The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1861-02-16


zine relates the following incident as hav
ing fallen under his own observation. II
possesses particular interest at this time
as showing the Importance of quiet
mind, and the absence of ali excitement
during the prevalence Of the disease once
amongst us
At the time of former visitation oi
cholera to these shores, our regiment (the
--th) was uuartered at NJ, one OF the
places visited with the utmost severity by
the formidable disease We had los. very
few men, and not an officer had been at
tackled, when one eFening after mess, the
conversation turned upon the nature and
/ dangers OF the pestiients, at that time be-
leyed by many To lie contagious. Our
surgeon had just returned from harrass-
ing course OF duties, which had detained
him from mess until long after the hour
of dinner, and he was recounting to Us,
during the interval of his hurried repast,
various anecdotes of the cases he had just
quilted.
He had been with one OF ,i.0 .o=s,l,,..
/ physicians into the quarter chiefly inhab-
tied by the poor weayers connected With
/ the manufactures of ii, aud his ac-
! counts OF the misery they endurcd-mise.
/ ry always keen, and doubly aggravated
/ under present circumstaHces-wa truly
/ leart-reuding
! "Ah," said he, what is most unrortu-
nate Is that those poor peopl, are SO terri
/ fed. | believe half Of them die Of fright
. in many instances they lice from the
house containing their dying friends or re-
latives. They refuse to assist III bearing
the body TO the grave, and literally Kill
themselves Icy the nervous state Of aaita-
lion TO WHICH tAev excite themselves and
each other
How foolish that is 4" exclaimed Percy
