The following small-pox remedy
was given to the public by a corres
pondent of the Stockton (Cal.) Her
ald, who nays: "I herewith append a
recipe which has been used, to my
knowledge, in hundreds of cases. It
will prevent or cure small-pox though
the plttings aie filling. It will also
cure scarlet fever. Here is the re
cipe as I have used it to cure my
children of scarlet fever; here it is
as I have used It to cure small-pox.
When learned physicians said the pa
tient must die, it cured!
"Sulphate of zinc, one grain;
foxglove (digitalis), one 'grain;
half a teaspoonful of sugar. Mix
with two teaspoonfuls of water.
When thoroughly mixed add
four ounces of water. Take a
teaspoonful every hour. Either s
disease will disappear in twelve
hours. For a child, small doses
according to their age.
"If countries would compel physi
cians to use this, there would be no
need of pest-touses. If you value
advice and experience, use this for
that terrible disease."

fetid signed by Judges Phil M. Crow
and W. 11. Kinder;
George Schmalstlg et al vs. 1. N.
hlser, as county commissioner et al:
Finding atid decree for defendants at
costs of the plaintiffs. Motion for
new trial overruled. Exceptions
saved. Remanded for execution.
Schmalstlg, through bis attorney,
W. E. Tou Velle. In May, 1913, filed
an action against the County Com
missioners and the Trustees of Gran
ville township, enjoining them from
laving out and opening a road ln
Gianville township, known as the
Cianbeiry roud, petitioned for ln
January, 1913, by Casper Reier.
The principle contention was the
location of the Greenville Treaty
Line, which was originally surveyed
lr 1799. By reason of the disputed
location of said line, the plaintiffs and
Dennis Dwyer, who owns adjoining
land to the south, agreed upon a line,
and established fences thereon.
Common Pleas Judge Mathers, of
Sidney in deciding the case In April,
1915 found that said boundary line,
as agreed upon, Is the true line,
where said road should be opened and
constructed.
The court therefore decreed that
in laying out and opening said road
the defendants were to take one-half
of said roadway on the north side of
said line and one-haif on the south
bide.
Temporary testraining order was
disolved by the court, and costs as
sessed half to plaintiffs and half to
defendants.
The Court of Appeals confirms the
decision of the Common Pleas court,
but assesses all the costs to the
plaintiffs.
Last Monday the plaintiffs filed an
appeal bond to take the case to the
Supreme Court.
