with diptheria, cold ehills, burning fever,
and sore ethroat. L counted one morning
ten little vesicles in his throat, very white,
and his tongue, towards the root, just like q
watermelon, full of seeds; the remainder
coated as thick as knifs-blade. So many
children have died around here, / was afraid
to call physician, and thought would try
your Pain Killer for a gargle, with small
doses inwardiy. did so, and found the
gargle' invariably cut off the vesicles, and
he raised them up, often covered with blood.
He was taken on Sunday on Wednesday
his throat was dear, and his tongue rapidly
clearing off. l also used il as a liniment,
with castor oil and hartshorn, for his neck.
1t seemed to me a wonderful cure, and
can but wish it could be known to the many
poor mothers in our land who are losing 40
many children by this dreadful disease.
! have found your Pain Killer one Of the
most valuable medicines ever used IN Bur
