FACT FOR PHYSIOLOGISTS !—lt is a
singalar fact that In this enlightened age and country the
treatment usually adopted by the Faculty, in cases of Dyspep=la (In-
di7estion), is the result of a false theory, indicating a lamentable
ignorance of the Physiology of the Stomach and Digestive Organs;
and is in most instances calculated to establish and confirm the ma-
lady it is intended to remove.
The Secretary of the Nottingham Botanic Institute will feel a
pleasure in forwarding (free) to all applicants th. excellent Botanic
Remedy for Indigestion, Bilious and Liver Complaints, recently dis-
covered by Professor Webster, of Philadelphia, and communicated
to the Institute by that distinguished Botanist. The Medical Re-
form society (at whose cost thee annuuncements appear) wish it to
be frankly and distinctly understood, that they will not, in any
shape, nor and r any circumstances whatever, accept any contribu-
tion, fee, or gratuity for this recipe ; the object of the society being,
to demonstrate the superiority of the Botanic over every other prac-
tice of medicine, and in return only de,,ire that those who may be
signally benefltted by It, will forward to the society a -1 cement of
the case, and thus aid with facts. In accelerating the present move-

THE MUTINIES IN INDIA.

THE ADVANCE ON CAWNPORE.
The following letter is from a lad of 18 who had
.joined the Volunteer Cavalry upon the mutiny of
his own regiment :
" Camp Nawabgunge, near Cawnpore, July 21.
"I have not wr.tteu since Allababad, but I hope
you will forgive me when you hear how actively
we have been engaged. I began by joining the
Volunteer Cavalry, which wars being raised from
officers with iut regiments, and went into c amp im-
mediately and was nearly washed away by rain.
On Tuesday, tho 7th, we marched out at 4 p.m.,
it still raining,
_and the Volunteer Cavalry leading
the way. We had also 1,500 Europeans, eight
guns, and a few Sikhs and some Irregular Cavalry.
That night we were very uncoinfoinahle, being en-
camped in a marsh, no food to eat, and the tents
not coming up till after dark. On Saturday we en-
c laved. within a few miles of the column that had
gone before, and which joined with us the next
day at 1 a.m. ; 6 a.m. found us after an 1 miles'
march close to Futtehpore, where there was known
to be an intrenched camp in the enemy's posses-
sion. We, mustering 20 ia all, a few of the Irre-
gulars, and a company of Fusileers, were pushed
forward, and approeched towards the place. Tytler,
our Quartermaster-General, went close up, and was
taking a good survey of the place when
the whole force rushed out ou him ;he
galloped back to us, and we stood there
till the guns opened on us with round
shot, and their cavalry skirmished on our flanks.
The Irregulars tried to bolt, but were stopped by
the Madras Fusiliers. We then all retired slowly
on our camp, the enemy following. When we had
formed up our artillery advanced and opened 'upon
them, but nothing more, as they bolted imme-
diately, their cavalry leading the way. They left
11 guns in all, a great deal of beggag,e, but no
treasure. We learnt af;erwards that they had
come out supposing us to be Major Renaud's
column, with two guns only, and they had come
with their baggage, intending to cut up Major
Renaud's party, and then go straight on to Allaha-
bad. We marched through the town and got to
our encamping ground at 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
having been marching and fighting since 1.1 o'clock
the night before. We had not a man killed,
though several poor fellows fell victims to sun-
strokes. We, of courss, halted the next day, but
had to disarm the Irregulars, as they had bolted
and deserted their officers the day before, when
called upon to charge the rebels. We fought on
Sunday, halted on Monday, and on Tuesday again
came across the enemy intrenched ; we imme-
diately drove them out, and they left behind two
guns ; we rested an hour, though I personally had
no rest, being sent back to see if the baggage was
all right, it having been attacked by the enemy's
cava'ry, though without success. On my joining
our men again we got the order to advance, which
we did for about three miles, when they opened on
us a 24-pounier entrenched on the other side of a
small stream, they having withdrawn all their men
across the bridge. We blew them out of that
again, and crossed the brid.gejustin time to save its
being blown up, as they had laid a train so to do.
This second time we took a 24-pounder and one
16-pound carronade. The men were so done up
that we had to halt them, and not before time, as
the sun was overpowering. The next day was an
awful day for us Volunteer Cavalry ; we marched
early and went about 16 miles, or within three of
where the enemy were strongly entrenched, and
we had therefore to go on picket, I myself
standing sentry for an hour, and from the be-
giunning to end we were on the qui vive all the
time, as the Sowars were hanging around us.
I had been on picket all night, and had nothing to
eat except biscuit, nor anything to drink. but
water. We managed to get a little meat in the
middle of the day, but.bad to eat it standing. At
3 o'clock we advanced again, and marched on to
some little distance, when the column turned off
to the right, the Volunteer Cavalry remaining on
the road so as to hide the movement, and then we
formed up in the rear. We were fired on imme-
diately, foul after some difficulty carried their posi-
tion ou the Cawnpore road, where the infantry and
cavalry were in full retreat, and then we 20 Volun-
teer Cavalry made a gallant charge, losing one man
killed, though it is a miracle that we were not all
shot as they coolly potted at us. A. pretty sharp
baptism all this fey a youngster ! We then took
breath on the Delhi road, but a round shot from
the village on the right soon knocked us up again ;
the village was carried at the point of the bayonet,
but no sooner there than two 24-pounders opened
again further down the Cawnpore road and out
of the range of our guns, which were on the
Delhi road, but these were ultimately captured
by us. We got on our encamping ground just as
it was getting dark, after having again captured 7
guns, among them the two 24 pounders. Our bag-
gage had not moved since the halt, and was there-
fore about seven miles behind. We had nothing
for it but to go supperless to bed, holding our
horses, as no grooms were up. As luck would
have it, I had to mount night guard from 9 to 11,
and had no sooner turned in than a false alarm was
given, and we were all roused up again, but only
for a quarter of an hour. When I turned in with
a looted Sepoy's cloak around me, and a bottle for
my pillow, I slept like a top. Next morning we
heard au explosion, which turned out to be half
the magazine which they had blown up. We then
marched into the cantonments, and I had the satis-
faction of putting up in the 2d Cavalry lines. A
nigger brought lots of beer, sodawater, and brandy,
which was a great haul, as we had only had a biscuit
for breakfast. We found the next day that the
Nena had murdered all the women and children
that he had taken prisoners, and thrown them naked
down a well. This he did when be saw we were '
getting the best of it. The women and children, '
in all about two hundred, had been kept in
a sort of Zenana, and no attention whitever paid
to cleanliness, and in that place they had been
butchered, as the ground was covered with clotted
blood. One poor womanhad evidently been work-
ing, as a small workbox was open and the things
scat ered about ; there were several children's
small round hats, evidently showing that that was
their prison, and the well close by was one of the
most awful sights imaginable. It has been covered
in, and I hope that we shall raise a monument
over it. The Nena has escaped us for the time,
but he will assuredly be hung some day, unless
the report is true that he has drowned himself.
The
day before yesterday being Sunday church
parade was ordered, but instead of this we were
marched off to Bithoor, where the Rajah's palace
was. We found it quite deserted of men, though
they had kindly left us 15 more guns, bullocks,
elephants, &c. Their guns were in strong posi-
tion, but they seemed to have been seized with a
panic, and bolted. The villagers are bringing hi
bepoys daily,
again. Tnsi

THE DISASTER AT ARRAN.

The following is a copy of a letter from one of
the little band who defended themselves £0 gallantly
at Arrak

Arrab, August 3, 10.30 a.m.

"I received your letter this morning just after
a couple of men came in to tell us relief was at
hand. Yesterday the troops had an engagement
with the enemy, some 2,000 in number, and'beat
