1t is always cause of regret when a good
man who has been faithfully for long time
doing good work determines to retire from
it, even though he can present good reasons
for so doing. A case in point is that of Mr..
Richard Mauzy, of Staunton. For years he
has been ably conducting the Spectator. one OF
the best printed, most conservative and ably
conducted newspapers in Virginia-day in and
day out it has been as true to the democratic
party and the interests of Virginia as the
needle to the pole. And now the faithful old
sentinel, who has stood at his post through
sunshine and storm, is Offering the newspaper
and job office of the Spectator-both well equip
ped-for sale, privately until the 9Th of june
and publicly on that day if a sale has not been
previously effected. Mr.. Mauzy gives as his
reasons need of rest from close confinement
and constant labor for great many years, and
impaired vision from age and too much read
ing late at night" We hope he will succeed
in finding worthy successor who will pay for
toe office all it is worth and maintain the we'll
earned high reputation of the paper.-Radford

SMALLPOX.
The Symptoms and Treatment, also Pre-
ventive, given by Physician who has had
Experience in the Treatment of Small
Pox for the Benefit of the Public.
SYMPTOMS.


At the end of 10 or IA days after being ex-
posed, the eruptive fever commences, with
severe pain in the back and head, with vomit-
ing and distressing pain at the pit of the
stomach. The patient is very drowsy and
sometimes delirious. On the third day after
the eruption it appears like fea-bites, first on
the face and limbs and gradually extending
all over the body. On the fourth or fifth day
of the eruption a small vesicle or blister hay
ing central depression is observed on the
top of each pustule. On the seventh and
eighth day of the eruption, these pustules,
instead of having a central depression or fiat
ness, are now filled up with thick yellow
matter. On the ninth and tenth day the
pustues burst, and scabbing commences over
the body, and at the 18th day scaling COM
mences At the end of IA or 10 days the
scales drop off clean from the surface, then
the patient is considered well. There are
always pits left in the skin after smallpox
for months and sometimes for years. This
disease differs in this respect from all others.
TREATMENT.
Sulphate of zinc 1 grain; digitalis, gram;
sulphur 80 grains; teaspoonful of sugar
mixed with tablespoonful of hot water
| Stir well, add 81 ounces of water. Take a
| teaspoonful every or hours and drink
freely of lemonade; also at the period of
scaling, apply strong lemonade all over the
body or times day to stop itching. Diet,
such as oatmeal, milk, rice, &c. Milk punch
can be given freely. This treatment destroys
the germ of the disease at least one-half,
therefore making it a safe and speedy cure
A little sulphur should be burned in the sick
room twice day. also around the house.
PREVENTIVE.
All persons should be yaccinated every
years.
During the exposure use of the above pre-
scription will prevent persons from taking
smallpox.
Do not eat any pork meat or grease after
being exposed. Light forms of smallpox are
termed distinct smallpox; heavy forms are
termed continent smallpox.
This treatment is also good for measles and
scarlet fever; also all eruptive diseases.
Sulphur and tar should be burned in diff
ferent parts of the city once a day. These
precautions will prevent the disease from
spreading.
