A RECEPTION.

The great outpouring of people
to the reception given BENZ. W. Pat

Misses Bessie Goodner, Gay Chew,

Hampstead. Texas, February Cit
seems you were requested also to publish
this fake smallpox cure which has been
going the rounds OF the papers for more
than eighteen years. Nearly twenty
years ago / WAS smallpox physician In
Abilene, this state, we had the simon
pure article there. The remedy. zinc
sulphate, foxglove and sugar proved Oh
no utility. Many years practice s1bse-
auently in the Republic OF Mexico, where
we have the genuine article, has proven
10 me that the remedy Is a fake pure and
simple, though the foXglove is good
remedy In all febrlle diseases attended
with weak heart or pulse beats.
Sometimes the papers have this fake
remedy as being the recipe OF some pro-
lessor In a Paris medical college; some
times that OF some old sage who -four
ished even before the time OF Jenner.
This time Il Is credited TO some old
granny! / should prefer to shove this
Big yarn of on some populist and let lt

In conclusion WAL add that the So

this disease. IL is what we call In Mex
