The great idea in cholera can be toll in
few vsrds-bring the blood back to the skin
oy applying heat to it externally--check the
PargIng and vomiting with immense doses of
laudanum.
Laudsnum not only does this, but it also re-.
lieves the contracted state of the little vessels
of the skin and thus opens the wsy for the
blood to fow back TO the surface. Ihaye new.
