THE SYCAMORE Republican refers to something to which officials should give a passing thought, as follows: "It will be well for town officers to re­ member the law passed last winter requiring officers who disburse public money, to publish iu some newspaper a detailed statement of their disburse­ ments.

As diphtheria is very prevalent throughout this country we do not think the following will be out of place In these columns: It is a remedy extracted from the Belfast (Ireland) Witney and was written by a gentle- 1,1 who accompanied a doctor on hie rounds when diphtheria was almost an epidemic In England. He says of the doctor: "All he took with him was powdered sulphur aud a quill, and with these he cuted every patient without exception. He put a teaspoonfuli of flour of brimstone in t( wine-glass of water, and stirred with his finger In­ stead of a spoon, as the sulphur does not readily amalamat* with water.-- When the sulphur was well mixed lie gave it as a gargle, and in ten miuutes the patient was out of danger. Brim, stone kills every species of fungus in man, beast and plant, in a few minutes. Instead of spitting opt the gargle, he recommended the swallowing of It. In extreme cases, lu which he had been called just In the nick ot time, when the fungus was too nearly closed to allow the gargling, he blew the sulphur through a quill into the throat, and after the fungus had sur.k, to allow of it, then the gargling. Re never lost a patient from diphtheria. If a patieut cannot gargle, take a live coal, put it on a shovel, aud sprinkle a spoonful or two of flour of brimstone upon It; let the sufferer inhale by holding his head over it." Dr. R.

Life and Woi k of Garfield. We have heretofore referred to this remarkable book by Dr. John Clark Ridpatli, published by Jones Brother^ A Co. Its success Is almost phenotn enal. It is doubtless having a larger sale than any other book now before the public. It seems to possess the rare quality of responding to the pop­ ular want In every detail--in matter, illustration, paper, printing, binding and price. As it concerns Garfield's life aud the events which make him Hiufcir'ious, this book will ever remain the standard popuiar biography. NUMDA. EDITOR PLAIXDKAI.EK:--Wm.
