DEAR DoCToR;-It gives ne pleasure to an

success in the treatment OF cholera has been a
complete one. We have not lost one patient, al
though we had sometimes to cure those abandon

oil our success to the systematic and well pre-
pared plan with which we tiled to have the sole
control over the disease in its first stages by ex-
Guiding from our patient all aeopathic remedies,
win which formerly every family more or less
was infested. | consider it the first real trial
which Homeopathy had to meet her cholera enc.

containing four remedies, with full directions, of
which send you one-(Camphor, l to 6 parts
Alcohol, Feratrum and Cuprum 6, Sulphur 400 }
VI these each oil our families, through the whole
town, numerous Steamboats, and country people,
received one. By these means only we were en-
abled TO meet the disease, uudisturbed by alooo-
