A CURE FOR SORE THROAT.

A con it esp in di:\t of the Qucenslimder giver-, the following 1 cure for horo throats : — It cannot bo generally Known Unit nil forms of wore throat, whether simple, uleeiaied, quinsy, diptheria, Hc:u*J«t fever, or otheiwise, can be either totally cured or gre itly alleviated by simply wearing a s» # ot"L old silk kerchief tn-iee round the neck, high up and m\.\t the skin, c pod illy if worn at night when the pain is iii&t felt. Like Naaman, the fctyri.ui, people will take any trouble but the ri^ht one, and ily to gargle-, blisters, lotiwir,, pill*, &c, and keep at them for a month at a time ; but an old silr. square — why it-, too absmd, and so they hug their sore thio.it, and wonder why it don'L get bettor. Not only does the silk cure the .sore tin oat, but it prevented a recurrence of it. I was formerly a martyr to quinsy and ulcerated sore tin oat, and used to have a whole month of it regularly every winter, and in spite, too, oC all the usual medical battery of pills, gargles, &c, it ran iUeouise till I tried the silk ; the sore throat then took the hint Am) has left me alone ever since as a bad customer. I invariably killed it within an hour of any attempt it makes upon me ; an old sore throat will take a day to cure. Mind, I do not pretend to say that the silk will cure fever or any other sympton or complications that may accompany sore throat, Int this I do say, that it will cure and r-movo a\\ paiti and difficulty of swallowing in the throat without the aid of any local remedy, or it ■will do it in spite of them, if yon do apply them and it both, but, without it, cure only comes by nature, not physic, aR far as the. sore tin oat goes ; other nsmcdioH aic neither good nor harm, cxc i pt as they keep you fiom trying the infallible silk.
