Dipth eria.

The following cure for diptheria is taken from the Laws of Life." It was taken originally from Victoria paper to which it was sent by correspondent. It IS so simple and is claimed to be eficacious, it should be more widely k.own.
 Should any of your family be attacked with diptherIa, do not be alarmed. for it is easily and speedily cured, When it was raging ln England few years ago ac companied Dr. Field on his rounds to wit ness the cures be perfoi med. while the patients of others were dropping on all sides. All he took with him was powder and sulphur and quill. [The quilt was only used when the patient had got be- yond the power to gargle.l He cured ev ry patient without exception. He put tea spoonful of sulphur in wineRlass of water aLd stirred it with his finger instead of spoon, as the sulphur does not readily amaleamate with water. When it was well mixed he gave it as garRle, aud in ten minutes the patient was out of danger. Birthstone kills every spec,es of fungus ic man, beast or plant in few minutes Instead of spittinR out the gargle he rec commended the swallowing of 1t. In ex- treme cases when be has been called just in the nick of time, when the fungus was too near closing to allow the garPling, he blew the sulphur through the quill into the threat, and after the fungus had shrunk to allow of It, then gave the gargle. He never lost patient from diptheria. If patient can't garale, a good way IS to take live coal on g shovel, sprinkle a spoonful or two of sulphur at 8 time upon it, and let the patient inhale it. holding the head over it, and the fungus will dIe. This mode of using sulphur has often cured cold in the head, chest, etc., and is recommended for consumption and asth- ma."

 At last the sun rose, blood red, through a vast canopy of smoke that oVerhung the city, and found the mob at a white heat of fury: Word was passed along the ragged lines of the beseigers that the round house must be fired. Combustibles were arrang- ed on cars and burning train sent toward the building. At s,20 the fire from the burning wreck of freight cars communicat- ed with the upper round-house, in which seventy freight engines were stalled, and the building and it's contents were speedily destroyed. The value of this property is estimated at $l. l.oO0, 900. The roofs fell in in twenty minutes, and the building is a mass of ruins. At s,3O the Union line of flee caught fire, and in fifteen minutes It was destroyed. The houses on the south side of Liberty street also took fire, and then, at last. the engines were allowed to play on the flames and extinguisb them.
 When the round-house took fire, either to burn or retreat were the only alterna- tives left for General Brinton's command. One attemptto escape met with repulse, but after little, arrangements were made for second sally. Forming in close col umn they salhed out of the main entrance, with guns loaded and bayonets fixed, and moved at double quick down Liberty to Twenty fifth street, where they turned toward Penn. Here running fight began. There was 8 scattering Youey of small arms, when suddenly Brinton's command opened a murderous fire with Gatling gun, moving great gaps through the dense crowd, killing ten or twelve, and wound ing twice IS nay. The soldiers, too, were being stricken down. At Penn street they turned toward the United States arse nal. and retreated rapidly, but in tolerable order, pursued by the mob. Reaching the arsenal they attempted to enter, but the Federal commandant refused to permit them, and they continued their retreat uI to and beyond Sharpsburg, and are now said to be at the County workhouse, six miles from the city. An expedition is be ing fitted out to pursue them. Twelve eoldiers are reported killed, and2O or St wounded, the casualties being nearly equa on both sides. The exact number of killed and wounded caLnot be verified for hours vet,

sulphur induces mo to let my medical brethren know of the plan that they may apply the same without delay. All the cases ID winch I used 1t were well marked, and the epidermis on the arms in each case came away like the skin of a snake. The following was the exact treatment in each case: Thoroughly anoint the patieI t twice dailywith sulphur ointment.and give five to ten gr aims of sulphur in 8 little jam three times a day. SuficIent sulphur was burned twice day lon coals of fire on shovel to fill the room with the fumes. and of course was thoroughly inhaled by the pat ient. Under this mode of treat ment each case improved immediately, and none were over eight days in making a complete recovery"
 These remedies are very simple, and may bs of value. They were used and recom- mended by the regu ar practitioners.
