An Alleged Cure for Cholera.

To THE EDITOR: Having had large expe-
rience in cholera in the East, and having to
contend with enteric diseases here, l thought
/ would send you the following preventive, as
the old saw, ian ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure" is applicable here. l will
guarantee that if the following is used, no
cholera or Summer diarrheas will affict the
party trying the same: Iodoform and camphor
worn in bag over the stomach, at all times
will keep off cholera, malaria, typhoid fevers.
Adding podophyllon to the compound, you
have an anti-bilious compound. Injections OF
sulphur water, hyperdermically, will cure diar-
rhea in children or adults, and by adding fluid
extract of ippecac in dysentery, you have a
sure cure for that also Iodoform, sulphate OF
hydrastin, and white sugar win cure nasal ca
tarrh. send you these as tried friends, and
because wish to help THE TRIBUNE to do
good to the afflicted, as it is doing so nobly by
the old solder.-H. ]. BREWER, M. D., Apopka,

The " Regulars

To THE EDITOR: There is small class of
gallant soldiers from whom l have never heard
through the columns of your excellent paper.
They are the faithful few who enlisted in the
Regular Army in 1860, and remained true to
their country and flag when so many of their
officers deserted them and took service in the
so-called Confederacy. At the outbreak Of the
war they were the only thoroughly disciplined
thin line that stood up heroically between
armed rebellion and unarmed loyalty, and
firmly held the flag floating until the great
volunteer wave came to their rescue. We find
them bleeding and dying on every field from
Sumter to Five FOrks-unnoticed, lost in the
immensely of the struggle. Those noble few
never asked or received a bounty, and were
obliged to take their small pay in greenbacks,
sometimes worth but 40 cents per dollar, when
their agreement with the Government in 1860
was to receive dollars worth one hundred cents,
or gold and silver, no other money being then
known to our Government. Now, in the name
of justice and honor, has the Government
treated those men JUSTIFY Why pay gold to
the man who loaned his money and greenbacks
to the man who gave his blood? am quite
sure that there are not 200 of those men living
to-day. Let our next Congress place them on
the retired list" and 100000 of people will
applaud.-JAMEs o. BYRAM, Olalla, Ore.

To produce new growth of hair
