L.
!. This disease appears, at present, to be on
she decline in the different towns in the state
where it recently made great havoc. No
serious apprehensious are felt by the citizens
OF this place and the surrounding country, &
we hope that. we may escape its visitation
altogether.
AT Jacksonville, cholera has almost en-
tirely disappeared, and the town is now con-
sidered as healthy as usual ct this season
Of the year.
We ought not, however, to relax our ex
ertions in using the necessary precautions,
in our habits and mode of living, without
which, we may yet witness serious conse-
quences.
For the benefit Of those who may be at
lacked with cholera, we insert the following
extract of letter from Judge HALL, now Of
Cincinnati, 10 ii gentleman in this place,
relative to It's treatment. 1t will be percel-
we'd that the writer speaks from experience,
" hich is always safer guide than theory:
'The Cholera has been worse at Cincin-
natl than it was last fall, and has swept
through the surrounding country. 1t is now
(July 29,) rapidly subsiding. l had it ii.
Louisville, on return from visit to my
friends in Kentucky, as bad as ever any man
had it, who iecoyered. In ten minutes /
was pronounced past recovery. Twas bIed
TO lainting, (almust 30 ounces) and bed "a
second time after three or four hours, 30
ounces rore. took III "a hours, 500 grains
Of calomel, and drank ice water, and eat ice,
from the beginning, in large quantities.
! This is now the treatment in Louisville. and
is universally successful. They do not lose
case there, if a physician arrives in time
to draw blood. The bleeding, however,
must be copious Moderate bleeding is ia
tai. The Ice-waier Is used to subdue the
nausea. | mention this practice, for the
purpose Of recommending it to my friends
in Vandalia, should the cholera get there
Blisers and external hot applications are al
$50 used but nothing stimulant or warm Civ
en- internally. If the case is bad, calomel
lis given By the tea-spoonful! Brandy is
recommended in broken doses as "a proven
tive, or in the premonitory stage. But if
ever you get it at Vandalia, let me beg you
jail, to be bled copiously as soon as taken,
take calome!, and driak freely Of cold wa
ler.''
