When cured, my cholera's becoming teary! (10)
I believe the answer is:
lachrymose
'teary' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'when cured my cholera's' is the wordplay.
'when cured' indicates anagramming the letters.
'my'+'choleras'='mycholeras'
'mycholeras' with letters rearranged gives 'LACHRYMOSE'.
'becoming' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for lachrymose that I've seen before include "In bits" , "showing sorrow" , "Tearful (literary)" , "Sad" , "This is given to crying" .)
