We published an aFticle from an Edinburg
paper respecting a remedy for the Cholera, IN
the last aud most dangerous stage of the dis
ease: The following is copied from the Lir-
erpool Chronicle of june Cd, which shows
That the experiment mentioned in. the Scot
tish practice, had been tried 10 Liverpool with
success. Seeing this repeated so often, we
cannot but think that in case of this desperate
nature, trial ought to be made. 1t would
seem that no injury can arise from it, and it
is at least possible that it may prove be-
neficial. I" : -
A CURE FOR TUE CHOLERA.
We had begun to fear that this formidable
Pestilence, for which so many preparations
were made, and for the arrival of which SO
many of our medical friends waited with the
Impotence Of the war horse straining for the
battle, was about to leave us ignorant of its
treatment as it found us. But we have Just
been relieved from our apprehensions on this
point by intelligence ola remedy equally nov
IL and extraordinary and what is still more
remarkable, it appears that our friendss the
Lrlthers, heretofore reckoned at least half a
century behind US, have. had the merit, if not
Of discovering, at least Of frst reducing this
discovery to practice. DR.. Latta, of Leith, is
the gentleman, we understand, who first APP
piled this new remedy the original proposer
having been Dr.. O'Shagnessy, of London
The latter physician, it seems, was struck
with the remarkable deficiency in the serum
ct the blood of a cholera patient. This Pc
cnarity suggested to him the practice to
which we have alluded, which consists, as il
has been described to us, of throwing into the
blood vessels a quantty of water. with salt
and albumen, (tbe white of an egg) sufficient
to supply the deficiency in the blood Of these
materials occasioned, it appears, by the Cho!-
era excavations. The quantity Of aqueous
f1nd which may be added to the circulating
blood ia this extraordinary disease, not only
wih~impunity, but with effects almost mrac-
,lous, is hardly credible. What will our read
ers say to 40 pounds of salt and water being
pumped into mans veins within "a hours;
while the patient, instead Of sinking under
this deluge, has his pulse restored, and from
the jaws Of death is placed in a fair way of
recovery.
The effect or this new practice is described
to ms as peculiarly interesting. A patient is
lying on his back, cold and blue, sunk in the
lowest stage Of collapse. The pulse is gone
the breathing oppressed, and the only ind
catien of vitality is, an occasional paroxysm OF
spasm. A vein is opened, and the point Of a
syringe being introduced, salt and water, of
pounds being transfused, as it is called.
AS this new element is added to the circula.
ting blood, the countenance RECEIVERS its color
the lips become red and hlll-the eye bright
ens-the, spasms cease; the pulse returns and
becomes steady. the patient begins to talk
and joke--his whole body warms-his thirst
is relieved, and when the operation is over he
falls into quiet sleep. Such is the descrip-
ton we have heard of this very extraordinary
discovery, and we understand that both at
the Leith and in the Drummond-stree Hos
pitfalls there are patients ia cenyalescent
state. into whose veins from eight to forty
pounds Of salt and water have been thrown.
After this who shall say that there is nothing
new under the sun ?-Caledonian Mercury. 4

The Washington Globe says BY notice
from the Secretary of the Treasury, it will be
seen that the three per cent. stock of the Uni

Two similar notices were issued by the
Secretary at the beginning Of the present
mouth, one for the payment Of the exchanged
FIVE per cents, Of goth of April, 1879, and the
other for the pay ment of one half of the ex-
changed four and half per cents Of 26th
May, 1924, both payable on the 1st Of Janu-
