A Correspondent at Rehoboth desires us to mention, that a very simple remedy has been lately discovered for the Throat-disease, which for more than two years past has prevailed in the eastern states, and proved fatal to vast numbers of children, and in some instances to adult persons.
The medicine is, Rum in which Rue has been steeped. Adults may generally take it without being mixed; but for children it should be diluted with water, according to their age and strength. Our correspondent adds, that in the towns of Rehoboth and Attleborough none have died, when this simple remedy has been used; and should it on further trial prove a sovereign specific against that dangerous malady, we have only to lament that an earlier discovery of it was not made.
