AS to the authority Of our assertion in
respect to the treatment Of Cholera in
Cincinnati, we have the statements ol
HomTopathists of that place as Veritas
insinuates, with one of whom REV. A.
Miller, M. d. we have often treated that
fearful malady. We know, too, that it is
contrary to the Homeopathic authorities
to give from three to five drops of the
strongest tincture of camphor every three
minutes in Cholera.

prophet in Israel exclaims, "Oh that my

This noble Reviewer has the audacity
to prescribe for us large allopathic doses
OF modesty," which he atfirms to be
good both for man and woman. We
venture to say that he has paid more at
tention to, and has been more delighted
with the charms of the {" fair SEX than
with the study of Symptomatology, and
therefore, we think he is incapable of
forming correct diagnosis, and we shall
decline the recipe. Our pa
tients never swallow allopathic doses
under wrong name" and our motto with
respect TO everything pertaining to allo-
pathy is, "touch not, taste not, handle

be very injurious to as, just at this period.

sense Of the Reviewer, it would add
greatly to the cquanimity Of the regulars.
We hope the time will never come when
we shall be 50 modest, 50 retiring as to
let Reviewer ride, rough Shod, over us,
and that we shall never fear to contro
vert the egotistic claims of the regulars
to exclusive orthodoxy. On thecuntrary,
it shall always be our pride, BY 'ferte FPiitt-

the people as to the true state Of the me-
tlical profession, and to prove, from It's his
