Salt for the Throat "A writer says
that a gargle Of salt is an effective rem
edy for sore throat For forty years he
had been troubled with dry, hacking
cough, hardly more distressing to him
than to all about him. Last fall he was
led to try the plan of mixing q teaspoon
full OF fine salt in small Matchmaker
Of water, and gargling the throat thor
oughly just before each meal. He not
only has escaped all coughs and colds
during the winter, but has become en-
tirely free from his lifelong cough. He
confidently recommends the same treat
ment for the various forms Of inham-
nation of the throat, now so common,
and 80 often fatal. The remedy is well
worth trying, though very few people
will try ii or anything else SO cheap.
