A SHALL Pox REMEDY. Disinfection Is the
mos. certain preventive against the spread of
small pox. Carbolic acid, diluted in sixty parts
of water to one of the acid, sprinkled upon the
clothing once or twice day, will prevent an in
dividual taking the disease. "A little of the pure
acid, say one-fourth of an ounce, kept in vial,
stoppled with a common cork, and set in room
will keep the disease out of the room. From
three to six of such vials, scattered through
dwelling, will keep the disease out. This dis
infection remedy is almost certain to prevent the
spread of the disease. 1t costs but little to ap-

in addition to its almost certain efficacy, it can
