HYMN.

ON ACCOUNT OF THE CHOLERA.
Spare Mighty God, in mercy spare,
The creatures Of thy sovereign will,
Sweep Natures poison from the air,
And say in pity-"Peace! be still.
Mid gloomy fears from day TO day
Thy creatures live, Eternal King,
Oh chase their gloomy thoughts away
And shield them with thy mighty wing
Let not the scourge Of Asia sweep
Der fair Columbia's wide domain,
But lull the poisonous blast TO sleep
Or waste it on the western main.
Hear us thy Guilty creatures, Godl
Let mercy he thy motto still,
But if we need thy Christening rod
Fit us! Oh fit US! for thy will.
Thus shall the sons of Earth rejoice
BY land and flood, with one accord:
And every heart and every voice
Shall sing the goodness of the Lord.

GA great and most desirable article in
system for the preservation of health,
is, the purifying ofrooms from air which
has been respired for length of time.
By experiment it has been found that
the air of rooms that have been slept in,
is very insalubrious and probably more
so than the air of privies, which is found
to contain less noxious air than was for
merly supposed. See Encyclopedi, art.

bic whether there is any accessory con-
neXion between offensive smells and in
salubrity. Nature has kindly provided
that dead feces should not be very per-
nicious to health but the eiIluvia ofliv-
ing and fermenting bodies are TO be a.
voided as rank poison. In this respect
cleanliness is made essential to health"

The last number of the Journal of
Health. contains the following =
Eat moderately of plain wholesome
food. The system demands much less
amount Of food in summer than in win
Ter; the sensation Of hunger or emptiness
should, however, be avoided but let
whatever aliment is taken be PLAIN, light
and easy of digestion.
Fresh meat, in moderation, is TO be
preferred in warm weather, TO that
which is sailed, dried or smoked. 1t is
perfectly absurd to suppose, as some do,
that the latter constitutes more whole
some food in summer than fresh meat
On the contrary, sailed, dried, and smoll-
ed meats, are less nutritious, more stimu-
lating, and less easy of digestion than
fresh meat, consequently they have
greater tendency to excite and disturb
the stomach.-Fred. Her.

CHOLERA TREATMENT.-Dr John w.

era patient named Patrick Gurrie, in the
last stage of collapse, and there was no

We learn that the injection of salt and
""tSi i"ioCu W DIoou neat, INTO the veins,
in the case of patients in the blue stage
OF the cholera, was tried yesterday at
the General Hospital, and that it was
attended with the most satisfactory re-
suits, immediate improvement being per-
ceptIble in the patient, who has since
continued in convalescent state. The
quantity injected was 10 OF. to IA. that
being found sufficient. 1t was compos-
ed ola saturated solution of common salt
and water, in equal quantities, raised to
50 of Fahrenheit.
The plan which has been partially a.
doPted in New York, of injecting sa-
line solutions into the veins of cholera
patients, has been found eminently haz-
ardous and uncertain. We have seen
letter from one of the most skilful and
learned physicians of that city, in
which it is stated that of Mirty cases,
in which that kind of treatment had
been adopted, only tco had survived,

SPIRITS OF CAMPHOR.

The following is an extract from let
ter published in the New York Courier
and Enquirer.
"Let it not be imagined that the va
lidity of this statement rests upon one or
ten individuals. 1t is a statement which
courts the investigation of every unpre-
JUDGED mind, and which will be sustain.
ed by the voices Of at least five hundred
impartial witnesses of the efficacy ofthe
cdmphOr treatment. Let those who still
doubt, and who are affected with any of
the usual premonitory symptoms, make
trial of one to three drops only of the IN
mired spirits of camphor in little wat

two, for few hours only, carefully "a
voiding improper diet, all other medi-
cine, and especially erery form Of opium,

without the aid of physician.
The writer has had his cherished the
Dries and maintained them with as much
zeal as most of his professional brethren.
But, if he had not learned before, his
observations within the last few week
had most convincingly taught him, that
it is the sacred and imperative duty oil
the physician in all cases of disease in
which his theory fails him, to abandon
lit, and seek the health and safety of his
patient1n any course, (however simple,
| and however counter to his preconceived
views which experience hiss stamped
as adequate to the emergency. And
if this be so, where only his individual
principles fail can he hesitate moment
when disease is present which battles all
theories, and in great proportion of ca
ses, bids defiance to every treatment they
have dictated.
