An exchange gives the following:
We call special attention to a cure
for one of the most fatal diseases to
which this climate is subject, Diph-
iberia. Don't fail to preserve it.
"Wheu It was raging in England a
few years ago, l accompanied DIR.
Field on his round to witness the
so-called wonderful cures he per-
formed, while the patients of others
dropped off on oil sides. All he
took with him was powdered sui
phur and a quill, and with these he
cured every patient without excep-
ton. He put a teaspoonful of -four
of birthstone into q 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 gargie, 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 recon-
mended 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 gargling, he blew the
sulphur through q quill into the
throat, and after the fungus had
shrunk to allow of II, then the garg-
ling" II the patient cannot gargle,
take q live coal, put it on q shovel
and sprinkle q spoonful or two OF
the -four of birthstone at q time on
il; let the sufferer inhale il, holding
the head over it, and the fungus will
die. II plentifully used the whole
room may be filed almost to suffO-
cation, and the patient will be able
to walk about in IL, inhsling the
fumes, with the doors and windows
closed. The mode of fumigating a
room with sulphur has often cured
most violent attacks of cold In the
head, chest, etc., and is also recon.
mended in cases of consumption and
asthma."-Eg.
