collie.
These Two Painful and Dangerous Diseases
Graphically Described
A Letter from a Cholera Morbus fatient.

There are two acute diseases of the alb
dominal organs which have decided 70
include in one lecture, not because ther9
ia strictly speaking, any similarity In
the nature of them, but because their
chief symptom is violent pain ana
CRAMPS, which necessitate nearly the
same treatment. The three ailments re-
ferred to are cholera morbus, bilious
collie and renal collie.
Cholera morbus is usually quite alarm
ing in the suddenness and severity OF It's
onset. as we'll as the violence of all the
attending symptoms. II Is prevalent IN
warm countries and IN temperate oil
mates during the summer nonlus'
Without any warning the person Is TAKEN
with vomiting and purglng, intense grip
ing and spasms in the arms anu ieRs'
The vomited matter Is mostly oliious,
and the messages from the bowels are or
the same kind, Great anxiety and de-
nression soon follows the attack unless
nromptIy checked by the proper treat
mpnt, and the symptoms very quickly
become alarming to patient and attend
ants.
TREATMENT.
AS soon as possible after the first
sv,nntom of the attack O wineglassful OF
Ps-ru-na should be taken. 1t 1t Is
yomited up imm ediately it should be re-
heated at once, and continue to repeat
tins dose until the stomach no longer re-
iects 1t, The first dose that IL Kept down
should be followed by another IN htteen
minutes until the pain Is positively
checked, when the Ps-ru-na should be
continued in tablespoonful doses every
two hours until entirely well. AT the same
time that the Peru ma Is being given Dy
mouth an injection should be prepared,
consisting of one quart OF warm water
and two tablespooufuls of Pe-ru-na,
which should be injected into the rectum
as directed on page l3 of the ellis OF
Life. This should be repeated every
half hour until the severity OF the attack
is checked. This treatment will promptly
cure any case of cholera morbus, and
the attendants should lay aside every
fenr or dou bt as TO the recovery OF the
patient, and go quietly about the de-
| tails as described above, when perfect
| cure may be confidently expected with
out fail.
Here is letter from one who has
tested the virtue of Pe-ru-na in cholera
morbus, hich ftly illustrates the man
agement of u case. 1t is from Fort
Wayne, Ind . q, aud reads as follows:

repeated, which was also vomited

the book and read again: Inject one
