A Cure for Diphtheria. Correspondent of the Baltimore an writes. in the. following confi dent strain: The following is said to be-an almost certain cure for that terible scourge, 'diphtheria.' Tf it should save some dear child, or even one of larger growth and more mature years, I shall be more than " compensated for the little trouble to which I have been sub jedted in preparing it for the your journal. Should you or any of your fam ily be attapked with diptheria, be not alarmed, as it easily and speed ily cured withont a doctor. When it was raging in England, I accom panied Doctor Field on his rounds to witness the so called "wonder ful cures" he perfomed, while the patients of .others were dropping on all sides. The remedy to be rapid nust be simple. All ie took with him was powder of F1111)11111 and a quill, and with these he cur ed ever'y patient without (eet ion. He put a spoonful of flour of brimstone into a wine glass full of water, and stirred it witl his fin ger instead of a spoon, as the sul phur does not readily amalgamate with water. When the sulphur Mixed be gave it as a garole and in ten minutes the patient was out of danger. Brimstone kills every specie of fungus in n11n, b enst and plant in a few minutes. In ex treme cascs, il which he lad been Oalled just inl the nick of ti.e0, when the fungus was too nearlyV closed to allow the gargling, he )leW the -sulphur through ajuilI in1t( the throat, and after the fun gus had shrank to allow of ittlhen the gargling. -He tiever I'mt a tient of (iphfitheria. If a ptient canit o argle. take a live coal, put it onl a sho0vel anld thlen aSprinikle a. spoonful or two of lour of, brim stone at a time uipon it, let the sttforeri ihiule it, an d t b fu'igus will (lie. If plentifully use(d tie whole room ia v be filled to suffo cation: the patient can walk about in it, in' - lin the fumes, with doors andn windows shut.. 'I'h mode of fumigating a room with sulphur has often' cured most vio lent attacks of colds in the head, chest, etc., at any time, and is re commendedl in cases of consumpI tion andi asthima."

The lady immediately assailed him with the ferosity ofa tigress and ejected him from the house in quite a number of seconds less than no time at all. As the man tumbled down the steps onto the sidewalk he was gobbled up b~y a pl)Oiceman and promptly marched off to the cooler. -iThie next morning several of her friends called aud congrat ulated her upon the heroism dis played in throwing a full grown burglar out of the house.
