CURB FOR SMALL-COX. i An Old Recipe that ia Said to be An Infal- 4 Utile Cure. The following remedy for emall-pox and scarlet fever Is copied from an old scrap book and may prove valuable for both those dreadful diseases : "The fol lowing recipe for the cure of small-pox was published In a Kansas paper. The gentleman who handed it in for pub lication stated that he was in Kansas at the time small-pox was brought in from the Indian country by infected buffalo skins, and the remedy was ex tensively! tested with satisfactory re sults. We do not ordinarily put much faith In Infallible recipes, that at inter vals have extensive newspaper cur rency, but the evidence as to the effici ency of this remedy is so direct that it is dcservl'cg consideration. There are opKrtuuitles now for testing It. Will not some physician experiment with the recipe and give the result of the ex perience? I herewith append the re cipe, which has been used to my know ledge In hundreds of cases. It will prevent or cure the small-pox though the plttingsare filling. When Jenner discovered the cow-pox in England the world of science hurled an avalanche of fame upon bis head, but when the most scientific school in the world, that of Paris, published the recipe as a pana cea ror small-pox, it passed unheeded. It is at unfailing as fate, and conquers in ever, ji stance. It ia harmless when taken by a well person. It will also cure scarlet fever. Here Is the recipe as I have used it to cure my children of the scarlet fever. Here it is as I used it to cure small-iox. When learned physicians said the patient must die, I cured: Sulphate of Zinc, one grain; foxglove (digitalis), one grain; half a tcahpnotiful of sugar; mix with two tablespoonfuls of water. When tho roughly mixed, add four ounces of water. Take a spojuful every hour. Either disease will disappear in twelve hours. For a child, smaller doses, ac cording to ago. If cities would compel their physicians, there would be no use for pest houses. If you value advice and exjierionce, use this for those ter rible diseases." Ex. Cider a Preventative. To prevent small-Mx drink cider. This is the advice of Henry M. Doe liert, president of the Commonwealth Title Insurance and Trust Company, at 313 Chestnut street, Philadelphia. And Mr. Dechert practices what he preaches. The Trust Company employ es out a club dinner in the building every day and on the menu cider is a staple beverage. It was not added un til the mimll-pox e pidemic began and it was then added only to fortify the weak human system by tin? gener ous juice of the apple, more potent than that of grape in this cose, against the small-pox germ. Columbia Desk Calendar for 1002. This calendar bus been a fixture In many business ofllces and homes for many years, its great popularity being largely due to the thoroughness with whicli it serves its purpose at a memor andum device.
