SMALL Pox.--We heard yesterday that
the smallpox was prevalent in Belleville.
Without giving special crsdencs to the
rumor it may be as well to remind our
citizens that this scourge is now in a
| great many interior towns on the coast
| and due amount of precaution is not
| out of place in Phoebe. Habits of clean
liness and temperance are the best safe
| guards (of course excepting vaccination)
| against this loathsome disease. While
we re on this topic wei may as we'll ap-
pend the following which was published
IN the Virginia Enterprise year of more
ago and may be worth preserving for
reference: 81 herewith append receipt
which has been used to my knowledge In
hundred cases. 1t will cure or prevent
the smallpox, though the pittings are
| filling. 1t is as unfailing as fate and
| conquers in every instance. 1t is harm
less when taken by a well person. 1t
| will also cure scarlet fever. Here it is
as l have used it and cured my children
of scarlet fever. Here it is as used it
to cure smallpox when the learned ply
stefan said the patient must die. 1t
cured. Suphate of zinc, one grain; fox
glove (digitalis), one grain; half q tea
spoonful Of sugar; mix with two table
spoonfuls of water; vhsn thoroughly
mixed add four ounces of water. Take
a spoonful every hour. Either disap-
pears in twelve hours. For q chIld,
smaller doses, according to age We
used the above receipt III case of small
pox at Eureka three years ago, and are
fully convinced that it brought US
through the disease quickly and safely,
for We used no other medicine"
