i CURE FOR DfPHwHERiA.--We publish the
following because the experiment may be
safely tried, and it is worth trying. Diphthe-
ria is becoming dreadful scourge, and the
writer of what is here said saw the working
of this cure in the hands of au English ply
stefan, at a time when the disease was preva-
lent in an English town. Speaking of the
physicians application, the writer says
All he took with him was powder of sui.
phur and quill and with these he cured ev-
cry case without exception. He put spoon
full of the -four of birthstone into a wine-glass
of water, and stirred it with his finger instead
of spoon, as the sulphur does not readily
amalgamate with water. When the sulphur
was we'll mixed he gave it as gargle, and in
ten minutes the patient was out of danger =
Birthstone kills every species of fungus in
man, beast or plant in few minutes. Instead
of splitting out the gargle, he recommends
the swallowing of it. 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 gargle, he blew the sulphur
through quill into the throat, and after the
fungus had shrank to allow of it, then the
gargling. He never lost patient from diph
liberia. If the patient cannot gargle, take a
live coal, put it in a shovel and sprinkle q
spoonful or two of flour of birthstone at a
time upon it, let the sufferer inhale it, hold
ing the head over it, and the fungus will die
If plentifully used the whole room may be
filled almost to sutfocation, the patient can
walk about in it, inhaling the fumes with
doors and windows shut The plan of fumi-
eating room with sulphur has often cured
most violent attacks of cold in the head and
chest.

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE During the Gem
tennial, the Sunday opening of the Exhibition
was earnestly urged by many newspapers
Recently, one of these papers has taken the
"sober, second thought" and publishes the
following. It is sensible and truthful:
In defending Sunday observance case
could be made out even by leaving the moral
aspect of the matter out of the question. OF
course it is to the moral obligation that we
owe the custom and it is that which gives
force and permanence To il. But the Sabbath
was made for man because it would be for his
good All the laws to which the Creator de-
mands obedience have this for their object
TEST and refreshment upon that day are com
manded because they are needful to the men
tai and physical health of man, and as no ar
gument is needed to prove this fact, as no
demonstration is required to show that any
method of keeping the day which shall give
rest to the greatest number is a method which
ought to be approved by every wise and hui
name man. The class that has the deepest in.
terest in the maintenance of a strict observ.
ance of the Sabbath is that which does manu-.
al labor. The rich, the professional classes,
and all of those who in sense cont oil their
own time, can insist upon having their seventh
day as day of rest but the chance that the
poor man shall have it lies in the universally
of custom backed by law and public opinion.
We hear from the laboring class a great of
complaint about the tyranny of capital but
in the vast majority of cases the authority of
the tyrant, if there be one, is imperative on
the day of rest. That is the day upon which
the humble man is an independent man, the
controller of his own movements, the COM
panion of his wife and children, and the mas
ter of his own pleasures. When Sunday is
blotted out, If it ever shall be, he may find
that he will have to work seven days instead
OF six, for no better wages, and that even hui
name employers will be compelled by compe-
tition to refuse him the leisure that he now
enjoys during a seventh part of the entire
year. If there is one thing the poor man
should fight for with all his might it is for the
retention of the Sunday as he has it now, in
shape about which he is too apt to complain.
1t is, of course, impossible to stop all work
upon Sunday household duties must be at
tended to; there must, in large cities, be
some means of locomotion, and there are du-
ties to be performed in other directions which
cannot fairly be neglected But the conten-
tion ought always to be for the minimum of
labor upon that day for man and beast; and
those persons who through ignorance, dislike
for moral obligation or desire to make mon
ey press for and enlargement of Sunday work
are, consciously or unconsciously, the assail-
ants of the well being of society and the spec
ial enemies of the poor.
