CHOLERA.

. The possibilities, if not the probabilities
are that our land will be visited next sum
mer with this fearful sccurge. Ih anticipa
ton OF this, many are now seeking the sound
est medical advice, and are looking for th,
treatment that gives the strongest guarantee,
| Of success
| The n. Y. Mdependam gives, In a recent
number, an article that will be of interest to
all our readers. Every one knows that there
are radical differences in the Jews vof medi.
cal men as regards the most succeEsful treat
ment Of cholera, as well as of all other dis
eases. 1t IS most appropriate, then, that
writer's deal in fttcts, and not in theories L,
will have little weight to argue with man,
that little handful of the dust we call pow
der will not lift open the great rock that "A
hundred men cannot move, when lie has seen
it done repeatedly, sGd experience shows him
it will uot fail. -" -. ..
This writer's article, then, is opportune, for
it deals with Jacts. We give few extracts !:
As might naturally be supposed, and for
obvious reasons, the mortality Of patients
treated in hospitals is always mu uch greater
than that of patients treated at their own
housss."

...u 1ollows plain statemeht OF STATISTICS
in regard 10 the success OF the two great an
,aconistic systems of medicine.
From 1881 to 1913 the mortality of cholera
S;..ients throughout Europe was a follows:
AILoPATHIC TREATNESf.
At their own houses-39 per cent or more
than IN 3 cases.
In hosptals-57 per cent. or more than died.
During the same period, the statistics of
patients under Homeopathic treatment show
the following results:
At their own houses-about 9 per cent. or
death in |! cases.
In LospIals-33 per cent. or about IN
cases.
In the city Of New York, in 1882, the NOR
tallty under the Allopathic treatment was,
In hosuitals-one- half of the cases or 30 per
cent.
At home-oue-third of the cases, or about 33
per cent.
In 1919, under Alopa,hic treatment, the
mortality figures:
In hospitals-more than onehalf OF the caseI
or 53.7 per cent.
In private nrlctice-mora tjan one-tnlrd of
the case. or 34.I per cent.
AZ the same time, in New York, the az
sregute mortality at home and in the hospitals
o: those treated HomeopathIcallr was only
- per cent, or about / III ! cases.
Il anv one doubt these statistics, il Is no,
hard 10 give good authority for them.
In 1886. cholera visited Vienna the second
time. The practice OF Homeopathy was at
that time forbidden in Austria. but pcrmls-
sion was OF tanned to open LomGopatblg
hospital | state the result in the words o.
Mr. Wilde. OF Dublin, the distinguished AURA
udsophthalmic surgeon, who Is 10 friend 10
homeopathy. He says: Austria and It's
Institutions, P 27j.l
Upon comparing the report made (by the
government Inspector who visited the hospitals
daiIy) of the treatment Of cholera in this
hospital with that Of the same epidemic III
other hospitals of Vienna at similar time,
it appeared that while ttcD thirds Of tn ,se
treated by Dr.. Fieischmanm Homeopathy
7sc5rersd, hro thrd, of those treated by
the ordinary methods IN oth.r hospitals died.
This .ery extraordin.ry result led Count
koluyr {, minister Of The interior. 10 reDe0l
The tI.c relative TO the practice OF homHo-
! athy.
In 1914. in Great Britain government, es-
taDlishcd i medical council to gather returns
of the treatment and mortality OF cholera.
When the report was submitted It was noticed
that the returns OF the homeopathic prac>
tiGoncrs and of the London Homeopathic
Hospital were not included III IL The House
of Commons the:euP0n called tor the reject
Ell returns. and they were presented IN i
s.perate report. TAis return CITES the sta.
t;stlcs of the London Homeopathic Hospital
a.le3ted Dv Dr.. McLoug HIN, an eminent Al
lopathic physician, who was go"ernment IN
spe1t,r of cholera hospitals, by spPointmen;
OF The same medical council which rejected
the retnrns.
The mortality ofcholera in the homeopathic
hospital WAS l6.i per cent.
Under aIlopathic treatment, during the
same epidemic, the medical councils return
to Parliament, give. the mortality as 59.2 per
cent.
Let it be remembered as the grand result
of statistics hith rty. that in Cholera the
honor oPathic treatment saves 81 IN 100 cases I;
alopsthy saves never more than t3 IN 100
Gases.
These are tacts. = The wayiarng man,
though a tool, need not err therein
