DEAR SIK:-As mary of our soldiers are suffer
ing greatly in camp, with disease, you will please
permit me through the medium of your excellent
paper, to make known some remedies that believe
will be excellent, both for the and prevention
of many of the camp diseases 1t is this: For
coughs violent colds, take small quantity OF
spirits of turpentine and put in small Coffee pot
something of the kind and place it over fire of
Goals and let it remain until a steam begins to rise
from it then place the spout in your mouth, and
draw your breath in a few times Do this until it
makes your head feel light, when it should be left
of. ! have tired this several times myself and as
thought with marked benefit too. have several
times advised others to try it for hoarSeness sore
throat and particularly for sore breast, when the
disease seems like settling the lungs, and every
time | believe it was attended with marked Seneh6

occasion, which was in state Of confirmed con-
sumption. believe though it would be OF benefit,
even in that disease, if applied in time. It has no
bad effect and two or three applications VIII gen.
orally effect cure. 1 believe that Its use taken
inwardly would be great preventive Of camp dis
eases-and, if sprinkled over the floors Of tents,
think it would in that way be an excellent preven-
tative OF disease. have gained this knowledge by
some experiments of my own, and the way came
to find il out, was this:- $50. &

the tar, the spirit which the life thereof was
consumed, and therefore concluded that q better
plan than burning tar, would be to take some IN

turpentine, and took ten drops three times day.
Ny faith IN this remedy was such that visited the
sick and went without fear whithersoyer my busi-

him almost within the lines Of the enemy, where
he FELL nuring his rider in the shoulder and les by
the fall though not very seriously. Capt s was
highly eomplimented by Col Sngietary for his GAL
