Cures Smallpox.

Tony Tubbs, general manager and superintendent of the Treadwell board ing houses, hands us the following cure for smallpox which he says he has used for six years, and although at times in the midst of the disease, he has never known it to fail:
 "One grain sulphate of zinc, one grain of foxglove-sometimes called digitalis; mix with two tablespoonfulls of water; when thoroughly mixed, add four ounces water. Take teaspoonful every hour for twelve hours"
 If the directions of this recipe are followed there will be no need of sore arms during smallpox epidemic. So asserts Mother Marie Joseph,a Sister of Charity, of St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum, in Philadelphia.
 Not only is the person who takes the mixture immune from smallpox, but it is even said to cure the disease in it's most violent stages, and, indeed, to create immunity to all contagious diseases.
 The efficacy of this medicine is at tested by the cures of the Sister and likewise by her predecessor, Mother Gonzaga. During the last few days large quantity of the medicine has been made by Mother Joseph and distributed to many applicants.
 "This is a substitute for vaccination, and will also cure any contagious dis eases" says Mother Mary Joseph, "We have 13O children in the asylum and none of them have been vaccinated. Three or four times year we give them this remedy, and we have never had case of contagious sickness in the house. On Saturday we made over eight gallons and today none of it re- mains. Hundreds of people have call ed, to each of whom we gave bottle of the remedy"
 It was during the epidemic of 1871 in this city that the remedy was first introduced by Mother Gonzaga, who was then in charge of St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum. It is said that she administered the remedy at that time with the most remarkable results. She disclamed all credit for the discovery, as she had received the recipe from Father Kendrick, of Germantown. He obtained it from French pysicician, who discovered it during the preva- lence of smallpox epidemic in Paris. When the prescription came into the hands of Mother Gonzaga, she set to work to give the public the benefit of it.
 Smallpox was then epidemic, and as the news of the remedy became known, thousands of applications were made for the specific, barrels of which were given away. Mother Gonzaga made and distributed as much as eighty gal Ions a day.
 During Mother Gonzaga's time the clergy heard of the specific and advised their parishioners to obtain the med icine. In one or two churches this ad- vice was given from the altar.

The Quarantine.

The action of the towns of Douglas and TreadweH in declaring quaran- tine against Juneau needs no explaina- tion in so far as the people of Douglas Island are concerned. However, our brethern of the Juneau press seem to think it hasty and unnecessary.
 To deny that smallpox exists in Ju- neau is preposterous. That it is under control, is also a doubtful statement. The number of cases has increased. The local quarantine regulations lave been lax and not properly carried out. For these things no one can be blamed, except the officers who have had the matter in charge. The number of re- ported cases has been as high as 3, and whether there are that many or not, justice to the people of Douglas Island demands that they be pro- tected. The officials of the city of Juneau have not given the proper pro- lection to their own people, and the officials of the municipalities on Doug las Island have a duty to perform, 10 matter what might be their personal feelings in the matter.
 Two big boarding houses at Tread we'll provide accommodations for 1000 men. If the dread disease were to gain a foothold there, the big mines and mills would be closed down, working an irreparable loss to the men and the company, besides the dangers resulting from the disease itself.
