SIXTH INSTRUCTION.


against Exposure to Vet and Cold.
Wet and cold should as much as possible be
guarded against, by warm, dry clolhing, and
stout shoes. A thick flannel belt or bandage
around the stomach and loins is good defence
for sailors; when they go to bed, if the shirt is
damp or wet, they should change it, and put on
dry one. They should not stop out at night
on shore. Many sailors who have been drink
ing at Hambro' Bar, and lying about on Sunday
night, have been seized on Monday with cholera,
and d ed in a few hours
SEVENTH INSTRUCTION.
Concerning CLEANLINESS aud Ventitation.
Nothing is of greater importance as protec-
ton against cholera than cleanliness and good
supply of fresh, pure air 1t is, therefore. ne
duty of captains to take all the means - their
power to improve and keep up the health and
strength OF their crews who are olaced under
their care and protection. Tb~owners are par
ticularly requested, on the return OF their ships
to English ports. to see these instructions COM
piled with. The fofecastle should be frequent
ly cleansed, and the matches be opened in fine
weather. SO as freely 10 admit the fresh air. The
forecasiic should be whitewashed To sweeten
the ship, bleaching salt or powder, (called also
chloride Of lime.) which is very cheap and may
be got at any druggists, should be mixed with
water, and poured down the pumps it should al
so be sprnkled about the forecastle and the
cabins. Keep the ship as free possible from
Bulge water, using the pumps daily for this pur-
pose, because it pre- walls most when ships are
very tight, and open the matches to purify the
hold. All the bedding should be kept well
dried, and brought on deck in fine weather, and
well aired.
MARK THIS WELL 1.-THE CHOLERA IS NOT
CONTAGIOUS so no one need be afraid of catch
ing it, There is no danger In waiting on and
nursing any one Of the crew who may unforin-
nately be attacked
The captains of all vessels trading to the port
of Hamburg hereby informed that proper
medicine, ready made up for use, and with plain
directions, can be procured at prime cost at all
the shipbrokers and agents for English ships in
Hamburg; and they hereby requested to
provide themselves with the same, in order to
afford all the protection to their crews which
the circumstances of the case admit

AND THEIR CONSEQUENT.
GES

From little causes great effects arise; and
no country in the world can produce so many
evidences of the truth of this as the u S. The
records Of the patent office, alone, testify to an
amount OF fortune making from 6 little causes
truly extraordinary (; our g inrentabitity" as a
people is national characteristic; we possess
the faculty in an eminent degree Of arriving at
the solution of a given difficulty, in the most
direct and simplest manner our "labor saving
machines are the wonder Of Europe, and neces-
sity being the mother Of invention, the want Of
laborers has compelled US in some measure to
supersede manual dexterty by machinery and
machines of every description During the
last year there were 1859 applications for pat
ents received at the patent Office, and 900 pat
enis issued. Here is amount Of headwork
and brain racking almost awful to contemplate
How many of these we wonder will be lost in
oblivion, the model probably serving as a toy to
the inventors grandchild, or placed in lumber

traordinary facts: eight thrashng machines,
fifteen ploughs, twenty seven harvesters. twenty
six seed planters and ten corn hullers have been
patented in the course of last year only. There
| is some encouragement, however, 10 both inven.

straw cutter, travelled with model in the Wes-
tern States, and after exhibiting 1t for eight
months returned with 100000. A patent was
obtained for printing ink for which $50 900 were
refused and it was eventually sold for $60, 900,
but these are mere trf-s compared with some
inventions which realize millions. Amongst the
curious inventions, we may mention one of a
parlor chair on two legs which cannot be tipped
back, and railway chair without any legs at all
that can be tipped back into any position a

FIRST INSTRUCTION.

Guard against Looseness Of The Boacsls and
Purging.
Before person is attacked by the cholera, he
is almost sure to have for day or two, or for
several days, or only for few hours, some loose
ness of the bowels or purging there is often %
pain, but this must not put any off his guard as
to the importance of this warning. The cap
tain or mate ought, therefore, without alarming
the men, to inquire of the crew daily whether
any one of them have looseness or purgins, as
this might by chance become worse. If man
is purged let him go to bed, be kept quite warm,
and If he is cold apply bottles of hot water, or
bags filled with hot salt, or bran, to the stomach
and feet. Give him Immediately
Eight drops of laudanum in wine glass of
hot and weak brandy and water; give The man
this every hours, as long he is purged the
same dose should be given night and morning

On The Danger Of Spirits, Corn Brandy, Zine,

tits very common notion among sailors and
other people that brandy, whiskey, rum, wine,
and the like, are good as protection against he
cholera. This is total and fatal mistake In
every country and town where the cholera has
broken out, drunkards and those who drink Free
iy have been the first ard greatest sufferers from
the disease: temperate men usually escape !;
drunkards usually die 1t is, therefore, earnestly
hoped and requested that captains will warn
their crews against all excess in drinking more
especially warn them from taking corn brandy
or gin, which often acts poison; they should
