Owing to the prevalence Of pneu-
monia and the great mortality which
attends its ravages during the winter
ard spring, several boards OF health
in northern New Jersey have been TAX
ing measures TO protect the citizens OF
their towns from the disease. The
health board Of Washington, N. J., has
published q remedy which Is said to
be q sure cure for pneumonia. and
other health boards are looking into
the matter with a view Of having the
same thing published for the good Of
the general public. This Is the pub
lication as II has appeared in the pa,
pers Of Washington:
Take six or ten onions, according
to size, and chop fine, put IN q large
spider over a hot Ere, then add the
same quantity of rye meal and vine
gar enough 10 form a thick paste. In
the meanwhile stir II thoroughly, let.

Then put In cotton bag large enough
TO cover the lungs and apply 10 chest
as hot as patient can bear. In about
ten minutes apply another, and thus
continue by reheating the poultices.
and in few hours the patient will be
out Of danger. This simple remedy
has never failed TO euro this too-often
fatal malady. Usually three or four
applications will be sufficient. but con-
tinue always until tho perspiration
starts freely from the chest. This rem
edy was formulated many years ago
by one OF the best physicians New
England has ever known. who never
lost patient by the disease, and won
his renown by simple remedies"
