Salt for the Throat these davs
when diseases of the throat are So
universally prevalent, and in so many
cases fatal we feel it our duty to say
a word III behalf of most cffectual,
IT not positive, cure for core throat.
For many years past, indeed. we may
say during The whole Of a life of moro
than forty years, we have been snIr
Ject to sore throat, and more particu-
larry TO n dry hacking cough, which, IA
not only distressing to Ourselves.
but to our friends and those with
whom we are brought into business
contact. Last fall we were induced
to try what virtue there was in COM
mon salt. We commenced by using
1t three times n day morning, noon
and night. We dissolve a large ta-
blesponful Of pure table salt ~ about
half small tumbIcr foil of water.
With this we gargIed The throat most
thoroughly just before meal time.
The result has been that during tho
entire winter we were not only free
from coughs and colds. brt fhe dry
hacking cough has entirely disarpear-
ed. We attribute these satisfactory
results solely to the use of salt gargle.
and most cordially recommend -
trial Of it to those who are subject 10
diseases OF the throat.
