i
questionably a genuine one, It was

; was killed in the mountains, and is
»fa very peculiar formation, being
| egg shaped. It is composed of po
' rous layers. Some time ago the out
! side layer was broken, and it fell off
like the shell of a buckeye.j The
st me has been applied to hundreds
of bites, and good results have al
ways followed. After it drops from
a wound, it is boiled in milk, and the
! milk becomes green. Bulter has re
fused an offer of SSOO for it. This
j stone is beginning to attract the at

j men. It is claimed that jit will cure
