					DIPTHERIA

We learn that ulcerated sore throats, thought by
some to be Diptheria, is prevalent in portions of
Banks and Franklin counties.  We find the following
remedy for Diptheria in our exchange which is said
to have been used with good results.

Take a handful of alder root, the same quantity of
dogwood root, and the same quantity of the bark of
persimmon root.  Boil them with a pint of vinegar
down to a half pint, then add very little water, a
small lump of alum and a little honey, use as a
gargle.
