Cure for Diphtheria. The ravages Of
diphtheria in Australia have been so
extensive in the last few years that
the government offered large reward
for any certain method of cure, and
among other responses to this was one
by Mr.. Greathead, whoa first kept
his method secret, but afterwards
communicated it freely to the public.
1t is simply the use of sulphuric acid,
of which four drops are diluted in
three-fourths of a tumbler of water to
be administered to grown person and
a smaller dose to children, at intervals
not specified. The result is said to be
a coagulation of the diptheritic mem
brane and its ready removal by cough
ing. 1t is asserted that before the case
thus treated has advanced to near
" fatal termination, the patient re-
covered in almost every instance.

Terse Sayings.

There never has been o public
man 80 misunderstood and misin-
terpreted by the real enemies Of
the country as has been U. S.
Grant, from the time he took com.
mand of the armies of our country,
up to the year of grace, 1874.
When he said II will fight it out
on this line, if it takes all summer
the armed traitors of the South,
and their Democratic allies of the
North didn't comprehend him, until
Lee surrendered, and then they
called him |'bloody butcher.
When he told Phil Sheridan to
"Push things!' they couldn't un
derstand it until they were pushed,
EARLY and late, to the wall and i'm
paled on give Forks
When he made the memorable
declaration of 'Let us have peace!
then and now the unhung traitors
in the South determined that PEACE
should never rest upon the land,
and confer her blessings with ''equal
and exact justice" on all; and they
have constantly received said and
comfort" in this idea, from their
old Democratic allies, that THIS is a
white mans government, and that
the blessings Of equality before the
law should only be dispensed by
and through the white skinned race
to those whose cuticles are tinctur-
ed "from smoky-hue to sooty'-
making the basis of civil rights to
be possessed and enjoyed to depend
entirely on color!
And the last terse saying Of
President Grant to Governor Tom.

terpreted, az any of those we have

It has been given out, since his

WASHINGTON, April 8, 1869.
DIR. FoRsHA-Sir: Before you start West
l can do no less than thank you again for
your excellent and successful treatment Of
my son. He had been sick for many weeks,
under the care of medical gentleman OF
whom have high opinion, for his learn
ing, skill and experience, and yet he was
rot cured. His disease, suppose without
Gel tainly knowing, was brought on by
overstraining, in artillery exercise, in very
hot weather, at West Point. When he
came into your hands, his breast bone lone
side at least was protuded some two inches
beyond its proper position, attended with
difficulty of breathing and frequent palms.
BY the application OF your medicines, and
your personal practice, in less than week
the bones were reduced to their proper po-
sition, the pains ceased, the breathing be-
came easy and regular and, as far as can
judge, he is restored TO his accustomed ro-
bust health and activity.
Besides this within my own knowledge,
have heard of many instances of extraor-
binary cures effected by you, in cases of
very dangerous wounds.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
EDWARD BATES,
Attorney General u. S.
