The following cases come under his obser-
va.icn after that date. In March and April.
1851. the disease in question broke out un.
der an epidemic form, and chiefly attacked
adult. with such violence that in one vssk
three young women died In one hcuSe.
One OF Dr.. De Grand's patients afflicted
with blophaci.e, was seized with il, and -
he could not Immediately atteud. owing to
the severity of the case another physician
was called in. who ordered emesics aud
aluminoas garglss. which produced no
effect.
AT length DR.. De Grand came and foaad
the tonaiIs greatly swollen. end . fAas0 0s0-s
brane covering them. He immediately ad-
minstrel small pieces OF ice, aud by the fol-
lowing morning the tumitication of tho tom
sils had deminished by half. and tho false
membrane had nearly disappeared. That
very evening she was enabled to take food.
Pro6ting by this example. a few days after
her brother was seized with sore throat,
presenting the same preliminary symptoms,
ss those Of his sister: but he. without wait
ing for the doctor. at once took some Ice.
and was rid Of his sore throst in few hours.
Some days later DR.. De Grand was sum.
moned TO young lady who had been labor
ing under the disease for some forty hours;
ali remedies bad failed. and the parents.
relations and friends Of the family were
plunged 10 the deepest sorrow. When Dr..
De Grand orJerad ice. general cry Of
establishment was uttered BY all present.
Ice far a sore throat! Impossible! 1t Was
sheer murder?
DIR. De Grand maintained his ground, aud
after much expostulation. during which
much time was lost. he obtained his end.
Before twenty four hours were over. the
patient was in full coavaleecence. Being at
Vera Cruz on a mission. he was requested to
see young man who was attacked with
malignant sore throat, and had been treated
without effect by cau!erizations with hy-
draulic acid and astrin gent gargles. Hero
again he had to battle with prejudices OF
the family, but WAS at length allowed to ad.
minister ice. The young man rccovefsd
in the course of The following day. DR.. De
Grand has been using this remedy Tor tho
last twelve years without having met with
q single failure. This is what he says, b~s
even il only half Of what he aays wore true.
garglss have been employed with SUCCESS
by DR.. Blanc, OF Strssburg; why not icc?-
