FRENCH DISCOVER CURE FOR
CHOLERA.

Paris.--A cure for cholera, the
deadllest scourge known to science,
has been discovered by three French
physicians attached to the Tunis
branch of the Pasteur Institute, &C
cording to information given out here.
Three scientists, DR.. Nicoll, DR.. Con-
or and DR.. Conseil, risked their lives
in making the tests by innoculating
themselves with cholera germs. The
newly discovered serum was admin
istered and all three of the doctors
recovered.
