A cut-throst in Boston frequently distributes
circulars through the city, offering to sell grocer
les, sending them by express, at a cheap rate.
But the sugar, tea, coffee, starch, and other ari.
cles, only serve as cloaks to cover up the deep
dAmnstion" of his real rurpose-the sale of in
to1iaating liquors. This isthe same fellow COM
planned of by our correspondents in Lincoln
county and elsewhere, whose by dra head is shown
above his package of groceries, and whose mean
and sneakir nature crops out even in his circu-
lars, in which he means to conceal from the un-
initiated his real purpose. He adverlises to
send liquors secure from seizure. on the receipt
of money and orders" Let the public expose
the real character of this miserable fellow, and
his business In Maine will soon fall through for
want of patrons.

A Remedy for Diphtheria and Throat Dis

A Nemedy Tor Diphtneria ana IhrOat Dis-
eases.
A few years ago, when diphtheria raging in
England. gentleman accompanied the celebrated
Dr. Field on his rounds 10 witness the so called
"wonderful cures" which he performed, while the
patients of others were dropping on all sides. The
remedy to be SO rapid, must be simple. All he
took with him was powder Of sulphur and quill,
and with these he cured erery patient without eS-
ception. He put a teaspoonful Of -four of biim-
stone into wineglass of water. and stirred it with
his finger instead of spoon, as the sulphur does
not readily amalgamate with water. When the
sulphur was well mixed he gave it as a gargle,
and in ten minutes the patient was out of danger.
Birthstone kills every species Of fungus in man,
beast and plant 10 few minutes, Instead ofspit
ting out the gargle, he recommended the swall.w
ing of il. In extreme cases, in which he had been
called lust In the nick Of time, when the fungus
was too nearly closing to allow the gareling, he
blew the sulphur through quill into the throat
and after the fungus had SHRINK to allow of it,
than the gareling. lie never lost patient
from dphtheria. If a patient cannot eargle,
spoonful or two Of -four of birthstone at time
upon it, let the sufferer inhale IT, holding the
head over il, and the fungus will die. If plenti-
fully used, the whole room may he filed almost
to suffocaton; the patient can walk about in it,
inhallpp the fumes. with doors and windows shut.
The mode Of fumigating room with sulphur has
often cured the most violent attacks Of cold in the
head. chest, etc., at any time, and is recommend.
eded in cases Of consumption and asthma.
