The clipping reproduced herewith, bearing the caption “Cure for Pneu monia,” was received by mail a few days ago from an unknown friend in Timmonsville, who requested its publication in these columns. In view of the wide-spread epidemic of influ enza, with the attendant peril of pneu monia, the alleged cure is being pub lished. The editor of The People-Sen tinel cannot vouch for its infallibility and it would be well to submit the prescription to the family physician' before administering the treatment, which is as follows: One Quart Red Onions One Quart Vinegar One Guart Corn Meal. Cut, or break up the onions in aq>ot with the vinegar; place on the fire; when heated almost to boiling, stir in the cornmeal. This will make two poultices. Have ready two bags made of thin material, large enough to cover the region of the lungs. Place one poultice over the region of the lung affected. Hot—but not TOO hot.

C. 1- AS A PREVENTIVE Several times a day, insert Vicks up the nostrils. Also melt a little night and morning in a bowl of boiling water and inhale the steaming medicated vapors. This helps to ward off germ-infection. 2. IF A COLD STARTS If possible, go home and go to bed. Take a laxative and a hot lemonade. Apply hot, wet towels over throat and chest until the skin is thoroughly reddened. Then rub vigorously with Vicks. Spread on thickly and cover with warm flannel. Leave the bed-covering loose, so that the vapors, released, by the body-warmth, may be freely inhaled. At the same time, Vicks also acts through the skin like a poultice. Repeat this treatment every four hours, eat lightly, and stay in bed until the cold is broken. Complete rest helps the body throw off the cold more quickly. 3. AFTER A FLU ATTACK Death of Mrs. J. A.
