PNEUMONIA CURE.
Simple Remedy Which Is Highly
Successful.


In view Of the prevalence Of pneu-
monia to such an alarming extent
and the many deaths resulting there
from, the REFLECTOR prints the fol-
lowing simple remedy which was
taken from the Worlds Progress, a
Boston publication;
Take six to ten onions, according
to size, and chop fine, put In q large
spider over a hot fire; then add about
the same quantity Of rye meal and
vinegar enough to make it a thick
paste.
In the meanwhile stir II thoroughly
letting it simmer five or ten minutes.
Then put in cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs and apply II to the
chest as hot as the patient can bear.
When II gets cool apply another and
thus continue by reheating the poul.
tice, In a few hours the patient will
be out Of danger.
This simple remedy has never
failed in this too often fatal malady.
Usually three or four applications
will be sufficient, but continue always
until perspiration starts freely from
the chest.
This simple remedy was formu.
many years ago by one Of the best
physicians New England has ever
known, who never lost a patient BY
this disease, and won his renown by
saving persons by simple remedies
after the best medical talent had pro-
nounced their case hopeless.
Personally, we know Of three per-
sons who we're saved by the remedy
last winter In Boston after their ply
sicians had given them up to die;
and II record was made Of all SINH
lar cases during the last six years, II
would fill a good-sized volume.

THOSE republican editors who are
advocating a removal Of the tariff on
paper, because the paper trust has
raised the price of paper outrageously,
should, to be consistent, advocate the
removal Of the tariff on every article
ON which prices have beeu raised by
any cause. This would include all the
products Of mines, including coal, and
about everything else we have to buy.

We would not throw stone in the

show you that the railroads respect

fact that they reduced the rates on

bill was being considered by our legis-
