nothing Of the loss Of life, the desola-

hearts caused BY actual war. Mr..
Richard argued that the value Of the
labor withdrawn from industry by
standing armies amounted at least to
$3.50, 600, 900. If such n plan for the

More than forty years ago, when it
was found that prevention for the
Asiatic cholera was easier thar cure,
the learned doctors of both hcmis-

Of the "Sun CHOLERA mixture"

publishing this prescription, declares
that it has seen the remedy in constant
use for nearly two score years. and
found it to be the best remedy for

No one who has this by him, and takes

Even when no cholera is anticipated,
it IS an excellent remedy for ordinary
summer complaint.
An experienced western physician,
DR.. Henry Gunoweith, writes to the
Louisville Courier.Journal, giving the
results Of his observations in the
OF the cholera during the
summers OF lS49 and so, and at sub
sequcnt periods. One of the first
noted was that there was in
many, if not in all cases, an entire sus-
pension OF the digestive functions.
This was evidenced by the fact that
patients often threw up articles of food
which had been undigcsted in their
stomachs for twenty four or thirty-six ]
hours. Acting upon this idea, he is '
