FROM THE ARMY OF TEaNEssEE.
From our OWL Reporter.1

Are united under one commander, Ger. Hal
leck, 1t Is to be expected TINT something |
worthy of the immense force will soon be |
done. That something mast be done before |
the hot weather sets in, Is evident to me,
Judging from the great amount of sickness
here even nov. do not e1aggerate when I t
say that every fifth man in this army Is labor
Ing under q diarrhea Of the most prostrating
description. Old United States officers who
escaped this plague of sr1nies all through the
Mexican war, where it Was very prevalent, and
even among the everglades Of Florida, are
now down with it It's effects are most ener-
Eatangg, and the usual remedies, opium and
tanum, appear to but merely check the disease
for q time. Bad whisky may aggrayate the
symptoms, but even those who never use the
ardent are not free from the indiction. I, In
common with every medical officer with whom
I have convereed upon the subject Of the
health Of the army, are Of the opinion that the
use Of ale and beer by the troops should ty al
means be encouraged. These act as tonic
and operate upon the liver to change the Sc
cretions, This diarrhea operates almost pre-
cisely similarly to the cholera. In aggravated
cases, have observed prec.Bely the same
symptoms, rice-w water discharges, cramps, and
finally collapse. Anything that will operate
to produce moderate flow of bile will im1ne-
3iately cure the disease. In addition to the
