SALr FOR qnE THaoAT.--In these days when
dlseasts of the throat are 80 universally preya-
lent, aud 20 many cnses fatal, we feel il our
duty TO say word 10 behalf Of Il simple and
what has heen with us most eiiectual preyen-
tatiye, it not positive cure, of sore throat For
many years past; indeed, we may sny during
the whole of II life of more than forty Years. We
have been subject to sore throat, nnd more mar.
ticuhrly 10 dry, hacking cough, which was
not only distressing to ourselves, hut To our
friends and those with whom We were brought
Into business contact. Last fall we were induced
10 try what virtue there was in common salt
We commenced by using it three times a day.
morning, noon and night. We dissolved lnrer
tablespoonful of pure table salt in about hall a
small tumber Of cold water With this we
gargled the throat most thoroughly lust before
meal time The result has been that. during
the entire winter, we were not only FREQ from The
usual coughs and colds to which, as far as our
memory extends, we have always been subject.
but the dry hacking cough has entirely dsap.
Peared. We attribute these satisfactory results
solely to the use Of the salt gargle, and do most
cordially recommend trial Of il TO those of onr
readers who are subject to diseases of the throat
Many persons who have never tried the salt
garge, have the impression that il is UNPLEASANT
such is not the case. On the contrary. il ia

who loves nice, clean mouth, and frst.rate
