SMALLPOX Cured.

sidering the prevalence or this disease
now, it should certainly be tried. We
bear witness to its efficacy IN scarlet
fever: "The following recipe has been
used to my knowledge in hundreds Of
cases. 1t will prevent or cure small
pox, though the pits are filling. When
Jenner discovered cow-pox in England,
the world of science hurled an ava
lanche upon his head, but when the
most scientific school of medicine
that of Paris-pubished this recipe rs
a panacea for smallpox, it passed un-
needed. 1t is rs unfailing rs fate, and
conquers in every instance. 1t is harm
less when taken by "a well person. 1t
will also cure scarlet fever. Here it
is as have used it to cure smallpox
when learned physicians said the pa
tient must die, it cured. Sulphate of
zinc, grain; fox glove (digitalis),
grain; half teaspoonful of sugar;
mix with two teaspoonfuls of water.
When thoroughly mixed, add four
ounces of water Take spoonful
every hour. Either disease will disap-
pear in twelve hours. For a child
smaller doses according to age" He
adds: "If countries would compel
their physicians to use this, there would
be no need of pest-houses. If you value
advise and experience, use this for that
terrible disease"
DR.. James Moore, of Ironton, O., in
a lengthy article, announces lemon
juice as a specific, and instances his
own case, when his body was covered
with the eruption, and suffering in
tensely from the pain, he squeezed the
juice Of lemons in glass placed upon
the table by his bedside. lie drank
this, he says, to allay the burning and
lesson the hearts action. After taking
the juice of two lemons, his pulse had
dropped to sixty within twenty min
utes, and he fell as if next to a mass
of ice. Placing his hands upon his
face, he found that the eruptiOns were
gone, and in their place was grumous-
like fluid which had exuded. Those
upon his neck had not burst, but shrunk
away in size wonderfully. He used
lemon juice for thirty-six hours more,
when the small .pox was gone entirely.
He says; $50 strongly am convinced in
the power of lemon juice to absorb any
and every case of small pox, if admin
istered as / administered it to myself,
that l look upon it as specific of as
much certainty and power in amall-pox
as quinine is in intermittent fever. l,
therefore, publish my experiment, hop
ing every physician having case of
smallpox will give it a fair trial and
report the result to me-"
The services of physician are not
necessary in vaccination. Vaccinate
yourselves. Procure virus or a quill
from drug gist of reliability. Scrape
off the outer skin for the space of
square inch with very sharp and
clean knife or razor-on the left arm
just below the shoulder in adults, On
the right arm with children, on the leg
below the knee with infants. Split
the quill in four pieces. BY dipping
each piece in water, then rubbing off
all dry, the operation is performed.
1t is not necessary that blood should
be brought in the scraping, only that
it shows beneath. The virus works IN,
not out.
The vaccination of a patient after he
is down with the disease, will mitigate
wonderfully it's force and length. With
all these tried and proven remedies,
smallpox ought never to become so
fearful or so epidemic. Good nursing
and these remedies will save all bat
those who were already troubled with
disease when attacked.
