To Head Off Diphtheria.

The Scientific American gives this
receipt which the whole world ought to
know: At the first indication of diph-
liberia in the throat of child, make
the room close, take tin cup and put
into it quantity of tar and turpentine,
equal parts. Then hold the cup over a
fire so as to fill the room with fumes.
The little patient, on inhaling the
fumes, will cough up and spit out all
the membraneous matter, and the diph-
liberia will pass out. The fumes of the
tar and turpentine loosen the matter
in the throat, and thus affords relief
that often baff1ed the skill of physi-
clans.
