EDITORS DAILY REVIEW During the
past few weeks I have read of the ravages of
diphtheria in one family at least in Towanda,
also of other cases in and about your busy
little town; also read an account of the "sul
phur treatment" In the REVIEW. 1 wish in
this letter to advance a few ideas as to the
best mode of treatment employed by myself
and other physicians in this city. Though we
have no cases here now, we employed our
plan most successfully last season. Make
a fresh tincture of Phytolacca deeandria,
or poke root, by maceration—ls drops
in a half glass of water. Dose, a tes
spoonful, alternately, with the same quanti
ty of baptesia, or wild indigo, specific tinc
ture, every hour, or two hours, according to
the amount of redness or swelling of the
tonsils or throat. Give these remedies from
the insipieucy of the di>ease, and continue
till the membrane has all disappeared, and
no sign is left of its returning. In the ca
tarihal form, with discharges from the nos
trils, mix the baptesia and Phytolacca in one
goblet, and alternate with bichromite of po
tassa. Second decimal trituration, ten grains
dissolved in the same amount of water as
the tinctures, I most always mix the poke
root tincture and wild Indigo, from the start,
and alternate with the bichromite of potassa.
If the air passages seem to be filling with
mucus, 1 give the following decoction :
Blood root pulverized, a teaspoonful, vine
gar two or three table spoonfuls, white su
gar a half tea cupful, boiling water half pint;
boil for twenty minutes, stiring constantly:
Dose, a tea spoonful every half hour, till re
lief is obtained, which usually occurs in two
or three hours. If the bronchial rattling re
turns repeat the doses.
The croupous complicature without the
rattling is best met with Kali bichromic, nd
spongia tosta (toasted sponge tincture), live
drops in half glassful of water, alternated
with the pota'ssa, a tea spoonful hourly.
Quinino, in doses of two or four grains, ac
cording to age of patient, should be giyen
from jthe outset every t four oiq live hours,
to be continued till the conyolescence is well
established, and one dose per day, as long as
the heart shows any signs of fag. Pork in
thin slices should be kept bound over the
outside of the throat, and up under the cars
over the sides of the neck, throughout the pe
riods of swelling and exudation.
Do not apply any strong and irritating
gargles, or swabs to the throat. J f any gar
gle is used at all, take Tjldeti's Diphtbcriue*
one teaspoonful, to a glassful of water, and
allow a swallow lu rince the throat every
hour or two through the day. Let the pa
tients sleep as much as they will. Let the
diet bo as nourishing as possible- Milk and
good soup, and rare steak, of tender beef, if
patient is old enough to demand meat. Haw
oysters, or oyster soup can be given with
benefit. Do not fear you will over feed or
sustain a diphtheric patient. Any physicion
who will follow the plan herein laid down
will save nearly every patient he treats.
If a child complains of being tired and fe
verish and dull, when diphtheria is around,
examine the throat at once and give a few
doses of quinine and you may save a doctor's
nil I and perhaps the life of a dear one.
Respectfully,
M. M. BROWN.

LADIES BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION.—The
Ladies Benevolent Association will meet on
Wednesday afternoon, November 30th, at the
usual place.
The commencement of our winter's work
has been delayed this year by an empty trea
sury and lack of material for clothing. So it
has been necessary to defer our meeting un
til after the Thanksgiving collections, in order
to ascertain whether the people of Towanda
wish to continue this work of charity or not.
During the ten years of its existence this
society has been generously sustained and has
done an amount of good that we cannot mea
sure; but last spring our appeal for funds,
was only responded to by owe donation than
did not come from working members of the
Association; and it is feared that a misappre
hension exists in regard to the need of this
organization since the opening of the County
House. Indeed it lias been frequently re
marked: "We will not need the Benevolent
Society when we have the Poor House." But
our object and work have not been to sup
port paupers* only to render temporary as
sistance to those who arc able and willing to
support themselves—but who by sicknessT or
other misfortune are placed in circumstances
vvheic a little timelv aid lrom those more for
tunate will alleviate their suffering, and give
courage to some in a dark hour.
I lie git titcst caic is always used in giving
aid and rarely have our visitors been impos
ed upon, and with such delicacy and tact
lia\e out ladies worked, that sometimes eve
the recipients have never known from what
source the much needed help came.
Surely the people of Towanda will never
allow this good work to die for the lack of
funds!
"He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth
unto the Hoid; and that which he hath given
will he pay him again." We can ask no bet
ter security; let us make the investment. liy
