A Salt Cure.

Here is simple thing that is worthy Of
attention. 1t may be the means of doing
much good, and at any rate. could do 30
harm: John Bland, az Esglishman, writes
to the New York Herald of discovery he
claims 10 have made in disease and its pre-
vention. The letter treats of the theory of
disease germs, their development, and new
treatment for their destruction. The germ
theory of disease admitted common salt is
the universal psnscea and sntidote of germ
poison. Salt kills both vegetable and ami
NAL germs, and vegetables and animals too,
administered in quantities large enough
Farmers som. timts steep their seed grain in
brine to kill the vegetable germs which
would destroy its growth; the sslling pro-
cess of fish and meat performs the same office
for the preservation. People who eat little
salt Sre more liable to contract and develop
disease than those who kn mans sllottei
ihree.quarters of an ounce DAILY portion of
the chloride Of sodium. B.sld's conviction
is that salt eating is the ,hrg to kill the
germs of cholera, yellow &c, smallpox,
or any other infectious o: :. Il .agious disease
when epidemics are around. Two or three
ounces day in times of danger from disease
germs will not ipjure nybody even if it does
no good.
