An Awful Calamity

I'VE learn that an awful calamity has
befallen some eight citizens and three
soldiers Of Chester, SO. 1t seems that
these persons demanded and received
thek keys belonging to the Medical Pur-
veyors Department, and entered the
building looking for fine wines and
liquors. In their search they came
across a cask of Antimonial Wine, and
each took a hearty drink, thereby caus
ing death to two, or three in few hours
afterwards. The others of the party are
not expected to live. 7tItis feared that
there are more persons who drank of
this wine, not knowing its deadly poison
when taken in large doses. sSs'as *

has been been passed through the web

"THE w ,lY You Always STOPPED"
The Vermont Record tells a good story
OF an innocent old lady, who never before
had Grid on arailroad," who was passen.

the time ,ofa recent collision, when a
freight train collidcd with passenger
train, smashing one of the cars, killing
several passengers and ,upsetting things

in search of'the venerable dame, whom
he found sitting solitary and alone in the

in it's very worst stages, if the patients
havenotalready been thrown beyond hope
from the effects of mistaken treatments.
As a preventive, where Cholera is rag
ing, it is sovereign if introduced into the
human system. AS curative he knows
of no other specific which would SO eff
fecluaIly resist its dessolating effects and
its subsequent cure. He has most sue
crSsfully applied it in the most desperate
cases of Cholera morbus in India, and
snatched many from the grave, when all
other medicines had batled the efforts of
The moss shilluI physicians.
As Il preventive, which places persons
beyond the reach Of this calamity and
permits many to offer their suffering
friends the aid they SO much stand in
need of, his specific is still more impor-
tant and he therefore Joins in the general
regret, that when the portentuous mo-
ment shall have unfortunately arrived, he
will not be permitted to lend a helping
hand to his afflicted fellow citizens.

D.. M. A. RAHEEM

being acquainted with the prevailing
alarm, in consequence of the rumoured
approach to, and probable visitation OF
the presidential epidemic Cholera in this
island, and against which precautionary
measures nave been ordered ny Govern
ment, regrets much the perplexity into
which the inhabitants are ut present
thrown, owing to the Monopoly of Medi-
cal praoticr, limited exclusively to the
graduates of Copenhagen, to whom alone
they would have TO look for assistance
and relief in so pressing an emergency.
What havoc therefore would this scourge
OF mankind produce upon all classes OF
this community, were the apprehension
OF so calamit0us a visitation to be truly
realized, considering the small number of
professional gentlemen and their MONACO
qIalntanre with certain specific remedies,
which vaster Countries and wider extent
of practical experience in this fearful ma
lady have placed at the disposal of other
men.
DR.. Raheem being q native of India
where not only periodically but almost
constantly with more or less virulence
this disease is prevalent among the vast
indigenous population and foreign resi-
dents and having successfully treated
numerous cases and schooIed himself
we'll into the symptoms and nature of
this fatal disorder, acquiring thereby the
knowledge OF medicines preventive and
curative, has also much 10 lament that
owing TO the restrictive measures where
by foreign physicians are excluded from
lending their aid and imparting the lights
Of their knowledge TO "a suffering COM
munity in the hour of need. He would
however at this critical moment, should
the said disease make its appearance
among rs recommend the immediate use
OF the genuine Compound Carbonized
Cholera Tincture. as the only sure and
eficacious medicine capable of resisting
the effects and of curing the Cholera even
