How
to
cure
the
Lockjaw.
The
"INTew^
York
Observer"
says:
—
A
3'oung
lady
ran
a
rusty
nail
into
her
foot
recently.
The
injury
produced
lockjaw
of
such
a
malignant
character
that
her
physicians
pronounced
her
recovery
hopeless.
An
old
nurse
took
her
in
hand,
and
applied
pounded
beet-roots
to
her
foot,
removing
them
as
often
as
they
became
dry.
The
result
was
a
most
complete
and
astounding
cure.
Such
a
simple
remedy
should
be
borne
in
mind.
