Nsw OBLKANS, LA.—A reporter of the Times Democrat who recently completed a tour of this and neighboring StatesVisiting every city, town and hamlet, states that he interviewed ail the wholesale and retail druggists and store keepers, as well as transportation companies, with'a view of learning the volume of trade in certain articles. The statistics, thus gathered show that during the past two years over one million two hundred thousand bottles of St Jacobs oil were sold in thii uctfon alone, and that this quantity largely exceeds the total combined sal ft of all other similar remedies during that period. He adds that dealer^ as well as the public, continue unanimous in their praise-of the wonderful pain-curing pow ers of this unapproached remedial agent Tbe XsAleal Use ef Xggm. For burns and sealds there is nothing 'more soothing than the white of an egg. It Is softer is a varnish for a burn than, collodion, and be ing always on hand can be. appllod immediate ly. It is also more cooling than the "sweet oil and cotton," which was formerly supposed to be the surest application to allay the smarting pain. It is the contact with the air which gives the extreme discomfort experienced from ordinary accidents of this kind, and anything which excludes air and prevents lnflamation, is the best thing to be at once applied. The egg is also considered one of the very best rem edies for dysentery. Beaten up lightly, with or without sugar,, qnd swallowed at a gulp, it tends, by its emollient qualities, to lessen the iDflamation of the stomach and intestines, and by forming a transient coating on these prgans, to enable nature to assume ber healthful sway in the diseased body.
