THE ASLATIC CHOLERA.

The Asiatic cholera has again appeared
in this country in the form Of an epidemic
Its first appearance in that form was 56
years ago at Bengal in the month of May.
After scourging India and Southern Russia,
it appeared in England in 1881 and in June
of the next year appeared on this side
of the Atlantic 10 Canada and New York.
1t reached Boston, Baltimore and Wash
ington in August, and in October spread
to Cincinnati and New Orleans. After re-
vaging Texas, it struck across the country
to the Mississippi river and came up stream
ravagiDg the town along its banks. That
was known as the "great cholera year. p
The disease appeared yearly after that TO-
four years, but not in such violence. TIL
present epidemic arose in New Orleans, bus
its main field seems to have been in Tennes-
see, across which State it has travelled to
Bristol, town half in Virginia and half in
Tennessee. The most active preparations
are being made in Richmond to avert it, by
sanitary measures, and our security in
Stanton lies 10 the same means, and it is
to be hoped every citizen will aid the Board
of Health in the wise efforts they are now
making to put the city in proper condition.
Cleanliness is the only way to avert the d.
sease for, after it comes in cur midst. diet
ing is only the straw at which the drowning
man catches. In the dreadful year Of '32,
In New York, prescription for relief be-
came famous as the 'Sun's prescription y
having been first published in that paper
1t is matter of history that no person who
took it on the first appearance of the symp.
toms-derangement of the stomach, died Of
the disease. 1t is simple one mix equal
parts of tincture Of opium, red pepper, rhu-
barb, peppermint and oamphor-a dose of
the mixture being 80 drops. In case Of
diarrhoea, take a dose Of ten or twenty drops
in three or four teaspoonsful of water. No
one who has this by him, and takes it in
time, will ever have the cholera-at least.
