The New Cure for Cholera.

The LONDON correspondent Of the

new preparation for the cholera, which
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, The
quantity of camphor which the water
will take up is small. To obtain the
saturated spirits of camphor or Rubini,
it is necessary to distill spirits of wine,
and rid Of so much of its water as
will bring it to 90 degrees over proof,
| whicl, condition it will dissolve and
hold in solution its W weight of cam
phor. With this " saturated spirits OF
calnphor," DR.. Rubini has treated in
Naples, five hundred and ninety two
cases Of Asiatic cholera without the
loss of a single patient. OF these five
hundred and ninety-two cases, two hun

eleven in the royal poor house, and
one hundred and sixty-six in the Sd
