SMALLPOX PREVENTIVE.

The vinegar treatment as a pre-
ventive against the contagion of
smallpox, discovered and intro
duced by DIR. G. +. Howe, county
health officer of .itchison, Kansas,
has passed the point of mere
theory and is now an established
fact, having been efficient in sew
eral hundred cases of exposure in
Atchlscn aud Atchlson county.
Many OF these exposures have
been the nurses, as we'll as many
9th 'rs that it was impossible to
isolate from the original case of
smallpox for the want of room.
In other words, anyone, vaccinated
or not, can nurse case of small
pox without fear of contracting
the dieease If, at the same time,
they use the vinegar in teaspoon.
full doses four times daily in half
cup OF water. 1t eau be taken in
less amount for small children OF
more by adults.
DIR. Howe advises the use of pure
cider vinegar only, rs all others
contain alcohol. Even after the
person exposed has run almost the
entire incubation period, the use
OF vinegar will either abort the
disease entirely, or modify it to
the extent Of having all the prod
romal symptoms without the dis.
figuring eruption. To get the i'm
mediate control Of "a smallpox epi-
demlc in "a community, every one
should take course of vinegar
for week, whether exposed or
not.
Dilute vinegar, applied locally,
will control the itching of small.
pox. A slippery.elm poul,ice ap-
piled TO the face while in the
vesicular stage will not only abort
the pustular stage, but prevent the
pit.ing. The poultice must not
be used until the vesicles have
formed.

for sope years with good effect.

Reconcilin6 Americana and Filipinos.
n MANILA, May 12.-Senor Buenca-
.mino, at one time q member Of the 90,
called Filipino republican cabinet, who
was recently liberated by General Otis,
announces that he has become recon.
ciled to American sovereignty and that
he will devote his influence to bringing
about peace. He has sent proposed
peace platform for the national Filipino
party to the insurgent leaders in Ma
Mia and to the insurgent generals, in
Guiding Aguinaldo, in the field.
+ This platform declares that it il i'm
possible for the Flipinos to exist as a
nation without tho protection Of the
United States and consequently they
must recognize American sovereignty
and strive to attain under a constitution
the utmost liberty possible. ,.,. =.
Continuing, Senior Buenoamino urges
that the Nlipinos are incapable of SELF
government. He says: - ..
"1n our independent government the
most predominant notes were abuse and
immoralities, the offsprings Of ignorance
and tho inherited vices Of Spain, by
which the Filipino regime was rem.
dered odious to our own people,"
Therefore, he contends, American
control is necessary to prevent civil
strife.
