The New Cure for Cholera.

Great interest is just now felt in the sue.
cessful cure of cholera by DR.. Rubini, OF
Naples. Camphor, as a cure for cholera, has
long bsen used by both schools of medicine,
and DR.. Rubini's innovation consists IN the
mode of preparing the remedy. The essent
ial facts of the case are thus stated:
DIR. Rubini's preparation consists of equal
parts, by weight. of camphor and spirits, and
to the power thus obtained he attributes his
success in the treatment Of the disease. And
here may say that the quantity of camphor
which water will take up is small. To OBJ
tain, therefore, the Saturated spirits OF
camphor of Rubini," it is necessary TO distil
spirits of wine, and get rid OF so much OF it's
water as will bring it to 90 degrees over
proof in which condition it will dissolve and
hold in solution its own weight OF camphor.
With this saturated spirits OF campher,
Dr. Rubini. an eminent Nespolitan physi-
clan, has treated in Naples 592 cases of Asi-
attic cholera without the loss of single pa
tent. OF these 592 cases 200 were cured In
the royal aims house; IL in the royal poor
house, and los in the third Swiss regiment
of Wolf The method of cure 10 as follows
when q man is seized with the cholera he
should at once" says Rubini, ''le down, be
we'll wrapped up In blankets, and take, every
Ave minutes, four drops of the saturated tine
turc vi cainPnoH' IL wy sSFSl' 49,
dose ought to be increased to from i've &c
twenty drops every FIVE minutes. In the
| case of man of advanced age, accustomed
| to take wine and spirits, where the drug
taken in drops has no effect, give small
coffee spoonful every FIVE minutes, aid in Q
very short time the coveted reaction will
occur Ordinarily, in two, three, or foul
hours, abundan, perspiration will come
| out aud then cure will follow" The pre-
ventive method" writes DR.. Rubin, lis this
Let those who are in good health, while liv'
ing in accordance with the usual habits, TAKE
every day FIVE drops of the saturated spirits
of camphor upon a small lump of sugar
water must never be used or the camphol
will become solid, and it's curative properties
cease) and repeat the dose three or four time
day. Spices, aromatic herbs, coffee, tea
and spirituous liquors should be avoided. -
