originally furnished BY Mr.. L. Larkin.
member ofthe Royal College of Surgeons,
who vouches for it as medicine that
will effect revolution in the healing art
as regards the prevention and cure NOT
only of the small pox, but also of measles
and scarlet fever, however malignant the
type.
On the first appearance of fever and ir-
rltation on ushering in attacks, the sub
joined mode Of treatment should at once
entered upon: Take one grain each of
powdered foxglove or digitalis, valuable
in the ration Of its greenness-the dark
should be rejected) and one of sulphat of
zinc, this article is commonly known as
white nitrol.) These should be rubbed
thoroughly in mortar or other conven-
lent vessel, with four or five drops of wa
ter; this done, noggin, or about four
ounces more, with some syrup or sugar
should be added. Of this mixture a Ia.
blespoonful should be given to an adult,
and two tea-spoonsful to a child, every
second hour until the symptoms of dis
case vanish.
Thus conducted, convalesence, as if by
magic, will result. The action of the
medicine is thus explained: The herb,
by Its febrile qualities, lays hold of the
fever which it Immediately strangles,
while the zinc acts as tonic, instantly
restoring equilibrium.

whatever, as totally unnecessary. if not
pernicious.
