The farmers are still complaining
about the dry weather and the much

of them have to go a distance to water
stock and get water for house use. Rev.
ii. Burgess preached at Liberty last Sun
day to a large audience, but owing to in
completion of the church the school
house was used, but was too small to ac-
comodate the crowd, and we fear it will
be quite q while before the church is
completed as there seems to be so much
contention among some of the people.
There will be a tray supper at the above
place the Second Saturday in December,
for the purpose of raising means to pay
off the indebtness of the church. We
trust a large crowd will be present and
help us along with their little mite. A
couple OF Italians passed through this
section lastSunday with two bears which
they exhibited at various points along

4 Cure for Diphtheria.

DR., Delthil, a French physician, says
that n sure cure for any ordinary case OF
diphthcria Is to utilize the vapors OF
liquid tar and turpentine so as 10 dis
solve the hbrinous eXudations that choke
up thc,throat and lead to such fatal re-
suits in that dreaded disease. DR.. Del
thil's process is simply this: He pours
equal parts OF turpentine and liquid tar
into a tin pan or cup and sets fire to the
mixture. A dense resinous smoke arises,
which ohscures the air of the room.
"The patient DR.. Delthil says, Gimme
diately seems to experience relief; the
choking ana rattle stop; the patient
falls into a slumber, and seems to inhale
the smoke with pleasure. The tibrinous
membrane soon becomes detached, and
the patient coughs up microbicides.
These, when caught in Il glass, may be
seen to dissolve in the smoke. In the
course Of three days afterward the pa
tent entirely RECEIVERS" This treatment
has been tested in new York recently,
and with gratifying results. 1t is based
on the theory that diphtheria is due to
the rapid multiplication of living fungi,
which are killed by the fumes of the tar
and turpentinc. Indeed, all successful
treatment of diphtheria is by the use Of
medicines which destroy low forms Of
insect life.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors- How a Cure
Was Effected,
"When five years old my little boy, had
s~crofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsapsrilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"
