most women find them too severe for

Diphtheria Cure.

Diphtheria has made its appearance
in Iowa unusually early this year. Dr.
W. A. Scott, of Pleasantville, has used
the following remedy with wonderful
success and very thoughtfully RECON-
mends it to fellow practitioners and the
public:
The years that pass only confirm me
in the fact that this is as near specific
in diphtheria as medical skill can reach.
1t don't fail if used in time and as di-
rected. ! use it successfully to this day.
The recipe can be filled at any drug
store, and used by any person without
danger:
Take 10 grains of permanganate of
potassium and mix with ounce of cold
water. AS soon as dissolved it must be
applied with rag or sponge mop or
swab To the whitish places in the tonsils,
and other parts that have the qiphtheria
membrane on. DO this very gently, but
thoroughly, every three hours until bet
ter; then every six hours until well. 1t
does not give pain, but is rather nau-
seOuS to the taste. Ii the tongue is
coated white | mix l drachm of ny
posulphite of soda and ) drops of oil
saSsafras in ounces of syrup made of
sugar and hot water, and give q tea
spoonful every one to three hours as
needed, when awake. If the tongue is
not coated white | mix 20 drops of tine
ture of phytolacca in ounces of cold
water and give teaspoOnful every one
to three hours as needed when awake.
The phytolacca is the common poke
| root Of the South, anu as it Loses its
strength by drying and age, the tinctGre
should be from the fresh root, or it is
| worthless.
1t is well to apply little sweet oil, Or
cosmOline to the outside of the throat
to protect from the action of the air, as
the patient must be protected from all
danger of getting chilled.
In the beginning of the disease in
mild gases, the above solution of per,
manganate of potassium is all l nse,
and all that is needed, as the disease is
local at first, but rapidly affects the
| whole system when seated. In the
sinking form of diphtheria this solu,
lion soon destroys all smell, and in every
case it destroys the diphtheria mem
brane Without leaving any bad effect
behind. - 49, -

man who is worthy of the fullest con
fidence and respect in the person of Mr..
7. j. Essington, the republican candi-
date for treasurer. Mr. Essington has
been resident of Audubon county for
many years and has won and retained
the respect OF his fellowmen. In the
capacity of private citizen or public of.
fetal he has been equally generous and
capable. Always good and working
republican, the party has no honor
which he does not deserve and in his
election party pride will be deeply graf
ified. In the neighborhood of his resi-.
de4ce and familiar acquaintance Mr.,
Essington has been frequently honored
by unanimous expressions of confidence,
which speaks in honest eulogy of his
worth a. Q neighbor and citizen, and

cans throughout the county will cooper
