INTERPRETATION OF THE THROAT CURED BY ALuM.-Powdered alum, applied by the finger to the part affected, very seldom fails to cure inflammation of the throat in a few days The efficacy ofthis remedy, says the author, NJ. Valpeau, is as marvellous as 1t is rapid. Employed the first, second, third, or fourth day, while there is yet no abscess in the tonsils, t arrests all symptoas as it were by enchantment; the fever abates, the swell ling diminishes, the appetite returns and the convalescense is quickly decided and com pleted By showing that this remedy Is as powerful in simple inflammation as in laflasa- nation of the tonsils, NJ. yalpeau hopes that practitioners will no longer hesitate to make proof of its efficacy, and rescue thereby hun dreds of human beings from the grave.
