Symptoms of Cholera. Cholera may
be known by the"fbllbwing8ymptom3,
divided into three stages of the disease:

chest and cramps; cadaverous, earthly
odor of body; cold, . clammy perspira
tion; extremities numbed and devoid
of warmth; frequent moaning, and all
secretion of urine stopped.
-TaEATMSNT. The following mixture
should be kept at hand in every family;
it is a remedy, approved by mauy .ol
the leading physicians of bur city, and
may be relied upon: : " " ?
Prescription. Take of gum cam
phor 24rachmschloroform 2 drachms;
dissolve the cdmphor in the chloro
form, and add to the solution tincture
of opium denareotized, J ounce; tinc
ture of ginger, ounce; sirup of acacia,
6i ounces, and mix the whole together
with vigorous agitation. " i
1 Directions. For Adults in ' - First
Stage- Administer two teaspbonsfal of
the above mixture in-any , bland fluid
without delay; give a cup of hot tea;
apply bottles of hot. water to the abdo
men, feet and h body. Should warmth
or'1 relief not follow in a quarter of an
hour,-agdiin give a teaspoonf ul Of the
mixture rIf thirst ensue, as much cold
water, if preferred, as desired." Keep
the body well covered, to induce per
spiration. -- ; -
- Second Stage Should : the first stage
lapse into the second, increase the fre
quency of the dose, giving a teaspoon-
iui every ten minuies until tne puise
rises, becomes fuller and stronger; the
cramps, vomiting and purging miti
gated, and breathing less embarrassed.
Gave warm, demulcent drinks; avoid
stimulating ones. If food can be re
tained, plenty of fresb, strong soup,
beef tea, arrowroot indeed, anything
wished for of a wholesome, nourishing
character. ,
Third Stage Give the mixture in
doses varying from a half to a tea-
spoonfnl every few minutes, so as to
allay spasms - and assist in restoring
the secretion of urine and capillary
circulation. Let the sufferer occasion
ally breathe or blow through a glass
tube in a bottle of lime water; if im
provement take place, the lime water
will change to a milky appearance,
show the liberation of pent-up carbonic
acid in the system. By watching the
progressive advance or retrogression
of the disease in such a manner at this
critical period, the most hopeless case
need not be despaired of. v -
The directions above given presume
be disease to pass through all the
stages from the first. Should the sec
ond stage be developed before relief
is at hand, two or three teaspoonfuls
will be the dose to begin with. And
should it also happen that the third
stage be the period at which treat
ment commences, three or four tea-
spoonfuls of the mixture should be at
once administered without a moment's
delay. In all other respects -j the . in
structions should be persistently .car
ried out. . r - a
It should be borne in mind that
here are many cases of cholera in
which there are no premonitory symp
toms. ' : . -

FOOD MEDICINE; ! '
Dr. Hall relates the case of a man
who was cured of his biliousness by
going .without his supper ,and drink
ing, freely of lemonade. E very morn
ing, says the doctorthis patient a'pso
with a wonderful sense of rest and re
freshment, and a feeling as though tho
blood , had been i literally washed,
cleansed and cooled by jthe. leinonao
and the fast. r His theory. is that food
will bo used as a remedy; for tn'any
diseases successful yP1 As an example,
he cures casesof spitting of blood by
the use of salt; epilepsy and yellow
fever by watermelons;; kidney .affec
tions by celery; poisons, olive or
sweet, oil; erysipelas, .pounded cran
berries applied to tho parts affected ;
hydrophobia, onions, &o. So the way
to keep in good health is really to
know what to eat not to know what
medicines to take.
BRITISH WAR IN WEST AFRICA.
Great Britain is drifting into a lar
ger war in West Africa than was gen
eral y suspected. The conflict which
has been raging botween tho rantocs
and the Ashantoes during 'some-con
siderable time past threatens the safe
ty of British territory at Cane Coast
Castle . A Cabinot Council convened
at Downing street yesterday for tho
consideration of the situation. Min
isters decided to despatch Sir Garret
Wolseley,- with a staff of distinguished
subalterns, to the interior of West
Africaand to reinforce and consoli
date the royal forces now sorting at
tho station. Queen Victoria will ally
her power with that of the Fantees.
Her Majesty's troops will march in
ward irom tho coast to the Beat of tho
native tribal was, and, it is hoped, will
return to the'shoro lino head quarters
in March, 1874. -Tho Asbanteos must
be driven back and the palatial town
of Coomassie be burned; if necessary
for the more rapid furtherance of tho
Anglo African'operations.
COTTON WORMS IN ALABAMA .
.i
The Montgomery Advertiser- says :
" The worm is more destructive whero
not chocked by Paris green' than ever
before known. They mako clean
sweep of fields in half the time which
they have heretofore allowed them
selves. No matter how much Paris
green may be used, tho crop in Mont
gomery Lowlands and Bullock "will bo
short far beyond expectation. Wo
have in our office a stalk of cotton
pulled up at random yesterday by a
gentleman who was coming ' into
Montgomery from Union Springs.
It was out of a field of about ten miles
from the city, which averages -five or
six feet in height. The worms, judg
ing from this specimen, and we are
assured it is a fair saraplofof the en
tire field, will leave nothing to pick.
We learn that the people of CaldweU uill
