Cures Are Worse
Than Diseases
R. A. WINSLOW
There is currently much talk
about Hong Kong flu and the
difficulty of finding cures for it
and similar seasonal sicknesses.
We should be glad of medical
progress, however. Consider the
following cures contained in
Nicholas Culpepper's School ofl
Physick, or the English Apothe
cary, printed in London in 1659
and handed down in a local ram
ily for untold years.
"For a Pleurisie. Boil Horse-
dung in white Wine till half of
white Wine is consumed, then
strain it, and sweeten it with
Sugar, (the Wine I mean, not
the Horse-dung) and let him that
hath the Pleurisie drink a draught
of it, and go to bed and cover
himself warm.

the Cough, to wet the soles of

take a gray Cat, and cut her
throat, then flea her and roast
her, and save her grease, boil

17-Year-01d Jailed
In Hobhsville Theft
A 17-year old Hobbsville boy
Raleigh Pernell Morris, was jail
ed and charged with breaking.
entering and larceny arter he
turned himself In last week
following the robbery of the
Clifton Stallings store in Joppa
Community.
The boy was arrested by
Sheriff W. H. Eure who recovered
$277.71 in cash stolen from the
cash register in the store.
Mrs. Stallings (the former
Hazel White) the owner's wife,
said she went to open the store
and noticed a fork handle protrud
ing from the front door lock. It
is said she remarked to an as
sistant that it appeared someone
had tried to get it. She said she
called the sheriff after discover
ing the robbery.
Before the sheriff arrived, it is
understood that Morris, who lives
within sight of the store, went to
the store and told Mrs. White
"he had done something he
shouldn't have". When the
sheriff arrived, the youth turned
over bills from his pocket and
led the sheriff to more cash
hidden under a board in the
store's produce shed.
Morris was jailed under a
$5,000 bond, awaiting a pre
liminary hearing in the January
term of District Court.
