A DIPHTHERIA CURE.

The following, regarding the treat
ment of diphtheria, is published by
request and is said to be valuable
and inexpensive home treatment:
Sulphur is one of the most efFica-
cious and simple cures for diphtheria.
All that is needed is -four Of sulphur
and quill, and with these, it is said,
.Une 5iysirian cured every patient
without exception. He put teaspoon
full Of flour Of sulphur into a vine
glass of water, and stirred it with his
finger instead Of a spoon, the sulphur
not readily amalgamating with water.
When the sulphur was well mixed, the
physician gave it as a gargle, and in
ten minutes the patient was out Of
danger. Sulphur kills every species
of fungus in man, beast or plant in
few minutes. Instead Of splitting out
the gargle, the swallowing Of it is
recommended. In extreme cases in
which the above specialist had been
called in the nick of time, when the
fungus was too nearly closing to al
low the gargling, he blew sulphur
through quill into the throat, and
after the fungus had shrunken to allow
it, then gave the gargle.
