-Remedy for Cholera. '
The British Ambassador. at Vienna,
Lord Ponsonby, in a letter to bis broth•
er, the Bishop of Derry. states, that to
his . knowledge, dissolved camphor
proved to be ace :thin cure for cholera,
both at Paris and in Germany ; and if
taken in time, thecure is generally dice
ted before it is possible to procure a
physician—that is, in less than an hour!
In cora:illation of this, J. 'l'. Duncan,
E'sq., alt einin l ent medical authority at
Edinburg, states that he found Sir
ladies Murray's 'Fluid Camphor by far
the most effectual preparation. A wine
glais full every five minutes produced
warm perspiration, and a manifest de
crease of sickness and of cramps, with a
rapid revival of spirits and circulation-
Ai a preventive, he has supplied this
fluid extensively to the poor, and with
in r
l iv
ked advantages in restoring and
Pr serving good digestion and nervous
,
en rgy. essential guards against the
eh lera.
.; a may add, that' "Camphorated -
Emulsion" was used as an ordinary
ternedy in Philadelphia in the cholera
'Of 1832, and inmany cases with advau
i
tage. A physician informs 'us, says
the Pinnssavania , Inquirer, that the
proportions, as follows, may be obtained
at any :drugstore:_
GumiCamphor, one dricturi. ,
Gum,Arabic and White Sugar, each
two dmchmi. ,
' Water, from five to six ounces.
Sp. Lavender Compound, half an
ounce.. •
' . -
Laudanum, sixty drops ;
Of this
,take a tablespoonful occa
sionally,until relieved.
in all cases however, a physician
should be seat,for as soon as possible.
As this epidemic is now know to have
already Appeared i'in Philadelphia, and
is rapidly spreading over the country,
it behoovesall to be cautious and to pre
pare themselves in case it should make
its appearance among us. ,

At this season of the year, and espe
cially during the prevalence of the
Cholera, many of the inhabitants of the
cities are seeking places to spend the
season of hot summer. Withont intend

those coming into the countrY to make
it, their summer residence. Satiated on

are sure, will'be of much service not on

We have , been requested.by a
Baptist in Wilkes Barre - to copy the
Address of the Baptist Church', lately
published in that place, respecting the
controversy in relation to the' Circular
which appeared in our paper sometime
in last March. The Address alluded to
is a statement made by the church re
futing the charges 'alleged against El•
der Hewett, its Paster, by the "Advo
cate." To this address the editor diktat
paper has replied:
'We refer to this matter thus publicly ,
because we lievedecided to abstain from
any farther action in the controversy;
believing that under the present circum
stances it would be productive of no
good. Our private feelings have been
'enlisted in the subject only so far . Efts to
prompt us to do what we considered our
duty ;' and anything more would be do
ing injustice to our readers, many of
whom, if not all, have' no part or lot in
the subject matter of thediscuSsien.
In reference to the Circular, which
has been the means of so much trouble
and discussion, we have heretofore giv
en our reasons for making it public;
and it is only necessary to say here that
we had no other motive in its publica
tion, than an ever ready and cheerful
willing,ness_
,to promote the designs of
Christianity and Morality. We much
regret its effects; we did not see at the
time any evil design manifested in the
Circular, nor do we yet believe that
any harm %vas. intended.
A State Convention of Editors and
publishers is proposed, to be held al
Utica or Syracuse. the coming summer.
We "go". for the Convention, hoping it
may be held, and think it will result in
much good to publishers of country pa
pers and the public, if it_ is held.
The above we clip from one of our
New York exchanges, for the purpose
of suggesting such a convention in this
State. There are many matters in our
business that need reforrif, and we think
a Printer's State Convention would be
the most feasible way ofdoing it: Breth
