prehenslon being felt. vi course we do not
advise people to neglect any proper precau-
tons TO preserve health. The unusual
character of the weather makes precaution
both wise and necessary, if cholera had ne
yer been heard of.
The CHoIERA,-Almoste every paper we pick up
contains half dozen infalble prescr ptions for the
cure of the cholera. The Chicago Journal of the
20h has the following:
SOVEREIGN REMEDY-We learn our young
friend, Dr. J. H. Bird by anal wing the atmosphere,
and other experiments, has succeeded in detecting
the poison lurking in it, which produce cholera,
and has found its antidote We not enough of
D" medicine man > TO Judge of the matter, but
have the testimony Of numbers Of friends who have
been prejsposed 10 cholera, who have found relief
from the Drs prescription, and are informed by
physicians OF the highest standing IN the city, who
have administered it in the advanced stages of the
disease, OF lis triumphant success.
In the course OF the week it will be thoroughly
tested when if found TO be what is sangunely clal-
med for it, DR.. Bird proposes to place il within the
reach of every enc.
We may add, That Drs, Blaney and IIerrick who
have tested this antitode, express themselves conf
denIly of its success.
We learn that the recipe for preparing this pre-
paraion has been received by Nlessrs Sawyer & Co
and probtbly Others Of our druggists where it can
be had.
Among the multitude of infallible prescriptions
we think some folks may find it difficult to choose.
We can give no advice on the subject but we think
the necessity OF resortins TO any of them may be
very generally avoided. Don't be alarmed, but
keep along about as usual, being careful however to
avoid exposure to damp or cod. The best opinion
appears TO be, that cholera results from some dis
turblng cause in the atmosphere, whereby the equi-
librium between the system and the atmosphere is
destroyed, when like a watch in which the mair
spring has been broken, the system runs down with
whz, and stops. The object them would seem
to be TO keep up the system TO its full tone. Ii
you have been ndulgng in VICIOUS courses, it is too
late reform in view, Of tho e,o'..a had
better go right along and perhaps you'll so ashore
and perhaps you won't, but the chances are rather
course you don't want TO alter them. Take some
extra care to guard against cold and dampncss, but
in other respects keep along as usual. Especially
avoid all causes of excitement Or depression; don
get frightened; il is the worst thing in the world
and does no kind of good and don't Gil the system
with poisonous drngs preventive, for nothing
will quicker destroy its tone and render it liable to
attack. II you have the symptoms, and have not
confidence in your own skill 10 alay them, consult
some person in whom you have confidence If the
worst comes to the worst and you are called upon
70 quit things subunary recollec it is appointed to
all men once TO die, and only once 1t is but a
question of time-a delay of few years or months
or days The eyes that weep over you will soon
be closed beside you--thc hand that clasped yours
SO thringy at parting you VIII soon again clasp
in more loving and lasting embrace, in Paradise,
and the many chords of affection which have been
torn asunder, will soon agaih IL united to know
the pain of parting no more. Death should have
no terrors-ndeed it is but new birth, and until
the book-wise theologian can point US to a princi
pie of retregresson in nature let us have confidence
that the destiny of the immortal spirit, in the eer
nal life which belongs TO il, is forever TO progress
in capacity and happiness.
