This rediculonus paragraph is lia ble to lead the public who are not acquainted with the modest and womanly manners of our ladies to believe that the ladies of this town are not recherchce by the chivalrous gentleman of the com munity, and when one of them get a chance to show up with a beau she makes a public show of it. This is certainly not the case, because all who are acquainted with the Southern woman, and par itcularly those of St. Martinville, hu know that they prefer to remain B. old maids, rather than to lower or IL compromise their pride and digni ty.

Tichenor, of this city, E last an authority on septic diseases, g day; asserts his origination and posses- t ac- sion of the only specific for the e prevention and treatment of char-. at bhn.. His views are set forth in t stse the appended paragraphs for the a Iren benefit of Thre Times-Democrat I r a readters: 5 Shortly after his discovery of r lace the permanganate of potassium f rood solution it appears that Dr. Tiche- 1 and, nor's method of treatment was sto- I by len in Brazil by one Prof. Lar- a hbe, cerds. This man got permission t lit- of the authorities to take a test of ,ang the efficacy of the solution upon at ated condemned criminal, who was pro- a had/ mised his liberty in the event of K the the experiments proving success- r fil. Th, criminal consented and e - was inoculated with the virus from i a dozen poisonous repties, inclu ding the cobra, whose bite is dead a within a few minutes. The solu tion was applied to the wounds after inoculation and within a short time the man was perfectly well. Emperor Dom Pedro, de lighted with the outeome of the experiment, rewarded Larcerda with a preeent of $20,(00. Dr. Tichenor's views upon the prevention and treatment of char d bon, prepared expressly for The le Times-Democrt, are as follows: .e "To eradicate the diseases, when a dead animal is found it should of be opened or pierced with a sharp ss pointed instrument of any kind most convenient, taking care that fluid from the animal does not get on the hands or person. Where ie buzzards are found this precan Dn tion will not be necessary, as the 44 buzzards will open the animal, and thus prevent septic fluid from ok being concentrated upon the skin e- of the animal. Flies swarm around ve the dead animal, and as their bills 23 or probosces penetrate through of the skin septic poison remains on ry them, and the fly, if permitted to of find lodgment on anything living, human or animal, and draw blood, - his the animal or human is vaccina lay ted with septic poison, equal in er- intensity to that of a rattlesnake of bite. During the great overflow in the vahey in the year 1882 thousands of cattle were drowned il- and floated around for weeks. Sri- During that time buzzards from the hills and surrounding country me bordering on the Mississippi Val 3g5 ley were killed by eating the floa on- ters, in violation of the provision of nature's laws. The buzzards always opens the carcass before e partaking of the flesh, and by so doing avoids septic poison. "n Charbon is not caused by short by or long pastures, nor grub, bug or worm, which mules or horses take __ out of the ground and into their 1 stomachs while feeding on exces bet- sively short pastures, nor is the ` disease contagious. Charbon is was communicated only by the biting "L. fly or by vaccination. "od "I have treated a number of ma- cases of charbon caused by the s skinning knife slipping, cutting a ar- finger or hand. Human beings do em not feed on pastures or eat bugs h or worms from the ground. "This disease is caused and pro s' pagated by septic poison introdu ced into the system. Flies feed etit ing upon dead carcasses are im m portant factors in spreading the " disease, and they have no more onm. respect for human beings than - they have for animals. "To cure the disease, place in an iron kettle one-half of rain wa eaol ter. Then dissolve one ounce of permanganate of potassium in I same and place over a fire. Let d= it remain until the solution gets the as warm as it will be possible to Shold your hand in without burn ing. It is then ready for use. "To prepare the animal for re ceiving the solution, take a sharp pointed knife blade or a lance. 1 city, Slip it through a cork, so as to ses, gauge the depth sufficient to cut ses- through the skin of the animal1 the enough to draw blood, cutting se har- veral small holes over the incep 1 in tion of the septic virus or as near the as circumstances will permit. crat Then apply your permanganate solution freely over the swollen v of parts with a mop or brush every ium four hours, warming the solution che- before such application. This so sto- lution will remain good for sever Lar- al days. This is the external sion treatment required. t of "Internal Treatment-Give 'An on a tiseptic Refrigerant,' four table pro- spoonfuls in one pint of water t of night and morning to aid in eli rsS minating the poison from the ani and mal. -Times-DZemocrat. .
