"Among other matters resorted to by the ia
Guilty to stay the progress of this terrible dis
ease, one has been published of so singular a
character, that we do not hesitate to extract
the statement into our columns. 1t is contain
ed in a letter from Mr.. Richard Laming, of
| No. As, Finsbury Square, district in which
the ravages OF the plag e have been very great,
Mr.. Laming says:
III have lately employed Musk in several Gu
SEES of Cholera with success so uniform ard
decisive, as to make its introduction, desirable,
without loss of time, to the notice of the whole
profession, &c.
The sautary influence of the first dose OF
musk will be found to become manifest by
greatly mitigating, in very few minutes, and
in many cases, by etfectually removing the
cramps, the purging and vomiting. My plan
has been to give at once fifteen grains, rubbed
into draught with a lump of sugar and a
wine glass full of cold water; and ] am Justlfi
ed in reporting that this first step, if taken
promptly, will scarcely ever fail to arrest the
progress of the disease, so as to lead the patlen
to easy and ordinary conva!escence, &c. y
evident is the action of musk in Cholera, thai
the practitioner will experience no difficulty in
determining whether he need repeat its exhibit
ton, on whether, having subdued the immedl'
ate cause of the disease by the dose, he should
direct his attention to the removal OF lis CON
sequences by the ordinary means. ~. Y. A

freshness of novelty about it. For the more
exact information of our readers, we have co
