CHARLTON GAN BE
SUCCESSFULLY
TREATED.
Man Experienced In Treatment
Of Dread Disease Says There
Is Hope for the Sick.

Reports from several points in
Southwest Louisiana Of the appear
anee Of Charlton among the stock;
mules. horses, cattle and hogs being
affected and resulting in great loss
to the farmers. Modern science has
made great strides during the past
century, but the scientific authorities
do not hold out much hope for the
curing Of an animal affected with
Charlton after the infection has set
in. For the most part the recon-
mendations and directions concern
ing Charlton look to the prevention of
the disease rather than the encour-
agement Of hope for its cure, says
the Daily States.
Nevertheless, among the farmers
Of the country may be found men
whose experience with Charlton among
stock has been extensive and who
give well authenticated accounts of
positive cures that have baen effect
ed. Among those who have had
such experience is Hon. P. 3. st.
Martin, a prominent citizen Of New
Orleans, with plantation interests on
the coast some miles above the city.
Reading Of the outbreak Of Charlton
in other sections Of Louisiana. Mr..
st. Martin favored this Office yester-
day with q copy Of The States Of
date July 6. 1899, in which he gives
an account of his success in saving
mules on his plantation during an
epidemic that year.
MI. st. Martins treatment, as re-
lated by him in the article in ques-
gion, was simple. entirely devoid Of
the brutal blistering, burning and
torturing Of the poor animal with va
rious powerful drugs and chemicals
which ignorance suggests, upon the
that the more circulating
the dose the greater the virtue it
possesses. Mr.. st. Martins treat
nent is as follows:
First, drench the animal internally
BY giving it a preparation Of plain
water and coal oil, the portion
being about three fingers of coal oil
n a pint of water. After that the
swelling is mopped with o mixture. of
lax seed oil and coal oil in the pro-
Of one-third fax seed oil to
,Wo-thirds coal oil.
In the article which was printed in
The States eleven years ago Mr.. st.
tells that out Of fifteen mules
IN his plantation suffering from char
ION and treated in the manner above
described, every n Of them recov-
red, although the loss elsewhere was
.rightful. The majority Of the mules
% treated were cured entirely by two
publications., while in one case, which
lad been aggravated by the applica- |
ion Of the old and more barbarous
Of treatment. it required
eyeral days to overcome the i'll eff :
ects of that treatment, but the an
was entirely cured in . few days. ,
he same treatment, the article fur
says, was equally effective when !
to cattle, many Of which were !
aved during that epidemic. \
For the benefit of our friends in !
le eharbon-infected district of f
9uthwest Louisiana The States +
ould add that Mr.. St. Martin is a
.ghly respected citizen of New Or b
ans, 8 gentleman Of character, ed g
,ation and fine intellectual and So g
a attainments, and his only desire =
this connection is to give bis fell =
W-men the benefit Of his own most
experience. He suggests
at II q section Of the State where
is plentiful the simple remedy
1ich he found 50 effective has the
ree-fold merit Of being inexpensive, z
Isolutely harmless and q positive m
eeife. d
