Salt For The Throat

In Uieso days, whon disnasea of the throat aro bo universally prevalent, nnd so many casus fataj, we fee] it our diity to say a word n behalf of a simple, and what has been wi h us a most effectual preventiva, f not a positivo cuw, of eore throat. For manv yenrS pust, indeed wc n):iy aay during the whofc of a lite over forty years, we have been subjaoi to a soro throat, önd more particularly to a dry, backing cough, whieh was not only -distressing to otirselves, Luit to our friends and ihOTO with wlioni no wero bronght into businefs contact. Last fall we wore induced to try what virtue there was in cominou salt. We commenced by using ít three times a day, morning, noon, and riight. Wo didsolved a laige table-íspootiful ot puro ealt in about half of a siniill turabler fnll df coid water. With this we gargled tbe throat most thorougbly jnsf beforo meal-time. The result has beun that during the entire winter we ero not only free iroin the usual coughs and cuida to which, as far as our raemory extends, 'e have alwaya been Bubject, uut the dry, cough bas cntirely disappearod. We attribule tl Jactory rusults eblely to the use of sult grglc, and do most cordially rccornnu-n.J a trial of it to those of our readers who are subject to disertsc-s of the throat. Many persons, who have never tried the Balt gargle, have the impn that it is unploasant. Such ia not the case. To the contrary, it is pleasant, and üfter a few day 's use, no person who loves a nioo clean mouth, and a first-rate sbarpener of the appetite, will abandon t;--Farmer and Gardaicr.
