The Deer Isle Gazette has an article hy
well-known lady of Green's Landing ou la
grippe which, if read and practiced, might
save many lives. She has tried it in a
number of cases and several persons here
have done the same and with success every
time. 1t is simply to take the patient at
once and give him or her full mustard
bath with vigorous rubbing, two attend
ants working at once, and polish off with
coarse dry towels-a whole box of mus
tard and big tub of water, hot as can be
borne. and plunge in all over, except the
head, which may be bathed with cool or
cold water. 1t is so simple that people
won't always do it, but if taken at once it
is almost sure cure. Try it. somebody,
and report.
