Hog Cholera Remedy.

To the Editor ojf Tie Daily Item
In connection with the present
great interest in hog raising will you
say word for US to the farmers :?
We have prescription that is said
to be an iniallble cure for hog chol-
era # this be true no one can esti-
mate the amount Of money that its
use would save TO ou: people We
are so anxious to have it thoroughly
tested that we offer to send enough
Of the treatment for ten cases q
cholera TO the first farmer fros. each
post Office in South Ca.o;jna, who
during the month Of April sends to
US for it and enclosss ten cents in
stamps to pay the cost of postage
We send the medicine without
charge upon the condition that the
recipient will advise US of the results
he secures from it's use. If t.. the
remedy will successfully pass the test
of trial by a different man at each
post Office in the State We think its
efficacy will have been proved. 1t
has already been used by few of
! our acquaintances, and without
single failure to cure, SO far as we
have been advised We are not
satisfied, however, with few trials,
bus whichever may be the result,
whether it be proved TO be infallible
or not, we wish it speedily and
thoroughly tested. We can not de-
wise any other plan that will do this
so successfully as the one we here
propose.
We trust that you V regard It as
within the scope Of yonr paper to
bring this offer to the attention Of
your readers
Yours very truly,
y. O Brice & Co.

LONDON, July 30.--A dispatch to the

private advices received from Madrid
state the existence of secret Cuban
committee has been discovered there
and that certain Cuban eXilcs who were
in Madrid have vanished. 1t has also
been discovered, the adviceS say, that

suit of certain acts of insubordination
among the last 600 men embarked
for Cuba and the discovery that secret
proclamations We're being circulated
among the soldiery. and in view of the
notorious reluctance of the troops to
go to Cuba, the rein force ments, 1000
strong, who will be embarked at the
end of August, will he shipped without
arms, through fear OF mutiny among
them. and their arms will be forwarded
by other vessels.
The advices also state that desertions
from the army are numerous, especial
ly in Aragon. Fear is entertained by
the authorities that disorders will
occur in connection with the dispatch
ing of reinforcements for the Spanish
forces in Cuba, and elaborate precau-
tions are being take to prevent trouble.
