DR BARRY'S ACCOONT OP CHOLERA
(non THE JUDICIAL easarre.)
We subjoin an extract of a letter from Dr.
Barry, which contains the most striking and
graphic description of Cholera which has yet fallen
under our notice :

St. Petersburgb, July 20, 1831.
The disease is certainly somewhat mitigated,
both as to the number and the fatality of attacks,
though the weather has continued unchanged.
Thermometer in our apartment steadily above 70
deg. of Fahrenheit ; very little wind, and what
there is, constantly from the east, with the excep-
tion of about twenty-four hours last week.
Names for diseases or medicines, so contrived
as to constitute little definitions, are bad things.
I came here with an impression strongly fixed
upon my mind, that the essential and dangerous
features of cholera morbus were immoderate and
ungovernable vomiting and purging of a serous
fluid, violent spasms, and the exhaustion and
collapse necessarily attendant on such • state ;
consequently, that the first indication would be,
to restrain these depressing evacuations. The fact
is, however, that vomiting and purging are
amongst the least important symptoms of the pre-
sent epidemic, though the appearance of the fluid
evacuated is highly characteristic. Rice water
strained, and allowed to settle downis, when shaken
up, the best type. The evacuations, both upwards
and downwards, either soon cease, or are easily re.
pressed, while in many cases and these the very worst
there are either none, or they are very trilling.—
It is the sudden paralysis and rapidly diminishing
action of the heart, of the arteries, and of the or-
gans of respiration, with the stasis and thickening
of the blood, the loss of the power to generate
beat, that constitute the real danger of the first—
the most fatal stage of this disease. Blue, black,
fiat lines mark the course of the larger veins ; a
deadly liver colours the skin ; even the tongue is
icy cold ; the respiration is short, quick, and im-
perfect • the scrobiculus midis and diaphragm
drawn 4olently upwards and inwards ; the pulse
and voice extinct ; the limbs and belly torn with
spasms ; the hands and feet shrivelled, corrugated,
and much diminished in volume ; the reason un-
impaired. It would seem as if all the colourless
cells and vessels, upon which the turgor or plump-
ness of the integuments so much depends, were
squeezed to emptiness, and nothing left but the
thickened colouring matter of the blood. If this
state cannot be overcome in a very few hours, the
sufferer must die. Mordechi, or mort de chien, or
mort noir, would either of them, be a much more
appropriate name for this inexplicable malady, than
that by which it is at present designated. I am
now quite convinced, that neither Coleus nor
Sydenham ever saw this disease, else they surely
would not have omitted all the symptoms that I
have just enumerated.

It is in the above state, particularly if there
be violent spasm, that the magisterium bismuthi
has been found so ser►iceable, assisted by cordials,
synapisms covering the whole belly, and frictions.
Neither warm baths nor vapour baths will do.
The body is warmed by them, as a dead animal
would be, but the faculty of generating heat not
being restored, the patient cools down rapidly
again, and with increased debility. Opium appears
really to be contra-indicated, mks* to allay vomit-
ing and spasm, which the bismuth affects much
better ; and calomel they have not ventured to
give in large doses.
Two physicians (Germans), Ysenbsck and
Brailow, stated publicly and firmly yesterday, in
my presence, at the Medical Council, that during
the preceding eleven days they had treated, at the
Custom-house Hospital, thirty Cholera patients, of
whom they had not lost one. They give two
table spoonfuls of common table salt in six ounces
of hot water, at once; and one table-spoonful of
a similar mixture, cold, every hour afterwards.
They always begin by bleeding.
But in the ordinary way of treating the dis-
ease : suppose the first stage safely past ; very
rarely indeed—not five times in the hundred, does
the patient return to health without passing through
a dangerous fever, which not unfrequently assumes
a typhoid characterovith reddish-brown dry tongue;
stupor ; suffused eye ; constipated and tender belly;
dark sordes about the lips and teeth. The pulse,
however. is generally quicker, and the skin hotter,
than in primitive typhus. In this state many die
from the fourth to the seventh day, and even later.
In other cues the fever is benignant, and goes off
within the fourth day by copious perspiration.
My object is entering into this detail is to
warn you that many, sad fatal cues of the present
epidemic may occur with little or no vomiting or
purging. The shrivelling of the fingers and toes,
the colour of the skin, the shrinking of the fea-
tures, the coldness of the tongue, the feebleness or
eatiuction of the pulse and voice, the rice-water
evacuations when there are any, are the true marks
of the disease, not to be mistaken.

KING'S COLLEGE.—This institution, it is officially
announced, will open, in all its departments, during
the course of Lext month.

TUE PRESS IN GERMANY.—The Bavarian Cham-
ber of Deputies has been engaged for some days past
upon the Law of the Press. It is sought to throw off'
the fetters which were rivetted by Prussia and Aus-
tria, at the Congress of Carlsbad, upon the periodical
press of Germany.—To this effect, several of the de-
puties insisted, in energetic terms. upcn the necessity
of relieving the press from all kinds of censorship,
even with regard to foreivi affairs, which the Con-
gress wished to except. The ministry pretend that
this cannot be done without the consent of the Ger-
manic Diet ; but the deputies maintain, justly, that
no freedom can be expected from the Diet, which is
entirely composed of diplomatists ; that the Diet is
not warranted in interfering in the constitutional af-
fairs of the German States, who have derived no be.
melt from it; that each state is authorized to make
hs owe laws; and, moreover, that the Diet having
made no law in favour of the general liberty of Ger-
many. the German States still preserve the (entity of
deciding this question upon the principles now admit-
ted in the greater States.
