conqners in every instance. It's harm.
less when taken by we'll person. It
will also cure scarlet fever. Here is
the recipe as have used it to cure nv
childred of scarlet fever; here it is as I
have used it to cure the small pox.-
When learned physicians said the pa
tient must die, it cured:
Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox-glove
ldigatalis) one grain; half teaspoon
full OF sugar; mix with two table,
spoonsful of water. When thoroughly
mixed, add four ounces of water
Take a spoonful every hour. Either
disease will disappear in twelve hours.
For child, smaller dose, according to
their age.
1fyou value advice and experience.
DO not fail to use this remedy for that
terrible disease.

greatest care is exercised to prevent

are carefully swept every evening, and
Ine sWeeplngs put away to have the
eold removed from them by chemical
process. Every now and then aprons

are Dnrnt up to get the gold out Of
them. Even brushes, clothes, cotton
