what the Era says:

the sort of popular sovereignty taught by Doug.

The editor of the Jelfersonian says he has an
anonymous communication, giving prescription to
prevent the soitenng of the BRAIN and the decay of
animal matter; and says that Gum Asphaltum and
that the author must have been drunk when he
wrote the article upon the subject, and that his
mind must be too far gone to be acted upon by the
composition he recommends. Now must not
blame, put pity, ignorance. We will inform the
gentleman that it has lately been discovered that
Plaster of Paris, mixed with small portion of
coal tar becomes powerful disnectant the effect
is instantaneous. A small portion will check infa-
nation and modification - animal matter aud n
piece, not bigger than a pins head, will render fit
for use pint and half of water that is beginning
to grow putrescent. Now Gum Asphatum posses
SEES the same properties that coal tar does and if
combined with Plaster of Paris, why would ii not
answer the purpose OF coal tar? We are sorry our
friend did not try the prescription; for if it checks
