Ma. Editor:—Noticing in your paper
some account of mad dogs in your vicinity,
1 thought 1 would speak of the ncud stone
in our neighborhood, not knowing wheth
er you have heard of it or not. The stone
is owned by Mr. Ellis, fixing near Boice
Prairie. It is a sure cure in case of a bite
from rabid animals. 1 have known it tes
ted in quite a number of eases two of
which were bitten by a dog that bit tout
cows in my presence till of which died from
the effects us madness, while the poisons
received no injury after applying the ,
-tone, I ours, 0. Vv . OELLEUK,
Uttr faith in the mad stone is yet to be
i«ui-tk‘d, though »\e are not of that class
of men who require unreasonable testimony.
There nitiv be someihittg in this mad
stone or a powerful chemical naiu.x, pos
sessing extraordinary affinity for this par
ticular poison—drawing it out with a force
e .pial to mechanical power. Of course we
di car i the vitiates based upon supersti
tion.
How the Eieh are made Eicher —the Poor,
Poorer.
