Azure for Cholera.

-. II. Siddoas in the. United Serriee-l
The cholera-that terrible
scourge Of the human racc-was
in 1920 81, comparatively a new
disease. There is evidence ex-
tant that it.was known in India
more than a hundred years ago;
but it scents 10 have attracted
little attention until 1SlT2lS,
when it burst out in the south
of India with fearful force, and
spread It's devastation in a wes-
terIy direction, until it ravaged
Europe for some years. Since
then it has maintained its posi-
ton in nearly all parts of the
world, battling the efforts and
confounding the science OF the
most ablepractitioLers. Whether
it was epidemic or endemic re-
manned a question, and the REM
edy, when it seized an indiyidu-
al, was problem difficult of.so-
luton. Brandy alone, or mixed
with laudanum, was tried i'll the
incipience of the disease incf-
fcctually; ice, in allaying the
burning thirst of the sufferer
was more eflicacious, but nei-
Their Of the means sufliced to ar
rest the rapid progress OF the
disorder. Not until 1866 Was
an infallible cure discovered, and
as that new system is still less
known than such blessing de-
serves TO be, l may be excused
for mentioning it. DIR. Ribton,
who had been practicing for
some years in Naples, on the
outbreak of the cholera in that
filthy town applied himself to
the discovery of the substance
in the form Of drugs that would
have any specific action on the
choleraic poison. He took the
ordinary method of testing the
efficacy of the drugs by bring
ing them in contact with the
intestines of men who had died
of the disease, and he found
that camphor was the nearest
approach TO affinity with the
poison supposed to exist. But
the microscope revealed under
the white lining Of the diseased
membrane a certain substance
of an alkaline nature, which re-
CURED an auxiliary of camphoI
in it's removal. Accordingly,
after divers. experiments, DIR.
Ribton hit upon hydrochloric
acid, and by combating its gas
with camphor, "chloride of cam
phogen," gave the happy results.
Applied diluted with oil to the
diseased membrane it at once
removed every trace of the virus.
DR.. Ribton then prepared a
medicine on the principle OF his
discovery, and the result was q
perfect cure in every case, tho
some Of the patients were suffer-
ing from the gravest symptoms
before treatment commenced
as much as sixteen 10 twenty
four hours since attack. set in:
the voice was gone, the pulse
was thready, and cyanosis had
begun. ~
