SMALL PoX. "A great discovery is
said to have been recently made by II
surgeon OF the English army in China,
in the way of an eilectual euro for the
small pox. The mode OF treatment
is as follows: When the proceeding
fever is at its height. and Just be-
fore the eruption appears, the chest
is rubbed with cro,on oil and tartaric
ointment. This causes the whole of
the eruption to appear on that Part OF
the body, to the relief Of the rest. II
also secures full aud complete erup-
ton, aud thus prevents the disease
from attracting the internal organs
This is said to be now the established
mode of treatment in the English army
in China by general orders, and is re-
garded as perfect cure.
