Hog Cholera, Editor Star: I have a cholera cure, that so far as I know has never been published, and believ ing that it should be known by every person, if you will kindly allow me space I will make it known through the columns of the Star to your many readers. The late Major ,W. P. Emanuel of Marlboro, while sheriff of that county, was at my house one day and noticing the great number of banyards in the woods near by, asked what they were after, and on being told my hogs were dying with cholera, said he would give me a remedy that would cure them but it was so simple he doubted my giving it a trial, but he was mistaken in this man. I tried the remedy carefully and have used it, more or less every year since, for 25 years with great success. I have treated my hogs with the remedy while running in the same pasture with my neigh bor’s hogs; all of their hogs dying and mine escaped the disease. In fact, I have not loat a hog in 25 years. The Major told me he got the remedy from an old negro, though it was no less effective on that account. Dig up the root of Puke or Shoke. Poke is the name every one know it by, and it grows on every farm. Wash the root, chop up in small bits, put it in a pot with water and boil tender. Then mash up fine like boiled potatoes and put in your slop; not only the root, but the water the root was boiled in too; give your hogs big once a day, say a quart of the raw out up root to 4 hogs. If you have any too sick to eat, try and get some down them. Attend to this yourself, don’t send Tom, Dick, or Harry; they don’t care and will half do it, or not do it at all, and your dogs will die and you will say the remedy is no good. From close observation I am convinced that cholera is a dis ease of the blood, and ia a well- known fact that the tea of Poke root is a splendid blood purifier. W. A. Galloway, Mallory, S. C. P.S. I will add that it is good also for chicken cholera, given in their feed once a day; but if your chicken house is filthy, clean out good and look carefully after the drinking water and you need not wait till all your chickens die but one old rooster.
