CURE FOR DIPTHERIA
A lady reader has seen so many
cases of diptheria cured from using
the following, we feel that it should
be given to the public:
Take cup of tar, two tablespoons
turpentine and one-half cup vinegar.
Place patient in closed room. Pour
part of mixture over coals—must be
wood coals—and smoke patient with
same. It will always give relief.
