In these days when diseases Of the
throat are SO universally prevalent,
and in so many cases fatal, we feel it
our duty to say a word in behalf Of a
most ~effectual, if not positive, cure for
sore throat. For many years past, we
may say dnring the whole Of a life of
more than forty years, we have been
subject to a dry, hacking cough, which
it is not only distressing to ourselves,
but 10 our friends and those with
whom we are brought into business con
tact.
Last Fall we were induced to try
what virtue there was in common salt.
We commenced by using it three times
a day-mOrning, noon and night. We
dissolved a large tablespoonful Of pure
table salt in about half a tumblerful Of
water. With this we gargled the
throat most thoroughly just before
meal time. The result has been that
during the entire winter we were not
only free from coughs and colds, but
the dry, hacking cough entirely disap-
peared. We attribute these satisfa0to-
ry results wholly to the use of salt gar
gle, and most cordially recommend Il
trial of it to those who are subject to
diseases of the throat. Many persons
who have never tried the salt gargle
have the impression that it is unpleas-
ant, but after IA few days use no per
son who loves a nice, clean mouth aud
irst-rate sharpener Of the appetite,
will abandon Tx.
