TREATMENT OF CHoLERA.-A distinguish.
ed Medical writer, in treatise on Cholera,
says:
at is only necessary for the patient to quit
his office or work as soon rs he discovers any
arrangement of the bowels, go home, lie
down, take good big anodyne, say forty or
fifty drops of laudanum in n little water, or
one.third of grain of the sulphate OF NOR
phne, put large mustard plaster over the
abdomen, and send for his physician. IL his
doctor is sensible man and an honest one,
he will know whether il is necessary to re-
peat the dose or not. In all probability
nothing more is needed. The patient should
avoid ice or ice drinks, take rs little food as
possible for two or three days, and that only
of the lightest kind, such rs arrow root. sage,
or rice with little boiled pure milk, or crack
ers, or dry toast soaked in little black tea.
DO this and the disease is arrested at once;
it is nipped in the bud; but if this warning
premonitory stage is neglected the painless
dianheu is changed very suddenly into rice
water discharges, both from the stomach and
bowels, and the sufferers life is, lost, thrown
away.
"Let us all remember that in cholera times
every case of diArrhea, it matters not how
triAing it is, may end in cholera if neglected,
and deserves prompt attention"

the magnitude of the subject requires If
the north will quietly submit to such an out
