ONION

—is an article which would not have found its way here, but in consequence of its great utility upon a certain emergency, which entitles its property to be more universally known. No trifling occurrence can po ibly occasion more temporary mortification to a SPORTSMAN , than to see his horse labouring under the STRANGURY (or suppre ion of urine) after the long stage of a journey, or the severity of a chase. In such cases, the first FARRIER is generally called in, who proceeding upon the " KILL or CURE " system of former times, prepares a potion of the most powerful urinary stimulants, plentifully besprinkled with SPIRITS of TURPENTINE , oil of juniper, and other equally mild and efficacious ingredients, frequently laying the foundation of inflammation; when an onion being peeled, and a small clove or two of the inside properly insinuated within the SHEATH , may nineteen times out of twenty be expected to produce the desired effect, without the interposition of any medicine whatever.
