Sulphur.

MAJOR Moan says:-We are gratifed
to find that the discovery of the successful
use of sulphur in cholera by DR.. Bird, of
Chicago, has been confirmed By the most
practical developments, leaving little doubt
that sulphur is both the preventative and
the cure, and we hope that our physicians
will not only give it a fair trial, but publish
TO the world the results of their observa.
ton. We have frequently read Of firing
cannon in several towns in Europe in which
the cholera did not appear, this was the
use of sulphur which purified the air; a
violent thunder storm has abated the chol-
era, where it had previousl y ragged. From
the fact that cholera runs in streams now
on one side of river, then on another;
one side of ship, leaving the other free
from att1ck; running as it were in cur
rents. There appears to be no doubt that
it arises from imperceptible animalcula in
the atmosphere. Doctor Tony, Of Phila-
dephia, succeeded, in 1882, In obtaining
through prepared net, some of the ami
malcua. which he says were of red COL
or Mr.. Refill, of New York city, declared
he obtained some by holding up creased
cloth. After severe thunder storm in
NASHVILLE, Kentucky, on its clearing off,
masses Of glulinous matter were depos-
tied on cellar doors, fences, &c, which
turned out to be minute insects, ofred color.
The disease Immediately disappeared. As
the disease came from Asia and Africa and
crossed over Europe, and the broad Allan
tic, we consider its origin to be the larre
Of the locust, so well known in ancient
times, and of late years making their ap-
pearance full grown at the South ond
West having, as we conceive, the ration
al origin thus transmissable from pole to
pole, we have now the antidote. OF late
the best effects grew out of electricity
No one knew why, but the free use of sui
phur clears up the mystery. The Buffa-
10 Courier states that Doctor Bird and
others went down 10 the Chicago and
Galena Railroad, and administered the sui
phur pills to man who had no pulse, and
to q woman who was purging and vomit-
ing. In ten minutes he gave three 10 the
woman, and left for Chicago. On tho ar.
rival of the cars next morning, the report
was that the patients were doing we'll; the
sulphur pills were tried on two more ca
ses with success. They telegraphed to
New Orleans, desiring that the sulphur
might be used, and the answer was receiv-
ed that it has been used with the best re-
suits. AS preventative, a sulphur pill
may be taken in the morning, and when
attacked. one every two hours until reliev.
ed Let druggists make these pills and
many boxes will be purchased; three grains
Of sui phur and one pulv verised charcoal To
each pill. Matches are good to be burned
throughout house; the smoke of sulphur
all over the city will diminish the disease
speedily. Recollect this is for cholera
aphyxia, not cholera morbas, which is
different disease, arising from different
cause.

"a sad rencontre took place to-day at a

He has Voted. but it did no Good.

Gen. Taylor repeatedly wrote during
the canvass that he had never voted in his
life. Since he was sworn in as President
Of the Uuited States, he has voted repeated
ly in his cabinet council; but his cabinet,
not responsible to the people, outvoted him
on every occasion. The man that never
surrendered before his election, surrenders
at discretion to his cabinet, and in so doing
surrenders his principles and his pledged
word to their dictation. Alas! how are
the mighty fallen!-Statesman.
