Go to bed, have pliRr of clothes placed over you to induce perspiration, and have this poultice placed, about a quarter of an inch thick, close to the hollow of your feet (no cloth between feet and poultice), keep it on for ten or fifteen hours, then take off the poultice, and the curéis complete." Get one onnce of iodide of pot ïsaia, put it in a cjuart bottle of soft water, and take for a dose twothirdsof a common-sized stem wineglass three times a day, half an hour before meals. Avoid strong drink and groes diet. Should the glands of your neck get sore, you must reduce the dose. Yon must take regular rest, and take four bottles of the medicine before you stop, and then quit it for two week?. Then take two bottles more, which will in all probability complete the cure. You must keep your bowels open. I would adviso all rheumatics to try the poultice first, and, if it fails to effect a cure, then to try the recipo which cured Mr. Boswell, of Louisville, Ky., a gentleman well known and hiehlv resDected
