DipAo1a WasA-G Golden seal, puivsrizsd, one

per, puvenzed, one drsohm; alum, puivsTfxed, one
DR. chm; nitrate potash, puivsrized, one drachm;
SAT-, peavsn3sd, two dfschms. -
Put all Into common sised teacup OF vessel
which holds about four ouucss. and pour half fuil
OF boiling water, stir well, aud then al full OF good
vinegar. Fit for use when 1t settles. Make o swab
BY getting little stick about the size Of pipe
stem, notch one end, and wrap q string OF cotton
cio around II, letting the cloth project about half
an inch beyond the end Of the stick, 50 as not to
jag the mouth and throat, and iasien with thread.
swab the mouth and throat well every half hour
IL ile case IL bad, every hour IL not bad When the
patient gets better, every two hours; then when
better, every four hours; and whom s. better, two
or three times day, TIL well; which W II be from
Two TO seven days. Touch every affected spot,t the
uvUia, tonsls and fauces, the whole Of the back
part af tho mouth and top Of the throat; and let the
patient swallow little of the wash each time you
swab. swabbing causes no pain, though ths pa
tsn. will gag, and sometimes vonlt; but swab
well, and feeling Of relief will follow every swab
biBg.
Let every patient have a separate swab and
wash, as the disease Is undoubtedly infectious -
Keep the wash pure by pouring what you can use
each time into another vessel, and also wipe of
any matter or slime that mag be ON the swab every
tins you take IL from the mouth.
Rub tho following liniment on the throat out
side once every three or four hours, and keep
flannel cloth around the neck till well.
Take spirits tarpentine, one ounce.
Take sweet oil Tor linseed otl.) one oune@
Take aqua ammonia, (mix y ono ounce.
Shake before using each time.
Keep the bowels regular with castor oil
Keep the patient In the house. but ventilats well.
The diptherla wash and liniment will be found suf
ficient for all cases. If taken In time; and shoud
you mistake any other "sorc throat" for dipthera,
you will effect cure almost Invariably, a. use
this for all common sOre thrOats have never lost
a case, and many have told me that 40 money
would induce them, In these 'diptherla times" 70
be without the wash and iniment; and when
soreness In the throat Is felt IL is used and cure
is always effected.
