about it wherever | heard of case,
and never knew it to fail. You get a
ripe pineapple, squeeze out the Juice,
and let the patient swallow it. The
juice is OF so corrosive nature that
it will cut out the diphthera mucus.
and If you will take the fruit before
it is ripe and give the juice TO a
! person whose throat is we'll, it makes
the mucus membranes of his throat
sore. Among those who have tried
the cure on my recommendation /
may mention Francis j. Kenneth. the
Board of Trade man, whose children
were all down with diphtheria and
were all cured by this remedy" Mr..

! DIPHTHERIA AND GROUP CURE DE
TAILS OF A DANGEROUS CAsE-soME-
THING wHICHIS WORTH TRYING.
In report to the French Academy
OF Medicine, DR.. Delthell stated that
the vapors of liquid tar and turpen-
tine would dissolve the fibrinous ex-
halations which choke up the throat
in Group and diphtheria. He describes
the process thus:
Take equal parts (say two table
tar, put them into a tin pan or
cup and SET fire to the mixture.
taking care to have large pan
under it as a safeguard against
! fire. A dense resinous smoke arises,
making the room dark. The patient
Immediately seems to experience re-
lief; the choking and the rafting
stop; the patient falls into a slumbe
and seems to inhale the smoke with
pleasure. The fibrinous membrane
soon becomes detached, and the
patient coughs up microbiedes. These
when canght in a glass may be seen
to dissolve in smoke. In the course
of three or four days the patient en-
tirely recovers."
The above information has been
quite largely copied into the papers,
and with it the relief and cure Of
Ruth Lockwood, 9-year-old child,
who was dangerously ill with diph-
liberia, but the disease readily yielded
to the above mode of treatment, and
the child was cured. A case occurring
in Boston recently is worthy Of
note at this particular time, when the
two forms OF diseases are quite prev
alent. The facts in the case, in brief,
are as follows:
Jennie Brown, a child Of some
years of age, was dangerously sick
with diphtheria; her attending ply
stefan had no hopes of her recovery;
he declared to a person that out Of
the many cases under his treatment
three were beyond cure. and little
Jennie was one of that number. The
father Of the child had read of the
above treatment, and, on his own
responsibility that, too, without
the consultation of the attending
physician-he obtained the mixture,
taking two tablespoonfuls of each,
but he now considers that one of each
would have been sufficient, and there
would have been less danger of burn
ing the carpet, &c. The child was in
bed, breathing SO loud that it could
be heard all over the house; but as
soon as the tar and turpentine began
to burn she was relieved and breathed
quite freely, and soon commenced to
cough and raise; and to the fathers
surprise and delight she commenced
to gain from that moment. He follow
ed up this treatment for three nights,
the attending physicians approving
it, and the child to-day is well. The
other two children alluded to above
did not have this form of treatment,
and they are numbered with the dead.
This remedy may not be an infalli-
BILE cnre in all cases, and with all per-
sons, but surely it could do no harm
in cases that have been given up as
incurable by the medical men. The
father said that he would advise the
removal from the apartment where
this treatment is to be applied of all
articles that would be likely to be
injured by the smoke of the ingre-
dents, before setting fire to the mix |

Kenneth Bazemore had the good |
fortune to receive a small bottle of
Cholic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy |
whee three members Of his family |
were sick with dysentery. This one
small bottle cured them all and he
had some left which he gave to Geo.
w. Baker, prominent merchant of
the place, Lewiston, N. c., and it
cured him of the same complaint.
When troubled with dysentery, di-
arrhea. collie or cholera morbus give
this remedy trial and you will be
more then pleased with the result
The praise that naturally follows it's
introduction and use has made it
very popular. % and so cent bottles
