~ We are opposed to publishing unskill-
full recipes, during the prevalence Of danger
Gus diseases, whereby the credulous might be
made 70 assume the responsibility of becoming
ter own doctors. Experience has proved
that much harm has been done by such reck
Iessncss Yet we have wondered that in the
whole catalogue of medicines, no agent should
vet be found. which would more successfully
combat the pestlence now sweeping the land,
anS that all investigations Of its nature, by
scientific persons, should have been 50 unsat-
isfactorv. We believe the mos eminent
medical practitioners are unacquainied with
lis true nature, and each branch Of practice
loses large per centage Of patients. The
faculty Of each branch are very tenacious in
their be.icf in the efficacy of their different
pathys and modes of treatment, which, per-
haps, operates against their finding more ef-
fectiye remedies-for we can see no other rea-
SONY why more advancement has not been made
in the treatment IF cholera-and we think il
Is high time for them, under these circumstan-
ces, to throw eff little of their medical Old
IIunkerism, and endeavor to supply the wants
of the occasion. BY late accounts from Mex
leo and Havana (where the disease has been
very fatally Errot is said to have been found an
almost perfect cure. This is a powerful ner-
vine, and, we believe, in some forms, strong
poison, and should only be administered by
medical men. We suppose 1t viii be tied
It's them, if it seems proper.
We were induced to make the foregoing
remarks, by having received, from friend, d
few days since, the following assumed rene
dy, for publication. Ii will be noticed that
the time Of its alleged use was nearly year
ngo, and We are inclined to think that would
have been more extensively known by this
time, if very e.fcarous in performing cures.
We would not dare recommend II to any enc,
but publish it, IS desired. Cd
