all appropriately in keeping with the general

recommended and practiced by an army sur
geon Of much experience in the British army,
who has published work on the subject,

Regiment, composing part of that garrison.
Previous to its use a number of fatal cases of

covered. The recipe is laudunum and eth

solution of red pepper. Twenty drops of

NPThe Cholera repor, in New York f1r
Friday shows a decided increase Of the dis
ease there were larger number of case :
during the previous 81 hours than on an 9TH
et day this season and yet, the Aims House,
Pennitenliary and Backwell's Island made no
returns had the usual report been received
from these institutions, the number Of cases
would probably have been sweled up 10 800.
We have no idea that one half Of the actual
number have ever been reported and our on
" astonishment is that the disease has not
been much worse People are reckless IN l e
gard to their general health, and imprudent IN
their diet and so long as this s the case, and
