DIPHTHERIA.
A Pennsylvania MatrOn's Cure
for the Dreaded Disease.

At a recent meeting of the Brook
Ign board of aldermen, commun1-
cation on diphtheria and its cure
was received from a lady in Will
Transport, Pennsylvania. She said
that she was the mother of six
children, all of whom had been af-
fiicted with the dreaded disease
and were cured - the following
remedy: Take a slice of fat bs-
cOn-side meat-the older the
better; sew it on a soft piece of
flannel; then saturate it with coal
petroleum. oil. Place it on the
neck, having the meat reach from
ear to ear. After pounding several
raw onions into a poultice place
enough of the same into the pa
TENTS stockings to cover the soles
of the feet, and have the patient
put the stockings on. The poul
tice mast be warm in order not to
chill the patient. The throat
should then be gargled with some
tomato catsup, strong with red pep
per, salt and vinegar, or red pepper
salt and vinegar well shaken to-
gether will do. If the patient is
too young to gargle, wet the throat
with a few drops. If vomiting oc-
ours, lime water purchased at the
drug store with directions should
be given Be sure to cause an irri-
tatiOn on the neck"

The Champion Liar.


DGAAOAN Il ANN a ANS9s
The most able bodied liar on this
continent is now on the staff OF the
San Francisco Chronicle, and that
paper is justly proud of his bril-
liant mcndscity. Gifted as others
have been in this line, the Frisco
man discounts them all and gives
them as many points as they wish
at the beginning of the game. His
genius in this respect is probably
the result of the glorious climate
of California, ably seconded by that
training which only Chicago or
San Francisco can give. His most
imposing and massive falsehoois
are always in the medical line. n
while ago he gave an account of a
physician who removed con
demned criminals brain piece by
piece. The top OF the unfortunate
culprit's head would lift of like a lid
so that any inquisitive person
could gaze at the empty shell To
do the doctor justice 1t must be add
mitted that he kept the scooped Tout
head filed with cotton, so thai the
brainless man could not catch cold.
No doubt California is so accum-
toned to see men without brains
that this story passed current there.
This man, we presume, Is now an
esImable citizen Of San Francisco,
going aboutwith lump OF cotton in
stead of brains. Again, this chrOni-
cler wrote OF physician who fixed
up a bath that would freeze solid
in an instant by touching an cleo
trio knob. BY mistake the physi-
clan got into the bath. some one
touched the knob, aud in a moment
the doctor was ready 10 be loaded
on a ice wagon.

Paris (Tenn.) Post.
We learn that Mrs. Tennie Lee,
while coming's6p the railroad on
Monday last, accompanied by her
little daughter, discovered that the
track had been blocked up for some
purpose. There were three cross
ties on the track securely fastened
down by pieces of old fence rails.
Mrs. Lee spent nearly an hour in
clearing away the lncumbrance.
Being a delicate woman, and hay
ing no assistance except what her
little daughter could give, she was
perfectly exhausted from her exer
tions in prizing and rolling the
heavy crossties from the track.
She states that the northern bound

Hope for Consumptives at Last

From official record, we learn that
over sixty thousand persons die annu-
ally in the United States from pulmO-
nary consumption. In each of these
cases there was a first or incipient stage
of the disease, when all the life forces
and organic structures were yet unim-
paired by his encroachments. If at
this time an agent had been found which
could give to the system higher de-
gree ofvitality, and so enable it to resist
the deadly assault, this perilous crisis
would have been safely passed. And
not this one only. In every subsequent
assault of the enemy, especially where
there existed some hereditary faint, a
prompt resort to the same re-vitalizing
agent would have given like relief and
immunity. Now, it is confidently
claimed, and the claim is substantiated
by the results of over twelve years. ex-
perience of its use, that just such an
agent has been discovered in Compound
Oxygen, the use of which is rapidly ex-
tending. If you wish to learn all abont
this new treatment, address Drs. Starkey

will promptly mail you their Treatise on
