IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK
Dreadful ravages of the cholera among overland
Emigrants to misunderstanding and
sickness --Brandeth's Pills in cholera -.-Re-
turn Of Emigrants TO st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS June 9th, Is49.
MrssRs BEACH !: left New York city on the
18th March last, as one Of company OF forty
eight persons, 10 rendezvous at Independence,
Mo. and proceeded thence 10 California. We
were fortunate in making our arrangements at
Independence, and left there in good health and
spirits on the 18th April. Two other compa-
MES, one from N. Hampshire an the other from
Western New York, left at the same time,
we journeyed on in company for the first six
days after that we left them behind, as they
had OK teams, which are bad travellers.
The second week out we were alarmed at
the appearances OF the cholera, as one Of our
number was suddenly taken with vomiting, 8c.
&C., and such was the absence of mind or
fright, that before anything was done for him
he was in commissions, and died in few hours
after ,he first attack The next day another
was taken and one Of our number, had laid in
some of R,apdeth's Pills on speculation, gave
ihe patient dose Of nine pills, and in thirty
minutes after five more, and he was saved .-.--
Bv This time the two other companies came up
and Joined us. and now the cholera made its ap-
pearance in earnest, Tho first day .here were
five taken, the mex. seven, and the third thir-
teen, and soon we had hospital in the wilder
ness, and oar only physicicn a cabinet-maker
with Brandeths Pills and strange as II may
appear, we only lost two others beside the hrst
one taken and they took no less, than 50 oil
Brandeth's Pills, concluded to return home
and two more of our company sold out with me
and we retraced our steps to this place, compa-
nies that passed US lost many Of their numbers
especially where spirits and brandy were used
and laudanum administered. All our men
took was pills and some crust tea, saw no less
than 9 OF company buried in one grave, The
suffering Of the men on the plains is awful.
Since have been here, 3 more Of our COM
pany have returned here, and among them Saw
age who had the pills. He sold out his pills to
other companies at ST. per box SO he has not
lost ything after all Wee pect that our entire
company will be here this week as we have had
enough of California and Brandeths pills tolast
US for aquarter Of. a century al least,
Yours truly,

Brandeths Pills.

Among the many evidences, of character
undo lbted, some of which have been madepub'
JIG, showing the wonderful efficacy Of my pills
in cholera, the following is worthy of the seri-
GUS consideration Of all who yet remain scepti-
cal. / am confdant that if the pills are taken
in the early stage Of the disease, or what is bet
ter, il the bowels are thoroughly evacuated by
them repeatedly during the prevalence, of the
,piedisposing cause Of cholera among us, that
but few cases would occur, and Of those that did
not one per cent. would die.
