such enterprises now on foot, in connection with the tunnels and shafts
completed during the past two
years, we feel justified in predicting
that the gold yield of the county will
“goon begin to show a large increase
ver past years, While this gratifying state of affairs exists among gravel
mines, the quartz interest is not
lagging. Many new and valaable
mines have been opened the past
year, and developments are. being
made ‘on a large number of new
fedges, which promise first-rate.
Phe county's prospects for the future.were never better.
Drainage and Health.
Ill health and epidemic disease
are attributed, in large cities, to improper or defective drainage. -Physicians and writers for the press all
gonclude that when diptheria and
kindred diseases prevail to any great
extent, the cause may be attributed
to the want of proper drainage.
’ ‘While it is true that bad air arising
from decaying vegetable or animal
matter, under a hot sun, will produce
‘intermitting and remitting diseases,
itis not always true that epidemic
diseases arise from that cause. A
ease in point may be mentioned in
Ais county. On the San Juan Ridge,
at Columbia Hill, diptheria has been
quite prevalent and very fatal. The
_ pir there is as pare as mountain air
is on a high ridge where there is
natural drainage, There is no standng water and bat little vegetation
in the vicinity. How oan the theory
ot imperfect drainage be applied to
that locality.

of tens of thousands of anxious

no doubt, were alarmed at such a

conscientiously anxious for constitutional warrant for any plan that

At 90’clock on the morning of January 29 the body of Dr. J. W. Kelsey
was discovered in asitting posture in
his boat iu the slough near the city
of Stockton, California. It appears
the deceased had been. out gunning,
and it is supposed that an attack of
heart disease, from which he suffered
was brought on by over-exertion in
rowing, and caused death very suddenly: When found his hands were
clasped on the oars, aud his dog lying
in front of him in the boat, The deceased gentleman was President of

alum waterin the first stages when
the throat was inflamed and awollen
and if that did not cure, which, however, it was aptto do, thenext thing
done when the throat became white,

and pulverized and blown upon the
affected parts; with gunpowder, sul-,
phar and borax in certain proportions mixed in honey or molasses

burned alum and borax is a great abgorbent—and.a few blasts upon it
through.a quill would clear the throat
as if scraped with a scraper; then ©
-wet towel placed outside, or if need
be, @ poultice ofice to allay the ingo good, and every case got well.
We now see in an English paper
what is pronoanced there, ‘a -wonderful and certain cure for dipthetia,’ which is simply a gargle of salphur water and a few blasts of the.
flour of sulphur blown through a
quill into the throat! And we may
hére say that we can, from our own
experience well believe this to be i.
excellent remedy, and perhaps the
best yet discovered. The flour of
salphar isa powerful absorbent and
will, as it were, eat up the fangus
instantly and prevent it from spreading, just as the burned alum and
borax did. Itis simple, easily oband it can dono harm while it will
be sure to do good, if it doesnot entirely cure! :
Bat here is what an Englishman
says on the subject:
“‘When diptheria was raging in
England lately, I accompanied Dr.
Field on his rounds to witness the
so-called ‘wonderful cares’ he performed, while the patients of others
wete dropping “ou all sides. The
remedy tobeso rapid must be simle. All he took with him was power of sulphur and a quill,’ and with
these he cured every patient without
exception. He put a teaspoonful
of flour of brimstone in a wine glass
of water, and stirred it with his finoo of a spoon, as sulphur
3 not’ readily amalgamate with
water. When the sulphor was well
mixed-he gave itas a gargle, and in
ten minutes the patient was out of
danger. Brimstone kills every species of fungus in man, beast or plant
in‘a few minutes, Instead of spitting oat the gargle he recommended
the swallowing of it, In extreme
eases, when he had been called just
in the nick of time, when the fungus wastoo nearly closing to allow
the gargling, Ae blew the sulphur
through a quill into the throat, and
after the fungus had shrunk to allow of it, then the gargling. He
never. lost. a patient from diptheria.
If a patient cannot gargle, take a
live coal, putit on a@ shovel, and
sprinkle aspoonful or two of flour
of brimstone at a time apon it, let
the sufferer inhale it, holding the
head over.it, and the fungus will die.
If plentifully used, the whole room
may be filled almost to suffucation;
the patient can walk aboutin it, inhaling the fumes, with doors and
windows shut.”’ ;
We say again, speaking from much
experience with. the alam etc, remedy, wefeel quite vonfident that this
sulphur cure will be an eminent success, and as such we recommend it
notonly toall the people but to the
profession aa well. If henceforth
‘any person die of this disease whose
attendants have not tried this cure,
there will be something at fault some
where.
