How 10 avoid the Cholera

prehenslve address to the people Of that city.
The advice is as applicable here as in New
York, and we commend it to the careful
consideration of every reader of the 1ele-
graph. " n
''The Board of Health publish this sim
pie statement, and beg the public to give to
it their earnest attention.
Cholera is generally preventable disease
and in its early stages can be arrested if the
habits be good. Study, therefore, temper
ance in eating and drinking. Do not be-
lieye that alcoholic stimulants are useful in
gua.-i-g you against an attack. Let the
food be nutritious, and keep the digestive
organs in healthy condition. Use no stale
or unlocked vegetables Let your meat be
fresh, and your vegetables be well cooked,
and all fruits be fresh and ripe.
Cleanliness of the body is of the first con-
sideration. Keep the skin in healthy state
by bathing the whole body, with free use
of soap. Cold bathing is best used in the
morning-never just before going to bed.
Dry frictions, or the warm bath, may be
more safely used just before going to bed.
Cleanliness in your homes is of equal i'm
portance. Let your apartments be dry
never damp. Suffer no decayed vegetables
or stagnant water to remain in your cellars
or yards. ANY disagreeable smell from
privies, cesspools or sinks, is a proof of their
unhealthiness Remove them by necessary
repairs, lime chloride of lime or whitewasb-
ing Ventiate well your houses and apart
ments. Expose, your bedding to the air and
sun. Avoid excessive fatigue, Keep reg
ular hours in eating or sleeping Wear fan
mel near to the skin. A good plan is, if the
bowels are at all disordered, to wear broad
band of flannel e. flannel bellyban0 around
tt e body, reaching from the hips to the ribs.
Maintain the natural temperature of the
body by sufficient clothing, especially keep
the feet warm. Never when heat
ed sit on the grass or stone seats, or sleep
under an open window. If exposed to wet
change yoqr boots and clothes as soon as
possible.
Take no purgative medicines, except by
direction OF physician. sa. .- By.
Cholera is almost invariably preceded by
painless diarrhoea, and this is iii all cases
to be promptly treated.
When diarrhna is present, go TO bed and
maintain position on the back, use abun-
dance of blankets and send for physician.
A physician can always be obtained by
applying to the nearest police station. Do
not consider yourself well until you have
had natural movement from the bowels.
Abstain from all drinks Apply mustard
plasters to the bowels
In the absence of a physician an adult
can take ten drops of laudanum and ten of
spirits of camphor. A child of ten years may
take five drops of laudanum and five of
camphor A child of five years may take
three drops Of laudanum and three of spir-
its of camphor; and these doses may DE
repeated every twenty minutes so long as
diarrhma, or pain or vomiting contin.
ues. This will save time, but in all cases
send for q physician.

use the bed-pan or other conveuiences.
