Cure for dysentery or flux.

Editors Dispatch: I send you a prescription for dysentery or flux, in its incipient stages, which is very effective on Southern plantations, and which is much used. It is probable our troops will suffer from this disease, and a simple and safe remedy, which is commonly within the reach of all, may be the means of saving many valuable lives, and preventing much suffering. If you think proper, give it a place in your widely-circulated journal.

Prescription:

One gill of common molasses, mixed with an equal quantity of water; take at one does, and repeat, if necessary, in three or four hours. In seven cases out of ten one does will be sufficient to effect a cars, it taken on the first day of the attack.
