Reputed Cure for Small Pox,

A correspondent of the Stockton, Cal,
Herald, writes as follows: 81 here
with append a recipe which has been used
to my knowledge in hundreds of cases. 1t
will prevent or cure the small poX though
the pittngs are filling. When Jenner
discovered COW pox in England, the
world of science hurled an avalanche Of
fame upon his head, hut when the most
scientific school of medicine in the world
that of Paris-publlshed this recipe rs Il
panacea for small poX, it passed unheeded
1t is as uniaillng as fate, and cOnquers
in every instance. 1t is harmless when
taken by Il well person. 1t will cure scar
let fever. Here is the recipe us | have
used it to cure smallpox when learned
physicians said the patient must die, it
cured: Sulphate of zinc, one grain fox
glove (digjtdlis), one grain; half tea
spoonful OF sugar mixed with two table
spoonfuls of water. When thoroughly
mixed, add four ounces of water. Take Il
spoonful every hour. Either disease will
disappear in twelve hours. For IA child,
smaller doses according to age. If coun.
tries would compel their physicians to use
this, there would be no need of pest
houses. If you value advice and expert
ence, use tins for that terrible disease"
