The Waynesburg Republican. [volume] (Waynesburg, Pa.) 1867-18??, 1867-09-11

SxALt Pox. Last week we had nothing to
say on this subject because we knew nothing
definite and hesltated to place 5urself in d
false position before the public. This week,
If we RELY on the opinions of physicians, We
are left as much in the dark. Left to us, we
say, il is torn taLt that we have an increase in
the spread Of the disease. And that this was
brought about partly by carelessness, super
induced by general feeling of security, and
by the indscretion of attendant physicians in
not giving the public the warning in new ca.
ses. Messrs. Brown and Temple have 50 fal
recovered as TO be about, the latter having
resumed business. The new cases are those
of child of Mr.. Alex. Wallace, loose char
acter named "Pres' Rinehart and colored
woman-Clayburn by name. Proper precau-
ton is observed in the first case, and the lat
ter, but the case Of Rinehart has had nc
treatment and accounts have it, that he wan
ders about the alleys of the town staying in
barns and at times he has been seen in the
fields near by The attention of the council
quarters and attendance have been provided
him. The people have been too indifferen,
in regard to this matter. They should be
more cautious in visiting the sick until they
learn the nature Of the disease, and those
visiting should be extremely careful about
change of apparel and mingng with the
crowd. The cOntagion is far from epidemic
at present but II might beCUnie so if there Is
not more precauIon. 1t is highly desirable
TINT cold weather should find us free OF its
influence. 1t cannot be denied that its pres
cnce is becoming irksome, aud although
"rhe miserables. day we live
There's something better to do than die ~
we have no wish'to live miserable. Appropo,
we clip from an exchange the following rem
cdy for the disease, which is simple and
might be worthy of experiment:
The London ScapeL the highest medical au-
thoIity in the world, gives the following as an
inillliblc cure for smallpox and scarlet fever
Sulphate oizinc, one grain fox glove (digital-
isl one grain; half teaspoonful Of sugar,
mix with two tablespoonsiul of water. Take
q spoonful every hour. Either disease will
disappear in twelve hours. For q child,
smaller doses, according to age. If countries
would compel their physicians to use this,
there would be no need of pest houses.
