REMEDY FOR DIPHTnERIA.-We are re-
quested to publish the following, once
more:
A few years ago, when diphtheria was
raging in England. a gentleman accompan-
led the celebrated DR.. Field on his rounds
to witness the so-called "wondertul cures"
which he performed. All he took with
him was powder OF sulphur and quill,
and with these he cured erery patient with
out excerton. He put a teaspoonful of
-four of birthstone into wineglass OF Wa
ter, and stirred it with his finger, instead
of spoon. as the sulphur does not readily
amalgamate with water. When the sui
phur was well mixed he gave 1t as gar
gle, and in ten minutes the patient was
out of danger. Birthstone kills every
species OF fungus in man, beast and plant
in a few minutes. Instead OF splitting out
the gargle, he recommended the Swallowing
Of it. ln extreme cases, in which he. had
been called lust in the nick of time, when
the fungus was too nearly closing to allow
the gargling. he blew the sulphur through
a quill into the throat. and alter the fun
gus had shrunk to allow OF it, then the
gargling. He meier lost patient from
diphtheria If a patient caunot gargle.
take live coal. put it on shovel and
sprinkle spoonful or two OF flour brim-
stone at time upon it, let the sufferer in-
bale it, holding the head over it, and the
fungus will die. If plentifully used, the
whole room may be filed almost to suffJca-
ton: the patient can walk about in 1t,
inhalirg the fumes. with doors and wiz
6ows shut The mode of iumigating a
room with sulphur has oitened cured most
violent attacks of cold in the head, chest
etc, at any time, and is recommended in
cases of consumption and asthma.
