The best remedy for neuralgia, says a correspondent, is a piece of sea s.alt, the size of a pea, to be slowly dissolved in the mouth and then swallowed. It is better, while dissolving the salt, to keep the saliva in the mouth for a minute or two before swailowing it. Rock salt may do as well but he had only tried the sea salt, which may be got at the chemists. The sea salt, so marked, cured eight out of ten attacks of neuralgia,* the pain being relieved in two or three minutes. He says he formerly used lotions and medi* cines for easing the agony, but since he has adopted the salt he has scarcely any pain. It also cures the toothache in some cases, and the cost of it is within reach of almost all. Sea water would produce the same effect. Further novelties have been added to the stock of electro* plated ware in the show case. These include some beautiful designs in butter, sugar, and^ biscuit jars, cruets, toast-racks, jelly jars, in fact the stock must be seen to be pro perly appreciated.— Red House, Kimbolton Road. — Advt.
