CORK FOR DIPHTHERIA.
A correspondent of a Victoria, V. I.
paper writes: “Should you or any of
your family be attacked with diphthe
ria do not be alarmed, as it is easily
and speedily cured without a doctor.
When it was raging in England a few
years ago, I accompanied Dr. Field on
uis rounds to witness the so-called
“wonderful cures” he performed, while
the patients of others were dropping
on all sides. The remedy, to be so
rapid, must be simple. All he took
with him was powder of sulphur and a
quill, and with these he cured every
patient without exception. He put a
teaspoonful of flour of brimstone into
a wine glass of water, and stirred it
with his finger, instead of a spoon, as
the sulphur does not readily amalga
mito with water. When the sulphur
was well mixed he gave it as a gargle,
and in ten minutes the patient was out
of danger. Brimstone kills every
species oi fungus in man, beast and
plant in a few minutes Instead of
spitting out the gargle, he recommen
ded the swallowing of it. In extreme
cases, in which he had been called
just in the nick of time, when the fun
gus was too nearly clo.sed to allow the
gargling, he blew the sulphur through
a quill into the throat, and after the
fungus had shrunk to allow of it, then
the gargling. He never lost a patient
from diphtheria. If a patient cannot
gargle, take a live coal, put it on a
shovel, and sprinkle a spoonful or two
of flour brimstone at a time upon it;
let the suflerer nhale it, holding the
head over it, and the fungus will die. If
plentifully used, the whole room may
bo filled almost to suffocation; the
patient can walk about it, inhaling the
lumes, with doors and windows shut.
The mode of fumigating a room with
sulphur has often cured most violent
attacks of cold in the head, chest, etc.,
at any time, and is recommended in
cases of consumption and asthma.
TRAINING COLTS.
1 would not let them grow to the
age of I wo, three or four years before
commencing to break them—for this
is the term we must use if we let them
go until that period—but would begin
while the colt is following its dam, as
the terms training or educating can
t hen be substituted. I would begin
very mildly with them, yet firmly. l)o
not undertake to make them do any
thing unreasonable, or which they can
not be made to understand, but when
anything is commenced, persevere
firmly until the end is accomplished.
Always, so far as possible, avoid
harsh treatment in training young
colts. Do not excite their fears, but
rather calm them by not getting ex
cited yourself, always using the same
-mo of voico, letting them know that
you are their friend—in this way you
will soon be able to manage them and
control them just as you like. Per
haps teaching them to lead with the
halter, in connection with what I have
said, would be about all that hood be
attempted the first year. From that
time forward I would train them in
their education as convenience would
permit.
i would not have it understood that
colts should not be petted and played
with, lor I consider that there is a
wide difference between proper dis
cipline and fooling and playing with
them and letting them do about as
they have a mind to. These early les
sons are of great importance, for it is
with colts as it is with boys, “as the
twig is bent,, the tree’s inclined.”—C.

THE MILmTuRF.
Considerable has been said in medi
cal journals concerning the value of
milk as a remedial agent in certain
diseases. An interesting article upon
this subject lately appeal’d in the Lon
don Milk Journal, in which it is stated,
on authority of Dr. Benjamin Clarke,
that in the East Indies warm milk is
used to a great extent as a specific for
diarrhoea. A pint, every four hours,
will check the most violent diarrhoea,
stomach ache, incipient cholera and
dysentery. The milk should never be
boiled, but only heated sufficiently to
be agreeably warm, not too hot to
drink. Milk which has been boiled is
not fit for use. The writer gives seve
ral instances to show the value of this
simple substance in arresting this dis
ease. Another writer in the same
journal says. “Wo have also lately
tested the value of milk in scarlet
lever, and learn that it is now recoin
mended by the medical faculty in all
eases o! this olten very distressing
children’s disease. Give all the milk
the patient will take comfortably, even
during t.ho period of the greatest fever.
It keeps up Lho strength of the patient,
acts well upon the stomach, and is in
every way a blessed thing in this sick
ness. Parents, remember it, and do
not fear to give it if your dear oner
are afflicted with the disease.”
lOimVUMWAY HA'iS.
A lady writer, in a recent number oi
a New York journal, discourses in tlie
following style her treatment of rats
and mice: “Wo cleaned our premises
of the detestable vermin by making a
whitewash yellow with copperas, and
covering the stones and rafters of the
cellar with a thick coating of it. In
every crevice where a rat might tread,
we put crystals of the copperas, and
scattered the same in the corners oi
the floor. The result was a perfect
stampede of rats and mice. Since
that time not a footfall of either rats
or mouse has been heard about tin
house. Every spring a coat of tin
yellowish wash is given to the cellar as
a purifier, sis well as a rat extermina
tor, and no typhoid, dysentery, or
fever attacks the family. Many per
sous deliberately attract all the rats in
the neighborhood by leaving fruits
and vegetables uncovered in the cellar;
:md sometimes even the soap scraps
are left open for their regalement.
Cover up everything eatable in the
cellar and pantry, and you will soon
starve them out. These precautions,
joined in the service of i good cat, will
prove as good a rat exterminator as
the chemist can provide. Wo never
would allow rats to be poisoned in our
dwelling; they are so liable to die in
the wall, and produce much annoy
auce.
To kill worms in flower pots, put tin
drops of carbolic ticul in a pint of wa
ter, saturate the earth in the pots with
it,, and it will act like a charm, kill the
worms, and the plants will thrive.
BLACKBERRIES A PROFITABLE CROP
for Georgia.
Under this head, the Chronicle and
Constitutionalist has the following on
this subject:
Last year a portion of North Caro
lina, and particularly about Salem, did
a thriving business by shipping dried
blackberries to Chicago, a firm in that
city having offered fifteen, cent? per
pound for them in any quantity. It
cost one cent a pound to carry these
berries from Salem to Chicago, and
hence the Salem merchants could af
ford to pay the country people from
seven to twelve cents a pound for them.
The little town of Salem, with scarcely
over 2,000 inhabitants, shipped during
three years over three millions of
pounds of dried blackberries, for which
it received $450,000, or nearly half a
million of dollars, equal to nine thou
sand bales of cotton at ten cents per
pound.
The crop is, of course, abundant—
almost infinite. The old fields literal
ly swarm with the busy pickers during
the season. Frequently whole fami
lies turn out at early dawn and pick
blackberries till dark. A bushel of
berries will yield twelve pounds of
dried fruit. At 15 cents per pound,
this will make the fruit worth $1 80 a
bushel. It is estimated that it costs
two cents per pound to dry the fruit.
It is dried in tbs simplest manner,
being simply spread out on boards and
left in the sun. The smallest child in
the family can watch the berries as
they are drying, and carry them
through the whole process. Deduct
for the gross cost one cent per pound
for freight, two cents for drying, and
say two cents for the merchant’s profits
and we have the net revenue of a
bushel of berries to the pickar, and
fixed at $1 20. A child can easily
pick a bushel a day. A laborer witn
five or six children, or a widow with a
lot of bairns, will find it a perfect God
send to have them each bringing in a
revenue of $1 20 a day.
The merchants in Salem had unlimi
ted orders for the berries, and could
have sold ten times the quantity they
were able to procure. The berries are
used for pies, for eating and for dis
tilling purposes. They are exported
regularly to Europe; aud especially to
Germany, where they are considered a
great luxury.
This trade gave employment to a
large number of people in North Caro
lina during the season last yerr. Men,
women and children support them
selves by it.
The section about Augusta is famous
for its blackberries and we see no rea
son why the trade could not be made
as profitable here as in North Carolina.
The Burlington Hawkeye solemnly
states that, the other day, one of its
editors cut out of an Eastern paper a
map of the Russians war, and hung it
on a hook for reference. One of the
compositors, prowling about for copy,
got hold of it, thought it was an edi
torial article, and set up a column and
a half on ‘A New Plan for Funding
the National Debt,’ before the foreman
discovered what he was at and killed
him
VEGETINE
Strikes at the root of disease by purifying the
blood, restoring tlio liver and kidneys to healthy
action, invigorating the nervous system.
Vegetine
Is not a vile, nauseous compound, which simply
purges the bowels, hut a safe, pleasant remedy
which is sure to purify the blood, and thereby
restore the health.
Vegetine
is now prescribed in eases of Scrofula and other
diseases of tiro blood, by many of the best phy
sicians, owing to its great success in curing all
disoases of this nature.
Vegetine
Does not deceive invalids into false hopes by
purging and creating a fictitious appetite, but
assists nature in clearing and purifying the
whole system, leading the patient gradually to
perfect health.
Vegetine
Was looked upon ns an experiment for some
time by some of our best physicians, but those
most incredulous in regard to its merit are now
its most ardent friends and supporters.
Vegetine
Says a Boston physician, “lias no equal as a
blood purifier. Hearing of its many wonderful
cures, after all other remedies had failed, I vis
ited tiio laboratory and convinced myself of its
gentiiiio merit, it is prepared from barks, roots
and herbs, each of which is highly effective, and
they aro compounded in such a'manner as to
produco astonishing results.”
Vegetine
Is acknowledged and recommended by plijsi
eians and apothecaries to he the best puritier
and cleanser of the blood yet discovered, aud
thousands speak in its praise who have been
restored to health.

Dear Sir—About one year since I found myself
in a feeble condition from general debility.

tinued its y.se. I feel quite confident that there
is no medicine superior to it for those complaints
for which it is especially prepared, and would
cheerfully recommend it to those who feel that
they need something to. restore them to perfect
health. Respectfully yours,

General Debility, and for Purifying the
Blood.
This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives Stiliingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock —with the lodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully com
bined, that the full alterative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the superiority of this Sar
saparilla over every other alterative
medicine. So generally is its superi
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
