tackled with diphtheria do not be alarmed,
as it is usually speedily cured without a
doctor.
"When it was raging in England few
years ago, accompanied Dr. Field on his
round TO witness the socalcd wonderful
cures he performed while the patients Of
others dro ped off ON all sides. The remedy
to be SO rapid must be simple. All he took
with him was powdered sulphur aud
quill, and with these he cured every pa
tiente without exception. He put tea.
spoonful Of -four of birthstone into wine
glass of water and mixed. it with his finger
instead of a spoon as the sulphur does not
readily amalgamate with water. When
the sulphur was well mixed he gave it as a
garyle, and in ten minutes the patient was
out Of danger. Birthstone kills every spe-
cies of fungus in man, beast aud plant, in
few minutes. Instead Of splitting out the
garSle he recommended the swallowing of
it. In extreme cases in which he had been
called just in nick of time, when the fun
gus was too nearly closing to allow the gar.
Cling, he blew the sulphur through quill
into the throat, and after the fungus had
shrurk to allow of it then the garging.
If the patient cannot garylc, take live
coal, put it on shovel and sprinkle spoon
full OF two of the -four Of birthstone at a
time on it; let the sufferer nhalc it, hold :
ing the head over it, and the fungus will
die. fplentituIy used, the whole room
may be filed to suffocation, and the patient
will be able to walk about in it, inhaling
the fumes, with the doors aud windows
closed The mode of fumigating q room
with sulphur has often cured most violent
attacks of cold in the head, chest, etc., and
is also recommended in cases of consump.
ton and asthma"

HELP YOURSELF Fight your own bat.

of any one and you will succeed five times
better than he who is always beseeching
some ones patronage. No one will help
you as you will yourself. because no one
will be SO heartily interested in your affairs
The first step will net be such long one,
perhaps carrying your own way up the

win love do their wooinS and never knew

NSnlCaBO 1lmeS.
Messrs. Read aud Pell, members of par
lament, appointed to investigate the agri-
cultural situation in the United States and
Canada, arrived 10 this city day or two
ago. In conversation with a represent
alive of the Times they admitted that the
present condition of affairs In England is
deplorable, and that there seems to be no
immediate prospect of relief. Unfavorable
seasons, the loss of market for their wares.
and hostile tariffs are set down as the
causes of the prevailing agricultural, mer-
camille. and industrial depression These
conditions have had much to do with
bringing about the stagnation of which
they complain, but there are others of
longer standing and more powerful inHu-
ence. The British system of farming is
radically wrong, and the development of
the great west, where every crop raiser is
landowner, was all that was needed to
demonstrate it. Successful competition
with American food producers. under
such circumstances, is an impossibility
which succeeding years will demonstrate
more and more forcibly. The loss of
markets may be accounted for in much the
same manner. American manufactures
are not only cheaper, bpt in many respects
superior IN quality. They are crowding
English goods off the shelves for these
reasons, and would do so to a still greater
extent were it not for the retalatory duties
which the United States tariff invites. If
| the English commissioners fail to appreci
ate these matters, their report will not be
| of great value.
