The cause of Cholera is always found in de-
ranged state Of the digestive fluids particularly
the bile which has been put in disorder by eli
matte or other atmospheric causes. The hillary
ducts are thus prevented from fulfilling their
functions and consequently the whole circula-
ton is thrown into disorder The more ones

we become the victims of ASlAIlC. CHOL-
ERA
Asiatic Cholera is terrible complaint; it
takes its victims with rapidity un knownt to any
other malady the slightest neglect against san
itary rules is almost surely punished with death.
Yet Cholera is durable, like other diseases,
and in this Elixir we possess a remedy which is
q perfect safeguard against it. Experience in
thousands of cases, particularly in 1850, in Ger
many, and in the Cholera season just past in
has proved the use of PROF. w UNDRUM1S
