A New Remedy for Diphtheria.

IMPERIAL RUSSIAN LEGATION, WASHING
TON, November 16, 1S79.-To the Editor of
the Neao York Herald: In view of the in
crease of diphtheria in several places of the
State of New York, [ hasten to communicate
to you for publicity a very simple remedy,
which, having been used in Russia and Ger
many, may prove effective here. Out of
several others Dir. Letzerich, who made ex-
tensive experiments in the application of
this remedy, has used it in twenty
cases, eight OF which were of a very serious
nature, all of which had favorable result
except in one case, when the child died
from complication of diseases. For chill
dren of one year he prescribes the remedy
for internal use every one or two hours, as
follows:
Natr. benzoic, pur. so solv. in aq. dis
tillat aq. menth. piper, ana 1000 syr. cort.
aur. 100
For children from one to three years old he
prescribed it from seven to eight grammes
for 100 grammes of distilled water, with
some syrup; for children from three to sew
en- years old he prescribed ten to fifteen
grammes, and for grown persons from fif-
teen to twenty-five grammes for each 100
grammes.
Besides this he uses also, with great sue
cess, the Installation on the diphtherial
membrane through glass tube in serious
cases every three hours, in light cases three
times day of the natr. benzoic pulver.-
For grown people he prescribes for gargling
dilution OF ten grammes of this pulver for
200 grammes of water.
The effect of the remedy is rapid. After
twenty-four or thirty-six hours the feverish
symptoms disappear completely and the
temperature and pulse become normal. This
remedy was also used with the same sue
cess by Dr. Braham Braun and Prof. Klebs,
in Prague; DR.. Senator, in Cassel, and sew
eral others in Russia and Germany.
Hoping that the publication, through
your widely spread paper, will prove bene-
fetal in the United States, l remain, yours
very truly, N. SHIsHKTN,
Minister Of Russia to the United States.

Poultry.

With this month the vermin commence
in earnest. The warmer the weather gets
the greater they increase. Eternal vigil
lance will now be strictly necessary, and
the interior of the hen house should be
we'll washed with water strongly impreg-
mated with carbolic acid. Use a common
whitewash brush and see that every por-
ton is gone over and well-wetted, then after
it is dry good coat of white-wash should
follow. There are three kinds of lice that
prey upon poultry, and they are sure to
Sicarm where there is an accumulation of
droppings, or where cleanliness is not the
rule of the day. The minute red louise,
called by some the spider louise, that makes
nocturnal depredations, is a most annoying
pest, and exceedingly difficult to dislodge
and exterminate During the day they
may readily be found clustered in countless
numbers under the joints of the roosts, and
they are so very small that an experienced
person will often overlook them. A good
way to manage them is to have strong
solution of carbolic acid and water, and
with stick to which is tied at one end
good swab of rags wash them off into the
bucket; then close up the crevices, doors
and windows, and fumigate thoroughly
with sulphur (brimstone stick is the best to
use) for an hour; then open the doors and
windows and give the house good airing
before allowing the fowls to remain inside.
If the flocks are infested with the regular
chicken louise every bird should be annointed
under the wings, and Immediately over the
vent with lard and sulphur-mixed to the
consistency of ointment. This is best done
at night for various reasons. The louise
that is found ON the heads of chicks as soon
as they are dry in the nest, is claimed by
some tosbe the cape louise; but if the heads
of the chicks are rubbed on top with the
lard and sulphur, as soon as they are re-
moved with the hen from the nest, and the
hen anointed as mentioned above, the
broods will thrive. Fowls that are still
confined on account of the garden, as it is
just in the height of the ''egg season." it
will be necessary to feed literally, not for
getting to furnish plenty of green food if
the yards are bare. The weeds from the
garden, especially pursley and lambs quar-
ter, the fowls are very fond of. If they
can be let out an hour before sun-down,
they will go for the green's lively. Don't
neglect plenty of fresh water. Proper care
and liberal feeding will be we'll paid for in
eggs. Only the meal and middlings need
now be fed, as the green food can be Sc
cured ad h6itum.

In the course of time we married. Such
a bald statement of an idylic fact! But
that is all that words can do-only half tell
any tale. Our secret and our love and how
she looks to me still are told to us silently
