Newport citizens are greatly excited
over a supposed case OF cholera which
caused the death Of George W. Davis
on Saturday last, but DR.. Geo. NJ.
Doane Is endeavoring to dispol their
Tears, while DIR. j. lIprme. Kilo says
the case had every symptom OF the
dreaded disease.
Davis was stricken with sickness
Thursday afternoon. Severe cramps
at first racked his body and his family
called in DR.. Doane, who afforded the
patient temporary relief. Later, a6
the disease developed, the cramps at.
iected the muscles of the body. draw
ing them into hard knots. He vomit-
ed all the contents of his stomach and
purged all the contents of the bowels.
That was followed by discharge OF
rice water. which, according to
medical authority. contains coating
for the intestines The patient was
in cold sweat and his voice left lin.
BY this time the physician believed
the case to be ono of cholera and
knowing but little OF the dreadful
disease called into consultation DIR.
Rile. He also notified Port Physician
Springer, but when he arrived the
patient was beyond medical aid. DIR.
Doane gave certificate of death from
sporadic choleraic diarrhpa. The
physician says the disease is not con
tasious and onlyin this case was II dit
fcrent from Aslatlc cholera In order
to guard any possible spread every
thing was disinfected.
DR. Rile said that IL presented all the
symptoms OF cholera according to the
BOOKS, or course there is no physi-
clan around here who has had much
experience with the cholera. Dc. Rlle
holds that the only thing needrul to
establish that 1t was cholera, was q
microscopic examination for cholera
bacilli. III the choleIa bacilli were
found 1t would prove that cholera was
the cause of death. According to the
specialists that is the only way to as.
certain the existence of cholera, but
in former times the physicians could
only go by the symptoms and going

1t is announced that an association
of foreign capitalists is just conclud-
ing negotiations for the purchase OF
l 100000 acres of excellent cotton
lands in three adjoining counties OF
Texas, with the intention of raising
the staple on a large scale. Allud-
ing to the projected enterprise, the
Mobile Register says it is questiona-
bic whether the South should favor
the cultivation by great foreign syn
dicates, who with steam ploughs,
commissary stores, picking machines
and oil compress, will be able to re-
duce the cost of making cotton SO
low as to drive out of the race the
individual farmer and mule. "Syn-
dieates might make good interest, !"
says the Register, con their invest
ment with cotton at five cents a
pound, but what Will become of the
great multitude of small farmers? 1t
might be better for them to go back
to hog and hominy and raising hay
and mules, but it seems to us that
the wealth and prosperity OF the
South is in the Independent and in

mule and runs his own press. .

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR GRIP.

w. Tertsh Lander, pf WILLIAMSON,
S. c., furnishes the Columbia .S'ate
with the following remedy for the
grip:
A year ago, when the influenza or
grip was so prevalent. [ noticed
report on the disease from one of the
besa hospitals of Europe. This hos
pital is in Edinburgh, Scotland. At
the time OF the report hundreds OF
influenza cases had been treated
there. After fighting the epidemic
with varying success, a happy acci-
dent led the superintendent to adopt
an alkaline treatment with an extreme
case that was brought in. y full
dose of saleratus was given every
two hours. Although the patient
was in convulsions when brought in,
she became quicter a short time after
the first dose; and only three doses
were given before the patient was
clearly on the way TO recovery. IN
three days she was counted well.
This same simple treatment was then
followed with a thousand, not one Of
whom died. Best Of all, not only was
the influenza promptly cured, but
there was no unpleasant or danger
Gus symptoms following recovery.
1t has been observed that not more
die OF the influenza that what may
follow it.
From some work in my chemical
laboratory, carried on before this
report came out, had concluded
that the influenza was at least asso-
ciated with excessive acidy of the
system, if it was not caused by this
abnormal state. | was so certain of
the correctness of this view that, on
being thrown in bed myself with the
influenza, treated myself only with
alkaline drinks to counteract the
acid. The result was that instead Of
two or three weeks OF punyness, |
missed only one day from work.
The success with my own case was
so astonishing that | have been called
to treat other cases; and of about
twenty-five treated, very few have
had to give ur work more than a
day-some not at all.
Not being a physician, I should
feel some hesitancy in offering my
cure, il after had begun to try it,
it had not received the high endorse
ments quoted.
At first, l used the carbonate of
lithia, which is the best of the a]kalis
for the purpose. But as my practice
Gall charity enlarged, / left so ex-
pensive drug, and contented myself
with the carbonate of potash and
soda. These found practically as
good as the lithia.
For the sake of the suffering pub
lie, would say that the dose | have
used for grown patients has been a
level teaspoon Of baking soda, dis
solved in plenty of water, taken
Eevery two hours until soreness and
headache are gone, and then one
extra dose for good measure. It is
not best to take dose just before or
Just after: eating. I have rarely
