EASILY TRIED.--Cut this out--keep
and try it in emergency----it can do you
no harm, and may be of service. There
is no necessity of death resulting from
diphtheria Or Group especially with the
young, if the proper preventive is ap-
70 piled in time, and it is at the service of
every mother and nurse in the whole
country. 1t is. simply to spread CON-
mon tar on a muslin strip, as you would
prepare plaster, and wrap it around
the neck aud glands Of the patient.
Renew aud supply fresh tar on the child
once or twice day, and its life is as
sured. This is very simple cure, and
diphtheria is in almost every case fatal,
we would advise those having it to try
this remedy. There is nothing iujuri-
Gus in the tar, and therefore it can
have no bad effect.
