remedy is simple, always on hand, can be ap- plied by anyone, and what is better, it is infallible. It is to smoke the wound that is inflamed with burning woollen cloth. Twenty minutes of the smoke of wool will take the burn out of the worst case of inflammation arising from a wound. People may sneer at the rem- edy as much as they please, but when they are afflicted just let tbem try it. It has saved many lives and much pain,, and it is worthy of being printed in let- ters of gold and put in every home.
