A Cure for Diphtheria.
A very simple and yet most effective
remedy for diphtheria is nothing but
the juice of the pineapple, which the
patient should be forced to swallow.
The fluid is of so pungent and corro
sive a nature that it cuts the diph
theria mucous and causes it to disap
pear. The corrosive nature of the
juice is shown by the fact that if a
person in good health happens to take
the Juice of a pineapple before the lat
ter is ripe, the mucous membranes of
the throat are apt to become sore.
