A Cure For Diphtheria.

r. Munich, proprietor of a drug
establishment in Leipzig, Saxony,
publishes in the Pharmacist, a medi-
cal paper, a remedy for diphtheria
which has had surprising success.
He urgently presses all physicians to
try ii for the benefit of all patients
suffering from the disease. and also
requests the press to publish it.
He says: My little daughter, z
years of age, has had diphtheria twice
within some weeks, with severe fever,
about los degrees Fsrerbeit. We
gave with great cce rect,ied oil
of turpentine toleum nae rectifcatum.)
Dose, one teaspoonfuI in The morning
and the same at evening.
Adults should take II tablespoon
full. Afterward drink S little luke
warm to aliay the burning in the
throat.
For children the second dose can
be mixed with milk, which will render
it easier to take.
The result is really marvellous. The
Inflammation of the abnormal diph-
theritic spots in the throat grows
lighter at the edges, and in this way
they gradually shrink until in twenty
four hours they disappear entirely,
leaving no sign.
To quiet the inflamed tonsils the
throat vas gargled at first every two
hours, and then every three hours,
with the following gargle: One
ounce chlorate of potash to forty
ounces distilled water.
This remedy has been used with
perfect satisfaction both by adults
and children, not one case ending
fatally. The Milwaukee Volksbla
quoted this remedy from the German
paper, and afterward received a le.tel
from q subscriber in Mitchell county
Iowa, saying that "a child in tn,
writer's family was attacked by diph
liberia, treated by local physicians
and died then four members of th,
same family were similarly attacked
treated by this remedy, an, / am hap

A CURIOUS FIND.
A Lot OF Indian Relics Found West Of
TOwn-Curi0us Evidences Of a
Prehistoric Race.

Pete Matthews, living west of town,
while blowing yesterday, turned up
what appeared to him a large jar, but
upon examination, the object was
found to be a roughly-made stone
vessel, which, when broken, revealed
a number of curious stone nipple
ments, ETC., inside. The implements
are wholly unlike any Indian or
mound builders relics, being of a
strange kind of stone, and of a very
peculiar shape. Mr.. Matthews, We
are informed, not caring for Indian
relics or curiosities, distributed the
most of the articles among his
friends. A few years ago, near the
place where the stone vessel was
found, a number of elegantly-made
arrows and arrow-heads, together
with a large rock bearing a curious
inscription, were discovered in an old
cavern, right in the rear of John
Bradley's barn-yard. 1t appears that
this place was a favorite hunting
ground for the ahorigines.
