CURE FOR SMALL-POX.

Mr. ;R. S. Clarke, of Sydney, has handed us (Evening News) the followpanacea for the above dreadful scourge, taken from bis scrap book, and placed there about ten years ago :—A correspondent of the Stockton Herald (America) gives the following as a cure for small-pox: Cut this out for future reference—“ I herewith append a receipt which has been used to my knowledge in hundreds of cases. It will prevent or cure the small-pox, even though the pittings are filling. When Jenner discovered the cow-pox in England, the world of science hurled an avalanche of fame on his head ■ but when the most scientific school of medicine in the world—that of Paris—published this receipt as a panacea for small-pox, it passed unheeded. It is unfailing as fate, and conquers in every instance. It is perfectly harmless when taken by a well person. It will also cure scarlet fever. Here is the receipt as I have used it, and cured many children of scarlet fever. Here it is as I have used it to cure the small-pox, when learned physicians said the patient must die :r— Sulphate of zinc, one grain j foxglove (di;>italis), one grain: one half a teaspoouful of sugar, mix with two lablespoonfnls of water. When the above has been thoroughly mixed, add four ounces of water. Take a teaspoonful every hour. Either disease will disappear in 12 hours. Eor a child, smaller doses according to age. tr. O O If counties would compel physicians to use this, there would be no need of pest houses. If you value advice and experience, use this for that terrible scourge.”
