The Lords of the Council have Just received
an intimation that the Bishop of London has
directed the Clergy of his diocess in no case
to permit the bodies of pers ons dying of Chol-
|era. to be carried into the church previous to
interment
Among the propositions made respecting the
cholera, is plan proposed by the physician,
for families to contract, at a fixed price per
quarter, to have daily medical visits, to regu-
late the general health of the household. This
plan must produce good results.
DIR. White, of Gateshead, in letter publish
ed by him, states that the most general premon-
|itory symptoms, in cases of Cholera are, first,
Il 10 tl,.. 4ba con,r,a,ca
lment, of dark brown or blackish hue, gradual,
lily becoming less and less feculent, until they
assume the appearance of dirty water Slight
cramps, most frequently Of the toes, twitching
of the abdomen, with giddiness and sickness
accompanying The treatment
which DIR. White has found SO beneficial in
combating these symptoms, is expressed in the
following extract
81 observed particularly the benefit deriva
BILE from washing the whole body with warm
water, and afterwards producing genial glow
upon the serviceby frictions with coarse cloths.
l was induced to adopt this plan for two rea-
sons. First from the known sympathy between
the stomach and bowels and the skin; and sec
ondiy, because | am of opinion that strong
injecting medium exists in the filth allowed to
accumulate upon the persons of the poor, their
clothes absorbing the noxious exhaiations that
float around in contaminated atmosphere, thus
presenting the contaneous pores, if / may
SO express myself, perfect plaster of infec-
tion."
