NEW CHOLERA THEORY.
CHICAGO, Sept. ga resident &
this city to-day received from DR.. John
Chapman, the eminent physician OF
Paris, and successor to John Stuar
MIL in his connection with the" West
minister Reviews letter in which he
gives q new and important theory OF
the cholera question, andfurnishes some
details Of the results Of his experiments
upon patients.
1t has always been understood that
Asiatic cholera is entirely due to germ
or living organism, which finds its way
into the sytem from without, either
through air, food or water. the body Of
the sufferer providing an almost unlimit
ed supply of these organisms for i'm
parting the disease to others. DIR.
Chapman has devoted considerable
time to study and investigation Of this
theory, and claims that he has succeed.
ed in scientifically demonstrating that
1t is totally iallacious.
The disease, ne says, is in one sense a
blood poison, nor is 1t contagious. On
the contrary, it is, he declares, purely
nervous disease, dependant chiefly on
thermal and electric influences, and
these, being but modes of motion, u
are allied to, If not identical with,
sickness the causation and phenomens
of which are the same.
He assumes and claims that by sue.
cessful treatment he has proven thai
cholera depends upon simultaneous
hyper&mic condition of the spinal cord
aud the sympathetic system of nerves,
the former controlling the secreting
glands and large voluntary muscles oi
the body, while the latter controls the
voluntary muscles in the coats of the
arteries, the bronchial tubes and else.
where in the system. This ultim mately
leads to the symptoms most noticeable
in the disease.
He adds that, acting on this hypothe-
sis, he aims In practice to reduce the
of blood in the spinal
and sympathetic nerves, accomplishing
this by the application of ice to the
spine. The results, he says, have been
astonishing. During his practice in
France only five cases out of thirty
nine treated in this way proved fatal,
or about II per cent, while the ordi.
nary mortality of the disease is from 30
to 20 per cent. DR.. Chapman says that
he will shortly give his theory to the
medical world In exterior and demon
strate its correctness by the III ost
logical and consistent deductions
known TO pathology.
