For Weak Throats.

An excellent cure for sore throats Is to ,have the patient eat a fresh pineapple or as much of it as possible. If unable to eat the fruit let the juice be pressed out and given freely. If you live in the country and cannot obtain fresh fruit canned pineapples will do. Another safe and simple remedy is: Take a tobacco pipe, place a live coal in the bowl, drop a little tar upon the coal and let the patient draw smoke into the mouth and discharge It through the nostrils.
