There is no one symptom more per-
sistent in cholera than Of thirst, and ma
ture seems to point to the remedy, and
that is iced water, and in conjunction
with this, iced water freely rubbed over
the surface of the body has been found
very us eful, contrary to all preconceiyed
notions Of congestion. In illustrating
this subject Dr. Bell informs us that he
was well acquainted with three persons
who, after they had been laid out for
dead, on being washed previous to in
terment, in the open courtyard with
water, to obtain which the ice had to be
broken, recovered in consequence, and
lived many years afterward.
Dr. B. further states that he received
letter last year from friend in Persia,
Lieut. Fevis, French officer, an ac-
count which he thought little exag-
Grated of his treatment of cholera in

Terms once offered by Congress.

It onght never to be forgotten that in
1864, Congress proposed precisely the same
reconstruction policy. for upholding which
they now denounce President johnson as
traitor, and insist that he should be impeach
ed. That body in 1864 provided three sim
pie amendments to the Constitution, the two
important ones being the abolition of slavery,
the recognition of the debt incurred by the
United States, and the Reputation of the
debt made by the South, and it was the open
and avowed policy of Congress that this
amendment. being adopted by the Southern
States, they should be as they were before
the rebellion. President Lincoln's plan of
reconstruction was the same. The South
has performed every condition required of it,
and more, and yet it. is kept out, and not
only kept out, but new conditions proposed.
which are spoken of as the last offer, just as
if the South had ever refused any previous
offer and told that if it does not accept these
conditions, it may look for worse, and, that
if it does accept them, it will still be kept
out of the Union And every man, from
