far aud wide. "Mis. Willard gives sew

on cholera patients, by placing them in
an upright position with their faces to-
ward the wind, and then directing them
by violent artificial breathing, to throw
out from the lungs the nox'ous gases and

such way that it could neither move

pounds. Mr.. Cox says that it was impos-
