Show I'are for Diphtheria. A gentleman of this city, a nonprofessional, non-professional, has prescribed for two families afflicted with diphtheria, and his remedy baa resulted in cures in both cases. In one of the families three children were afflicted with the terrible disease. The gentleman says when the symptoms appear the room in which the patient is kept should Le thoroughly fumigated with sulphur, the doora and windows being closed; put the patient in the room two or tbree timus a day, leaving him there half an hour. Tue theory is that the sulphurous tcid (unaes destroy the fiogii in the human hu-man body, as readily au they d. the fungit that attack vines and 1 plant. Large quantities of sulphur are used (or this purpwe in Europe. In the caae of the three children referred re-ferred to above, a cure was effected in forty-eight hours. Tbe gentleman also BuggeeU that the plate on which the sulphur is burned, be placed fur a few seconds near enough to the mouth of tbe patient to permit him to inhale the fume?. The remedy is certainly worth a trial. |
