A SIMPLE CURE. The following letter from a corre surmdent of the Liverpool Mercury will probably be read with interest jus/ now: “I am willing to risk my repu tation as a public man if the wors+ case of smallpox cannot be cured ir three days simply by cream of tartar This is the sure and never failing remedy; one ounce of cream of tartrp dissolved in boiling water, to be drunk when cold at short intervals. It car be taken at any time. It is known to have cured in 100,000 cases withoiT failure. I have myself restored bun dreds by this .means. It never leave' a mark, never causes blindness, and ijlways prevents tedious lingering. P the people would only try it and r? port all cures to you, you would re quire, many columns if you gave them publicity.
