Cure for Smallpox.
Mobile, March IA, 1896.

To the Editor of the Times Democrat:
Seeing by the papers that your city is
in the clutches of that terrible scourge,
smallpox, / send this smallpox cure,
which you will use or not at your dis
cretion. 1t has been published repeat
edly have copied it, have cut it out,
etc, at different times, and have just
copied it for you. 1t is strange beyond
words to express that the people will
endure the presence of SO deadly, so
loathsome disease when it can so east
ly be prevented or cured. myself have
broken up scarlet fever in one day by
it's use.
SURE SMALLPOX REMEDY.
Il herewith append recipe which has
been used to my knowledge 10 hundreds
Of cases. 1t will prevent or cure the
smallpox, though the pittings are filling.
When Jenner discovered cOwp0x in
England the world OF science hurled an
avalanche OF fame upon his head !; but
when the most scientific school OF medi-
cine in the world-that of Paris-pub-
lished this recipe as a panacea for small
pox il passed unheeded. 1t is unfai.fng
as fate. and cODquers in every instShce.
1t is harmless when taken by a we+1 per-
sou. 1t will cure scarlet fever. Here is
the recipe as have used it and cured
my children of scarlet fever. Here it is
as have used it to cure smallpox.
When learned physicians said the pat
lent must die, it cured: Sulphate of
zinc, 1 grain; foxgiove (digitalis),
grain; half teaspoonful of sugar mixed
with two otablespoonfulso of water. When
thoroughly mixed add four ounces
(eight tabiespoonsfuD of water. Dose,
ore tablespoonful every hour. Either
disease will disappear in twelve hours.
For a small child, smaller doses, accord
ing to age. If countries would compel
their ply ysicians to use this, there would
be no need of pesthouses. If you value
advice or experience, use this for that
terrible disease"
Coming from as high scource as it
does, this recipe should certainly be pre-
served ia every household and given a
trial in case of necessity.
