Cure for Diptheria.

A correspondent from Wollastou sends
US the following cure for diptheria;
"Shouid you Or any of your family be
attacked with diptheria, be not alarmed,
as it is easily and speedily cured without
doctor. When it was raging in Eng
land few years ago, l accompanied DIR.
Field on his round to witness the so-called
"Wonderful Cures" he performed, while
the patients of others were dropping away
on all sides. The remedy, to be so rapid,
must be simple. All he took with him
was a powder of sulphur and quill, and
with these he cured every patient without
exception. He put teaspoonful OF flour
Of birthstone into a glass of water, and
stirred it with his finger, instead OF a
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 a few minutes the patient was
ou of danger. Birthstone kills every
species Of fungus in man, beast, or plant
in a few minutes. Instead Of splitting out
the rarsle. he recommends the swallow OF
il. In extreme cases, in which ne has
been called in the nick Of time, when the
fungus was too nearly closed to allow
the gargling, he blue the sulphur through
a quill into the throat, and after the
fungus had shrunk to allow of it, then the
gargliDg. He never lost patient from
diptheria. If patient cananot gargIe,
take a live coal, put it on shovel, and
sprinkle spoonful or two Of -four brim-
stone at a time upon it, let the sufferer
inhale it, holding the head over 1t and
the fungus will die. If plentifully used
the whole room may be filled almost to
sufOcatiOn; the patient can walk about
in 1t, inhaling the fumes with doors and
windows shut. The mode Of fumigaiing
a room with sulphur often cured most
violent attacks of cold in the head, chest,
&c. at any time, and is recommended III
cases Of consumption and asthma.
