FOR THE CURE OF THE DREADED SMALL
| POX.
Apropos of the excitement over the
smallpox we clip the following from a
Paris paper, being from celebrated
physician:
II herewith append recipe which
has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds of cases. 1t will prevent or
cure the smallpox though the pittings
are filling. When Jenner discovered
cowpox in England the world of
science hurled an avalanche of fame
upon his head, but when the most
scientific of medicine in the world
that of Paris-puLlished this recipe
as papacea for smallpox it passed
unheeded. 1t is as unfailing as fate,
and conquers in every instance. 1t is
harmless wnen taken by well per-
son. 1t will also cure scarlet fever.
Here is the recipe as / have used it,
and cured my children Of sca.let
fever; here it is as ! nave ued it to
cure smallpox: When learned physi-
clans said the patients must die, it
cured. Sulphate OF zinc, one grain
foxglove (digtati), one grain; half a
teaspoonful Of sugar; mix with two
tablespoonfuls OF water. When thor.
oughly mixed add four ounces of
water. Take Il spoonful every hour
Either disease will disappear in twelve
hours. For child smaller doses &C
corning W age.
