A Remedy fur Diphtheria.
At a meeting of the Rrooklyu board
of aldermen, on Monday a 'teriioou, a
communication, was received from a
lady in Willianisport, which the
Herald printed. She said that she
was the mother of six children, ull of
whom had been utliicted with the
dreaded disease and were cured by the
following remedy: "Take a slice of
fat bacon side meat tiie older the
better; sew it on a soft piece of flannel;
then saturate it with coal (petroleum)
oil. Place it on the neck, having the
meat reach from ear to ear. After
pounding several raw onions into a
poultice place enough of the same into
tiie patient's stockings to cover the
soles of the feet, und have the patient
put the stockings on. The poultice
must be warm in order not to chili
the patients. The throat should then
be gargled with some tomato catsup
strong with red pepper, salt and vine
gar, or pepper.salt and vinegar shuken
well together will do. If the putienl
is too young to gargle wet the throat
with a few drops. If vomiting oc
curs lime water purchased at a drug
store with directions should be given.
Be sure to cause an irritation on the
neck."

Eugene, between 3 und 4 years ol

at Rear Creek, just escaped drowning
on Friday afternoon last, and at the
same time displayed wonderful pres
ence of mind for one of Irs tender
years. , Falling through an air hole In
tiie ice, where the current was very
strong, the little fello.v caught hold of
a log ut the bottom of the creek while
his father who, fortunately discovered
the son's perilous position, ran a dis
tance of an hundred yards or more.
Mr. Rhines reached the place just in
time to save the boy, for h id his hold
on the log failed the child would have
been carried by the current a distance
of several rods under Ice a foot thick
before ho could have been rescued.
The murks of the little fellow's fingers
were jilui nly discernible on the log,
where the current had tried in vain to
wash hi ni loose. After the rescue the
child made a few gasps, and in a few
minutes was enabled to speak. An
other curious thing lie had resolutely
kept ills mouth closed. The accident
occurred in the Clarion river between
the bridge and dam at Bear Creek.
In 1874 Mr. Rhines lost a son aged
abvut sevsu years by drowning.
