ORIGINAL’ CORRESPONDENCE [We do not identify ourselves with the opinions that may be expressed by our correspondents.] CLYDE " FERRY. —o— I - , TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUKSTAN TIMES. Sir, —Would, you allow me to state that there is not the slightest foundation for the report that Maokersey and Co. were about to place a punt on the Molyneux at Clyde, the paragraph which appeared in . your last issue being the first intimation I had of the matter. I am, Sir, Your’s, &c., JOHN MAOKERSEY. Alexandra, April 2,'1872. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUNSTAX TIMES. Sir, I beg to hand you for publication a very simple remedy for Putrid sore throat I and Diptheria, taken from the American Chemist and Druggist Circular Gazette for January 1872. Thinking that such simple remedies can, not become too generally,and widely known. I am, &c , M. MARSHALL. GLYCERINE IN PUTRID SORE THROAT. “I have found this an invaluable remedy in putrid sore throat, as well as many other affections. Not long si'ce a case occurred, in which its healing properties were fully tested. The patient, a little girl, seven years of age, had been suffering several days before I saw her, and the various remedies employed had made no impression on the disease. As it was, with great difficulty and pain, she swallowed ; and, her pulse being very weak''and quick, it- was important that the remedy adopted should possess healing, nourishing, and antiseptic properties, and glycerine, possessing these properties, was administered in tablespoonful doses' every six hours. The first dose caused some smarting, the second less, and before the third there was an obvious improvement. The case was dismissed in three days. J. D. PALMER, M.D, Montiecllo, Florida. N.R. The above is from the American,. Journal of Pharmacy. ■ , ; ■ The editor of a Texas paper says: “The 0 facetious editor of the is engaged in a philosophical experiment to ascertain how large a falshood it is possible for a given number of words to express.” The result must, have been successful, as the firstnamed editor describes it as a double-barrel-ed whopper.” In Nelson, a child has died from the bite ; a spider. The Examiner narrates the cir- ' ciimstmce as follows; “As a lady was! visiting the bop gardens one day last week, ] carrying her infant, about five weeks old covered with a shawl the child suddenly! shrieked, and on moving the shawl a large, speckled spider was found by the child’s: hand. A fewhours afterwards tbesymptoras of a bite from a poisonous animal showed themselves, and notwithstanding, all the care, medical and otherwise, bestowed upon it, the poor infant died about three days afterwards, the symptoms of blood poisoning being very apparent.
