SMALLPOX CURES!
mrs. Eunlce Dale Hands US the Following
Cures for Smallpox Which We Print
for the Benefit of Our Readers.

When Jenper discovered COW pox in
England, the world of science hurled All
avalanche of fame upon his head, but
when the most scientific school of
medicine in the world-that at Paris
published the recipe as panacea for
small pox, it passed UNDECIDED. 1t is as
unfailing as fate, and conquers in every
instance. 1t is harmless when taken by
we'll person. 1t will also cure scarlet
fever, here it is as have used it, to cure
the smallpox; when learned physicians
said the patient must die, it cured: Sui
phate Of zinc one grain; foxgloye (digi-
talis) one grain; half teaspoon full of
sugar; mix with two tablespoonfuls of
water. When thoroughly mixed, add
four ounces of water. Take spoonful
every hour. Either disease will disap-
pear in twelve hours. For child,
smaller doses, according to age.-If
counties would compel their physicians
to use this, there would be no use for
pest houses. If you value advice and
experience use this for that terrible dis
ease.
***
81 am willing to risk my reputation as
a public man," wrote Edward Hine, of
the Liverpool Mercury, if the worst case
of smallpox cannot be cured in three
days simply by the use of cream Of
tartar. Ounce of cream of tartar dis.
solved in pint of water, drank at
intervals, when cold, is certain never

CATHOLIC SISTERS
Have Cure For Smallpox Said Never to
Have Failed.

Have Cure For Smallpox Said Never to
Have Failed.
The sisters in charge of st. Joseph's
Female Orphan Asylum, at Seventh and
Spruce streets, are in receipt of many
letters daily from persons who seek in.
formation concerning the preparation
which is believed by the Sisters to be a
preventive against smallpox and all
other contagious diseases. A few ply.
sicians are among the inquirers, small
proportion of these having decided to
try the medicine.
"These drugs haye been in use by us
for 60 years." said one of the sisters yes
terday. SIN all that time we have not
had one case of smallpox in our institu.
ton. The prescription was obtained by
Mother Gongaza more than 60 years ago
from minister in Germantown. He
got 1t from doctor in Paris, who had
used it with great success during an cpl
demic Of small pox there,
''The prescription is one grain solid
extract digitalis, one grain sulphate OF
zinc, one half teaspoonful of sugar, four
ounces of water. Dissolve the digitalis
and the zinc separately, then compound
the prescription.
est is of the utmost Importance that
the solid extract of digitalis be used.
Some druggists say there is no such
thing, and use the liquid preparation.
This is valueess. 1t does not produce
the same results.
''The dose is one teaspoonful every
hour for IL consecutive hours for an
adult. For an infant, 10 drops for the
same length of time, and for children
under 10 years, one half teaspoonful
hourly for IL hours.
"We usually repeat this treatment
once month when smallpox is epi
demic. 1t is the best medicine, We
think, in cases of smallpox. The fact
may be bathed with it, thus preventins
scars. I know of one case in which {
man sent for the medicine, as his wifi,
had smallpox. She took it all night
the eruptions having almost disappeared
in the morning.
"The digitalis kills the germs of con
tagious disease that may be in the sys
tenn. The zinc purifies the blood. Some
doctors object to the digitalis, becaus,
it acts on the heart. OF course, tn,
preparation must be taken with care, al
the medicines are powerful.
Some people complain that it make
them sick. This is because their sys
TENS are not in good condition.

please. It will be useless, however, i

How Strauss Once Snubbed . Rus.
sian Court Disnitary.
When Johann Strauss took his or
chestra to Russia, he had some unusu-
al experiences not generally vouchsaf-
ed to those who live outside an auto
cratic government.
One day he received the czarina's
commands to play before her at her
summer resort and was told, on arriv-
ing there, that he would have to re-
hearse his programme three times be-
fore the performance. He begged to
know the reason for that, but no ex-
PLANTATION was given him. These were
her majesty's orders, and he could only
comply. Still, his establishment grew
when he saw during the three rehear-
sails an empty court carriage drawn by
a pair of horses slowly going back and
forth in front of his orchestra.
Throughout the final performance
the mysterious act was explained. The
empress. having sharp attack of govt.
was obliged to recline In the carria sc,
her foot on a cushion, while the con-
CcTl tOOh pidCti uuu tuC opJCSe VI iC-
hearsal had been to accustem the
horses to full string band lest they
should take fright and bolt with her.
At the end of the performance an ex-
altad dignitary of the court babe
Strauss follow him to a splendid grand
piano, saying:
NOW be good enough to play me all
the newest Vienna music"
Although he was pretty fatlgued by
his three rehearsals and state perform
ance, Strauss thought 1t expedient to
comply, but after he had played con.
tinuously for over an hour he stopped.

TO TALK OR NOT TO TALK9
IL Silence Golden OF IL II Foolish
and Unsocialf

IL silence Golden OF IL II Foolish
and Unsocials
Is the old figure Of golden silence"
being washed away in the food Of
twentieth century volubility? And Is
1t right that 1t should be SO washed
away? We do not know the answers
to these questions. Perhaps you, gen.
tie reader, know and will tell. We do
know that there is a good deal more
talk in the world than would have been
considered strictly necessary by our
forbears. If you don't believe this, go
to the nearest library and ask to see
the bound volumes of The Compression
al Record. You might also take along
certificate of sanity in case the libra
rian became alarmed at the request.
The old timers used to tell the youth
of the land to consider II what they
were about to say were not only true
and tried" but also necessary" The
idea held for quite time that it was
as reprehensible to waste words as to
dissipate wealth.
Our old friend Montaigne, however,
had tender place in his heart for the
talker. He declared, ''The most nat
ural and fruitful exercise of the mind
is conversation, and find the use Of 1t
more sweet than any other action in
life."
In some quarters members Of the fem
mime sex are credited with an indorse-
ment Of Mr.. Montaigne's sentiment.
Is 1t wise to talk much? Or is 1t fool
ish? Is silence golden? Or is it unso-
cial and therefore against civilization?
