which the Rev. Mr. Kellogg as stoutly and
persistently rebuts, by documentary evidence
in favor Of his Church. Still doubts have eS-
listed in the minds of many, which neitherpas-

paper OF yesterday settles the question be-

Hon to Meet The Choiera-First, have u
clear conscience Next, attend to the follow
ing directions
Cholera has two stages, premonitory,
or mild stage, and stage oroolapsc, which
is fatal The rremonitory Stage is ushercd
in by mild, painless diarrhWa, which
generally continues for hours, sometimes
for days, before the stage of collapse sets in
In this premonilory stage the disease is
readily and promptly durable by simple
remedies, combined with rest in the recum-
bent position All that is necessary, there
fore, 10 prevent u tntal attack of cholera, is
that the patient shall lie down, keep warm
and quiet, and take such remedies as will re.
lieve the diarrhua knowledge of these
hcts led many English towns, in former
vlsltations of cholera, to organize body of
visitors, under the direction of central
medical hoard, whose duty il was 10 visit
from house TO house, two, three or four times
daily, and inquire in every family for these
cases of darrhwa. Each visitor carried the
proper remedy, and personally attended to
ITS administration, and 10 the confinement
of the patient to his bed The result of those
organizations was most happy. In numer-
Gus instances towns lying in the direct tract
OF the disease did not lose q single nhab
tant by cholera, though thousands Of cases
OF painless diarrhTa were treated,
