Rev. Cyrus Halnlin, D. D., the wcl1-known |
missionary at Conatautinople, sends mother
communication on cholera to the Portland |
Christian Mirror. He has witnessed three yis-
ltations Of the scourge in that Eastern me-
tropolls and the following are his notes Of |
different cases and their treatment:
CASE 1st. 1913. A strong, healthy servant
woman, aged about fifty yeara. She was near
y IN the collapse state when was called to
her. The dia1rhRa was partially controlled
By the use OF 1audanum, hot applications, and
friction to the extremtties. Vomiting, how
ever, commenced, and q raging thirst torment
ed her from the beginning. She complained
Of pain in her right side, which did not then
understand, nor did know what to do for It.
She bore up wonderfully against the disease
for four or tive days, and died from incompe-
tent treatment
CASE Cd. a young man OF twenty-one or
twenty-five gardener Of apparently strong
violence, had hccn treated and abandoned in
despair hy hydsopath. Pulse hardly per.
cept1ble, thirst tormentiug, cxtrcmittes cold,
purging md vomiting. ! had attended d
scoIr Of cases since No. l, and had adopted
definite course. Gave mixture So:s, or rather
ceived itom an English physician, Of great
experience in the cholern. Applied bags of
hot salt, to restore the heat, with friction,
md water acidulated With few drops Of nj
tric acid for the thirst. Hesoon began to iul-
prove. But he drank too much, and brought
on vomiting again. I learned from this case
to he very cautious Of all drinks. With great
difficulty he came round again, complained
OF pain In his side-applied sixteen lecches
@ oyer tue liver, gave for nourishment nothing
nut nee cruel and then arrowroot with a tea
spoonful OF brandy in it. He recovered. I
began atler this in NIL cascs 10 use mustard
puu1tices largely and have always kept up
The practice: 1t will generally save the ncces-
