Salt for flaG Throat.

In these days when diseases Of the
throat are SO universally prevalent,
and in so many cases fatal, we feel it
our duty to say a word in behalf Of a
most eifectual if not positive cure for
sore throat
For many years past, indeed, we
may say during the whole of life Of
more than forty years, we have been
subject to sore throat, and more par
ticularly to a dry, hacking cough,
which is not only distressing to our
selves, but to our friends and those
with whom we are brought into bus
mess contact.
Last fall we were induced to try
what virtue there was in common salt.
We commenced by using it three
times day-mornipg, noon andnight.
We dissolved large tablespoonful OF
pure table salt in about half small
lumber full of water. With this we
gargle the throat most thoroughly
lust before meal time. The result
has been that during the entire win
ter We were not only free from coughs
