Cut this out and keep it: The
Scientific American gives this
recipe which the whole world
should know At the first indi-
cations of diphtheria in the
throat make the room close, then
take a tin cup and pour into it an
equal quantity of tar and turpen-
tine. then hold the cup over the
fire so as to fill the room with
fumes. The patient on inhaling
the fumes, will cough out the
membraneous matter and diph
liberia will pass off. The fumes
of the tar and turpentine loosen
the throat and thus afford the
relief that has baff1ed the skill of
physicians.

know what they were bidding on.

afterwards he SAID :
1.-The simple question before
the Court was, could that con-
vention, after putting ticket in
the field. turn around and nomin
ate what is called the Electors
Democratic ticket The ques-
ton as presented to the Court
was that this was a fraud on the
people and done for the purpose
of deceiying the electors of the
county. These facts were pre-
sented by the plaintiff praying
an injunction restraining the
Auditor from printing the second
ticket on the ballot, it being a
fraud. The Court decided the
Auditor had no legal right to
print the second ticket on the
ballot, as the SO doing is viola
ton of the spirit and substance
