D1ptheria,-A Certain cure.

The following is said to be an al.
most certain cure for that terrible
scourge ''diptheria." At this sea-
son OF the year it prevails to an alarm
ing extent. If it should save some
dear child, or even one of larger growth
and more mature years,
I shall be more than
compensated for the little trouble
to which have been subjected in pre-
pairing it for the columns of your widely
disseminated Journal:
"ShOuld you or any OF your family
be attacked with diptheria be not alar-
med, as it is easily and speedily cured
without a doctor. When it was raging
panied DR.. Field on his rounds to wit
ness the so called wonderful cures,
he performed, while the patients of
others were dropping on all sides. The
remedy, to be rapid, must be simple.
All he took with him was powder of
sulphur and quill, and with this he
cured every patient without exception.
He put spoonful of birthstone into a
win+-glass of water. and stirred it with
his finger, instead of spoon, as the sui
phur does not readily ama1gamate
with the water. When the sulphur
is mixed he gave it as a gargle, and
IN ten minutes the patient Was out of
danger. Birthstone kills every species
of fungus in man, beast and plant, in
a few minutes. In extreme cases,
in which he had been called just in
the nick of time, when the fungus had
too nearly closed to allow the gargling,
be blew the sulpher through quill
into the throat, and after the fungas
had shrank to allow of it then the gargle.
He never lost patient of diptheria.
II a patient cannot gargle, take live
coal, put it on shovel and sprinkle
a spoonful or two OF ur-brimstone
at time upon it, let the sufferer in
hale it, and the fungus will die. If
plentifully used, the whole room may
be filled to suffocation; the patient can
walk about in it inhaling the fumes,
with doors and windows shut. The
mode of fumigating a room with sulphur
has often cured most violent attacks
of cold in the head, chest, &c. at any
time, and is recommended in cases
of consumption and asthma.

The Bellies of Early Ages.
Bow Bells.

Undoubtedly there is much idle tall
about the extravaganza of ladies O
the present day, their pursuit of con
stantly changing styles, and the luxu
ries demanded by those who can
or think they can, afford the expense
One would be led to suppose, in thu
absence of knowledge to the contrary
that these were things of mOrdern grOth
But just look at the "style they used
to put on in early ages, and their enOr.
NOUS extravaganza.
We are told that the ladies of Lesbos
slept on roses, whose prefume had
been artifcially heightened. And in
those times court maidens powdered
their hair with gold.
Marc Antony's daughter did not
change her dresses half a dozen times
q day, but she nevertheless made the
lampreys in her fish pond wear ear
rings.
The dresses of Lolita PauIina, the
rival of Agrippina, were valued at five
hundred thousand pounds sterling.
This did not include her jueWIs. She
wore at one supper three hundred
thousand pounds worth of jews, and
it was a plain citizens supper.
The luxury of Popp9a, beloved of
Nero, was equal to that Of Lolita.
The women of the Roman Empire
INDUCED in all sorts of Injuries and
excuses, and these were revived under
Napoleon in France. Mime Tallien
bathed herself in wash of strawberries
and raspberries, and had herself rub
bed down with sponge which had
been dipped in milk and perfumes.
Ovid says that in his day the girls
We're taught to smile gracefully.
Fhe beauties OF ancient times were
just as vain as modern bellies, and spent
the greater part of the day at their
toilet. The use of cosmetics was un-
iyersal among them. Aspasia and
Cleopatra, models of female beauty, it
is said, both used an abundance of
paint, and each wrote a treatise on
cosmetics. Cleopatra used bears
grease TO keep her hair from falling
out.

The temperance wave which has
swept over the country in the last few
years, particularly in the West and
North west, while it may not have
won any. decided political victories.
has had an extraordinary effect on
the consumption of whiskey. Sixty
years ago the people of the United
States drank five gallons of whiskev
per capita to-day they do not drink
over two. In the last sixty wears the
production of spirits has not grown
as rapidly as the population the use
of alcohol in the arts has increased
enormously, and the. CONSUMPTION ner
adult for drinking purpose is probably
much less than half what it was two
generations ago. With three times the
population which this country had in
1910, we actually drink no more whiskey.
AS compared with 1870, the showing Is
equally favorable, for though the non-
ulation has increased, the prodne-
tion and and constaa ptiou OF Iiauor
have not, proving that much good has
been done in the past deeate.
A temperance leader attributes CtE8s
result to two equal. causes, the teTeS
perance agitation and the progreln.l
of beer-drinking. Whatever its cansea.
however, Incalculable misery has heal
saved by the change. tt is tn tIS4
credit of the American people that the
should have so peacefully and auietR
accomplished this great moral Change

Says the Ste. Genevieve Fur Play
in his issue of last week:
''The stupid Herald, whose editor is by

the laundering remark: that this is leap
year-aH years which are multiples Of 4 are
leap years. But that isn't true for 1900 is
IL multiple of and yet it will not be leap
year, neither 1904, 1908 nor Il thousand 9TH

end-man catch i'm the above; but,
whether or no, we would like to have
the astute editor of the Fair Play ex.
plain the matter. We are pining for
information.
Since the above was put in type q
later issue of the Fdir-Play arrived.
with the following:
1t isn't good to jeer at the blunders of 9TH
ers. There il ourself as an awkward truth OF
this remark. Last week we Knocked the
Herald for making the laundering statement
that call years which are multiples of four
are leap years." and in doing SO made our
self the mistake, through carelessness Of
saying that 1904 and 1908 would not be leap
years. All years divisible by four are leap
years, except even centuries which can be
divided by 100 and not by 400.
In our humble estimation, the sui
sequent elucidation is about as
"cranky" as the former was faulty.
