■ Some time since attention was called in these columns (states the " Queenslander') to tho curative properties, in cases Of cold, bronchitis, and kindred complaintß, of Euphorbia Piluli fera, and it is most gratifying to learn that the publicity thus given to the fact has been the means of saving a valuable life, for we are in formed by a person whoa month ago saw the writer of the subjoined letter—which we'here reprint, and which cannot have too wide a pub licity—that " he looked like a man marked for death." It is to be hoped that members of the medical profession in particular wUI take special note of this remarkable case. The following is the letter, which we produce from the. columns of the Rockhampton '-Bulletin," to the editor of which paper it was addressed:—'-Sir,—lt is with some reluctance I appear before the publio In the columns of a newspaper on a subject which may seem at first sight to be of a some what private character; but it is impressed on my mind that having, by a very, simple rpmedy, been relieved from much suffering, and prob ably from a premature grave, I feel it a duty I owe to society—to' suffering humanity—to pub lish far and wide tie fact that we have __' medi cinal plant of great value growing as a weed in almost every garden in the district, which, if utilized, is an infallible remedy for Colds, Coughs, Bronchial Affections, Diseases of the Respiratory Organs, and Asthma. , (It has' been used successfully in cases of Congestion of the Lungs, Liver Complaints; and for inveterate smokers it is invaluable, as it neutralizes the effects of nicotine poisoning.) I allude to the plant known by the botanical name of Euphor bia Pilulifera. It is well known to many of my friends in Rockhampton that;for several months past I have been Buffering from the effects of a neglected cold, resulting in a dis tressing cough, coWous expectoration/and -what appeared to be chronic bronchitis, and more recently asthma. My suffering from tightness of the chest, difficulty of breathing, loss of ap petite, as well as loss of rest and sleep brought me down to the verge of the grave; and I De ilieve it has beenunder Providence owing to the skill and care of my medical adviser that I have ' been sustained so long.
