Diphther1a,

We learn that diphtheria has, during the
past month, committed terrible ravages at
Princeton, Bureau county, in this State,
among the children. To the past twenty
days, We are informed. the deaths of
children have averaged one per day.
Here is diphtheria remedy extracted
from the Belfast Qreland) Witness It is
certainly simple enough. If it is indeed
what is claimed for it. it ought to be widely
circulated:
Should you or one of your family be
attacked with diphtheria. do not be

powder and sulphur and quill, and
with these he cured every patient without

the patient was out of danger. Birthstone
kills every species of fungus in man, beast,
and plant, in few minutes. Instead OF
splitting out the gargle, he recommended
the swallowing oft.
| In extreme cases, in which he had been
called just in the nick of time, when the
fungus was too nearly closed to allow the
gargling. he blew the sulpher through q
quill into the throat, and after the fungus
had shrunk, to allow of it, then the garg
