REMEDY FOR GROUP.
Alleged Cures Effected by the Simple
Use of Sulphur.

Several papers of Paris have published
that DR.. Laugardierre of Toulouse had at
different times experimental with sue
cess with a new treatment of sure eff
cheney for the cure of that terrible disease
the Group. The new treatment consists
in the use of sulphur. DR.. Laugardierre
narrateS thus his first experiment in the
Paris Temps:
81 called for some sulphur powder, took
tablespoon of it, which / diluted in a
glass of water, ordering to drink one
tablespoonful of the mixture every hour,
shaking it before using. Next day the
child was better. New potion for the next
day. The following day the child was
cured"
After that cure the doctor obtained sew
eral others, but none more convincing
than the following;
"a little girl was dying; neither cry
nor the least sound could come from her
larynX; the pimples of diphtheria were
on her ears, neck, head and cheeks; her
wheeling breathing could be heard
twenty meters Oft. !"
The doctor had secured q probe to in
sufflate nitrate Of silver in the larynx.
The parents opposed that, but consented
to make the child swallow the sulphur
ated potion during the night.
ION the next day the child, which had
considered as lost, was resuscitated the
potion was continued during that day,
and the next day the child was cured"

COME TO GRIEF.
Chico Officers Capture a Couple ot
Burglars.
rChico Chronicle-Record. Inne aAl

[Chico Chronicle-Record, June 24.7
a few days ago a couple OF young fell
lows came to town and commenced a
from house to house canvass tor pianos
and organs to clean, asking but a small
sum as remuneration for their valuable
services. It appears that Hoffman and
Schoen have worked the city very thor
oughly, as the young fellows did not meet
with any great success in their quest for
pianos or organs to botch and mutilate.
Not being successful foragers as piano
and organ butchers they turned their at
tention to other methods of gathering in
the sheckels. This plan was none other
than shop-lifting.
About 3 o'clock yesterday morning
Officer Waite had his attention called by
seeing two men standing on the Hallet
corner, Main and Third streets. Shortly
one of them crossed over to Miller IL
Sawtell's store and entered by means of
the front doors, which were apparently
unlocked. The officer tripped nimbIy
across the street in his wake, and waited
patiently on the outside until his man
should make his temperance. When
he came out Officer Waite requested his
company to the City Hall. Arriving
there he was charged with burglary and
relieved Of the whisky which he had pur-
loined.
While Ned Tuck was making his
rounds yesterday morning he found Mil
Ter q SawtelPs till on Wall street, in front
of B. B. Bakers residence, and turned it
over to Waite.
Constable Peck began a search for the
second one of the burglars and succeeded
in locating him in the Bryan addition,
about noon yesterday. He was repairing
an organ for Mrs. Huff. The officer
waited until he put the organ together
and finished his work, and then informed
him that he was under arrest. All that
they got by their robbery was about so
cents, three bottles Of whisky and one or
two plugs Of tobacco. This little Doodle
may cost them long terms of imprison-
ment
