la for Labor World Readers. i.
The Labor World is this week in
, receipt Of a letter frN,l a*friend who
! is missionary for the United Society
of Christian Endeavor for China, in
! which was enclosed a. formula; of
treatment for tuberculosis which. Is
largely used in the Orient. The. let
ter states: ..
am sending you remedy which.
has been very highly recommended
and which We know to have effected
some remarkable cures. On March,
13, 1911, we were at a mission static
where a Scotch missionary was in a.
very serious state. He had about
given up hope of his own recemmen-
dation and his poor wife was discon-.
/ solate. We gave them this remedy
and The faithfully took it. Last
Christmas he came to Shanghai, and
the same doctors who formerly gave
him up pronounced him a we'll man.
"He took the treatment without the
! doctors knowledge as they so often.
objected to simple remedies. They
told this man they did not - know
how to account: for the change, but
he said to us, We know what did"it.'
# sincerely trust that it, may be
! Of use to readers of your paper SO
! I am enclosing. it to you.". r:.".1 (,

1t has been the policy of The
Labor World to refuse all patent
medicine advertisements Of: a :cure-al1
character. However, this is not an
advertisement. It is so simple and
so appealing that We cheerfuly print
the formula in this issMe for the
benefit of our readers. 1t is cheap;
easy, simple and certain. >~:
It is now admitted almost :univer-
sally that consumption Cor tubercu-.
! losis) is germ disease. '..
: Find, then the germicide which will
not be detrimental to the patient,
and we have the initial stage of the
; remedy.
Such germicide is within the reach
of all. The chemical action of SUI
phur Gin tn eform Of milk Of sul=
phur) and glycerine is death to the
tubercle bacillus. ::
The theory of cure is this:
CD Kill the disease germ. .*>.
CD Heal the lung Cor other part
affected.)
(3) Give tone to the weakened sys-
tenn.
60 Build up the physical. frame.
To Kill the Disease Germ. :.
Give milk Of sulphur, Sulphur
lac). Dose: Usually about half tea
spoonful, mixed with glycerine to a.
cream; add enough milk to make it
easily Swallowed In some cases so
| much given at once might be re-
jected; give in such cases the full
dose, but in portions, waiting betweean
EACH A doser to be given daily for
two or three days; after that allow
an interval Of one, two, ,~or three days,
between each dose; until, cure is es-'.
tablished. :.'.'; " ::'
To>Heal the Lung or: Other Part; >>
Give good linseed tea, the linseed
being we'll boiled with plenty of loaf
sugar to a. not too thick, jelly. (Table-
spoonful of linseed to nearly a. quart
Of water, boiled well, not simmered).
Several tumblers day, and in ex-
treme cases, hot rather than: cold
Should be freshly made each day.
To Give Tone to the Weakened System
Liquid Extract of Red Quill Bark
Cred cinchona bark), B. P. Strength.
Liquid extract, not Tincture. Dose: 3
to drops in a little water, once,
twice orthrice a day, as is found to
suit patient. Too much will cause
headache, and if this occurs, discon-
tinue till headache passes off and be-
gin again with smaller dose. -:
Build Up the Physical Frame.
Well-prepared, simple, nourishing:
foods. Milk puddings, often prefer
red without eggs; beef tea, soups,
meat, fish, fresh, nicely cooked vege-
tables, ripe fruit in liberal measure.
These simple remedies may and
must all 60 on together, one will not
interfere with the other.
An entire bath is of great service,
as it frees the skin from impurities
and enables it to perform it's func-
ton. When emaciation and great
weakness are too great for patient to
be placed In bath, give instead, a
sort of pack bath. Spread a water
proof sheet over bed, wiring cotton
sheet out of hot water, wrap patient
gently in. it and fold round. two or
three blankets. He may remain in
this pack for half an hour. On com,
ing out, wash over very rapidly ard
gently and rub dry, care being taken
not to expose larger surface Of
body than can be sponaed and dried
at once. Warmly cover each. part
as finished, till whole is completed.
The Importance of abundant. fresh
air connot be over estimates. ":~:,
Where vitality is very low and
strength feeble, oxygen gas often
restores the powers, rallies the
strength and enables. the system to
assimilate both food and medicine.
Kill time,* and it will kill you.
