Sore Throats.

--Salt as a Remedy. In these days, when diseases of the throat are so prevalent, and, in many cases, so fatal, the use of common salt is recommended as an effectual remedy. We commenced by using it three times a day — morning, noon, and night. We dissolved a large tablespoonful of pure table salt in about half a tumblerful of cold water. With this we gargled the throat most thoroughly before meal time. The result has been that during the entire winter we were not only free from the usual coughs and colds to which, so far as our memory extends, we have always been subject, but the dry, backing cough has entirely disappeared. We attributes this satisfactory result entirely to the salt gargle.
