CURE FOR SCANDAL.
An inhabitant of Cambridge sends us the following Cure for Scandal," and states that as that Borough is only just recovering from a bad attack, it is probable that the malady may have spread to the neighbouring townships, and the antidote prove of use. The receipt is as follows : —''Take of " Good Nature," an ounce; of an herb, usually called by the Indians, "Mind your own business," one ounce • mix them with a little "Charity for others' feelings" and two or three sprigs of "Keep your tongue between your teeth." Simmer them together in a vessel called " Circumspection" for a short time, and it will be fit for use. Application The symptoms are a violent itching in the tongue and roof of the mouth, which invariably takes place when you are with a kind of animals called " Gossips." When you feel a turn of it coming on, take a teaspoonful of the above ; hold it in your mouth —which you will keep shut until yon get hon'.e—and you will find it a complete cure. Should you apprehend a relapse, keep a phialful about you, and on feeling the slightest symptoms repeat the dose,"
