"One-fourth pound loaf sugar, one-fourth pound gum kino, one-fourth

ounce alum; put in a covered porcelain dish on stove in a quart of soft

water. Simmer down to one pint, gargle the throat every fifteen minutes,

or for small children use a swab. Bandage the throat with onion poultices;

this recipe has relieved when used as directed; was used by my mother and

proved effectual."
