Remedy for the Cholera.

The following letter, giving the experience of a
respectable shpmaster of the effects OF simple rem
edy in cases of cholera has been furnished to the
New York Evening Post for publication. The method
is that resorted to by DIR. Dickson of London, and
the school of practitioners to which he belongs He
maintains that the cholera is produced by the spasm
palsy of the eighth pair of nervesthat is to say,
the nerves which communicate between the BRAIN
the stomach and the lungs and POUNDS this doctrine
on some remarkable experiments of the anatOmist
Dupuytren, who showed that by the simple COM
preston of this pair of nerves. asphyxa is produced
which can be continued till it proves mortal, and
that during this asphyxia the blood becomes of a
black coal color and that is attended with vio
lent efforts to vomit The practice founded this
view of the of cholera is the administration of
emetics Mustard and common salt, in warm water,
are sometimes given sometimes tartar emetic, the
Italian practice sometimes ipecac sometimes blood
warm water. This practice, and the reasons for it,
have been set forth in various published papers of
DR.. Turner, to whom this letter is addressed:
New YORK, July 20, 1850.
To Dr. TURNER-Dear Sir In compliance with
your request, respectfully reply that in January
last, in the packet ship Isaac Wright under my
command sailed from Liverpool with two hundred
and five passengers. Within forty eight hours after
sailing cases of the cholera appeared on board,
which treated for time, according to the book,
with such bad success that, within ten days, | had
thrown overheard twenty-seven of the passengers
dead with cholera. then recollected method of
treatment suggested to me by my friend and prede-
cessor Captain Alexander A. Marshall, viz: to give
table spoonful of salt and a tea spoonful of red
pepper, in half pint of hot water. [ tried it with
such success that did not lose another patient dur
ing the passage, nor since.
was seized violently myself with the cholera, and
cramps and so on, and this medicine carried me
through. The medicine acts very promptly as an
emetic, say in one or two minutes. It brings up a
very offensive matter, which sticks like glue. 1t was
given, among Others to old woman of eighty -four
Years of age, who was on deck, (though weak of
course) the very next day. l have known it to be
successfully used board their ships by at least
dozen shipmasters besides myself Its use is quite
general in Liverpool where some of the regular
doctors find il to their advantage of resort to it.
Provided with this simple recipe no longer consd-
er the cholera an unmanageable disease.
