Mr. Wrigbt it seemü hnd been troubled wuh a congh, for 6ome time, and concluded to give this simple remedy a trial. His descripüon of the process, in a recent letter, is anything but invifing. - Lucküy, Mr. W. is a stout, able bodied mnn, full of blood and animal spirits, else we are inclined to think five weeks of such treaiment would have given him a perpetual home by the baths of Graefenburg.
