( Salt for the Throat. — In these days, when diseases of the throat are so universally prevalent, and in so many cases fatal, we feel it our duty to say a word in behalf of a most effectual, if not positive, cure for sore throat. For many years, indeed, we may say,, during the whole of a life of more than forty years — Aye have been subject to sore throat, and more parti culiarly to adry, hacking cough, which is not only distressing to ourselTes, but to our Mends and those with whom we are brought in business contact. Last fall we were induced to try what virtue these was in common salt. We commenced by using it three times a day — morning, noon and night. We dissolved a tablespoouful of pure table salt in about a half small tumbler full of water. With this we gargled the throat most thoroughly just before meal time. The result has been that during the entire winter we have not only been free from coughs and cold, but tho drying, hacking cough has entirely disappeared. We attribute these satisfactory re&ultjs salely to the use of salt gargle, and most cordially recommend a trial of it to those who are subject to diseases of the throat. Many persons who have never tried the salt gargle have the impression that it is unpleasant. (Such is not the case. On the contrary, it is pleasant, and after a few days use, no person who loves a nice, clean month, and a first-rate sharpener of the aj)petite, will abandon it. — Exchange.
