There is no doubt that the diphtheria in its
worst form is very prevalent in many cities
and small towns. At the same time, that
fact is no reason for frightening people out
of their wits, with every new case of sore
throat Even liberated sore throat is bad
enough, and no person would have that for
fun. Yet hundreds of persons are said to
have had diphtheria who only had severe
sore throat. The form of sore throat which
often passes for diphtheretc is what old
people call quinsy. "Putrid sore throat"
known long before diphtheria, was probably
form of diphtheria, and very dangerous.
An old hospital nurse in Boston, says: 1T
amt the clear cold of winter that lays people
up with colds, catarrh, and sore threats, and
lays the children low with diphthera; it's
the soft, pleasant, alternating with the wet,
slushy DAYS" This is very true, and ex-
plains why those troubles are not so prevail
ent this unusually soft rainy winter; the air
in fact, is laden with poisonous vapors
The first symptoms of true diphtheria are
much like those of heavy cold on the
lungs. There is fever, some stupor, and
difficulty in breathing. Very sharp pains
are often felt in the neck glands, Just below
the ear. The tongue is coated, the throat
and tonsils intiamed, little white spots
which increase and turn to dirty yellow or
brown color next appear, and a peculiar odor
totally unlike liberated sore throat is
noticeable. If the disease is of the black or
malignant type nothing out miracle can
restore the patients to their former good
health. Very many reliable people claim
to have cured severe cases of diphtheria
with Jobnson's Anodyne Lniment. Be- that
as it may, 1t is worth trying. because SO
easily used internally, dropped on sugar or
as a gargle, and bathing for external use.
We know from experience that it will cure
common sore throat In one night and
thousands of people claim that no remedy
known will relieve colds, catarrh, bronchitis
Group, etc, as promptly as the good old
Johnsons Llniment. If i. cures them, why

A NEW PROPELLER FOB sHIPs.-The new
water propelled ship Evolution, planned By
DR.. Walter III. Jackson, of New York, was
launched on Wednesday. The vessel is pro.
PEELED simply by discharsing water under
very high pressure IN submerged jets against
the water of foteton. The vessel ie fitted
with compound steel pumping engine,
which will deliver through nozzle about

thousand gallons of waterper minute, unoer
an enormous pressure exceeding ton 20

More than century ago James Rumsey,
of Virginia, made successful trial trip on

stream of water driven from the stern. and
David Ramsay in England, patented SIM

ment has since been repeated, 20 substantial
advantage has yet been discovered in the

GAZETTE.

The GAZETTE, chronologically,
is in the NINETIETH year of its ex-
'stence, and is Lot only the oldest
paper 10 the State, but, with few
exceptions, in the country.
Notwithstanding the fitness Of
its years, it has kept, and will con-
tinue to keep, abreast Of the times
IN all that pertains to NEWS paper,
furnishing its readers daily with
perfect mirror Of passing events,
domestic and foreign.
Its facilities for obtaining news
as they increase are taken advan.
tage Of and used for the benefit of
It's readers, who are thus kept
thoroughly posted as to all that is
of interest politically, socially, f.
nancially or commercially.
Special attention is given to mat
ters concerning the State and it's
welfare, while its local columns
contain all that is Of the slightest
interest to Alexandrians.
Its regular correspondence from
Washington and Richmond are fea-
lures Of peculiar interest, as attest.
ed by the eagerness with which
they are read and copied by other
papers, while its editorial depart
ment, conducted with reference to
the best interests Of the city, State
and country, will continue to adj
vocate what is believed to be right,
just, honest and patriotic.
With a view to the interest Of
merchants, farmers and all inter-
ested, It's commercial columns are
carefully edited and its market re-
ports are acknowledged by all to
be faithful and accurate.
Through all this section of the
State, and in all parts of the coun-
try where Virginians have located,
there will the GAZETTE generally
be found, and thus as an advertis.
ing medium it has few equals out
side the large cities.
In the household, counting room
and workshop it is an ever-welcome
visitor, acceptable alike to old and
young, the grave and the gay.
