The first symptom of many infectious dis- cases-like Diphtheria, Measles, Scarlet Fever takes the form of sore and ulcerated thront; hence the gravity of the epidemic of Sore Throat which is at present raging through many parts of China. Yet, if taken early, sore throats which would develop into some dangerous throat disease File Diph. theria, can easily be cured.

Doctors have long been convinced that gargles will not do thi, for they rarely reach the places where they are most required, ie, the back of the throat and behind the tonsils, Besides, the act of gargling irritates the infanted and diseased parts, which should be kept atwolutely quiet to ensure a rapid eure.
