A SMALL POX REMEDY.-A oorres-
ponden of she Stockton (Cal.,) Herald
writes as follows: I herewith append a
receipt which has been used to my
knowledge in hundreds of cases. 1t
will prevent or cure the small pox,
though the pittings are filling. When
Jenner discovered cow-pox in England,
the world of science hurled an avalanche
upon mis- head, but when the most sci
entifc school of medicine in the world
that of Paris-published this recipe
as a panacea for small pox, it passed un-
needed. 1t is as untailing as fate,
and conquers in every instance. 1t is
harmless when taken by well
person. 1t will also cure scarlet fever.
Here is the receipo as have used it,
and cured my children of scarlet fever;
here it is as l have used it to cure
small pox when learned physicians said
the patient must die.
Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox
gloves (digitaiis, y one grain; half tea
spoonful of sugar; mix with two table
spoonfuls of water. When thoroughly
mixed, add four ounces of water. Take
a spoonful every hour. Either disease
will disappear in twelve hours. For a
child smaller doses according to age.
IF counties would compel their physi-
clans to use this, there would be no
need Of pest houses. If you value ad-
vice and experience, use this for that
terrible disease.

To CURE CATARRH "A correspond
ent of the usehold says: "Obtain a
small vial OF the tincture of iodine, drop
from three to five drops of it into mar
row mouthed vessel containing half
pint of boiling water, and shutting your
mouth closely, iuhale the vapor arising
from it through the nostrils. This done
twice day for some time will effect a
cure, especially when the disease arises
from a scrofulous nature, and will give
reliet to any one suffering from the
want OF the discharge which the disease
throws off through the nostrils."

The cavalcade entering Town in Grand
Procession, will be preceded by the
Golden Dauphin Chariot
The most magnificent specimen of Art and
Elaborate Workmanship ever paraded be-
