Take from 1 to 2 pounds sulphur of brimstone, 

 mixed with plaster and ashes, and a handful

Croton oil, it is said, will entirely remove this 

 complaint. A .case of three years standing has 

 been entirely cured, recovering his voice by the 

 application of croton oil to the surface of the 

 throat, against the organ affected. One drop 

 daily rubbed over the surface, produced a singu- 

 lar but powerful irruption of the skin, which as 

 it progressed restored the voice to its full tone 

 and vigor.
