ON CHOLERA.
By A. MARQUES.
(Continued.)

The first thing, tor the treatment and pro-
phylaxy of this disease, is to be able to receg-
nize genuine Asiatic cholera from the ordfn-
airy endemic form known as cholera N orbus,
and from the various forms of darrhes, dy-
sentery and gastric troubles, which often as
sumo such choleraic symptoms rs to deceive
the attendants. The essential characteristics
Of Asiatie cholera are purging and vomiting
of white-greyish liquid Qike ricc-water),
attended by painful cramps, spssms and con-
tor,ions of the limbs, suppression of urine
and difficulty of breathing, through which
occur rapidly symptoms of asphyxia, intense
GOODNESS of the body and breath, lividity or
bueness of the akin and nails, smallness or
absence OF pulse, and quick wasting of the
flesh, followed by death, or by an intense re-
action oftentimes more dangerous than the
first period. 1t is popularity supposed that
the invasion of this malady is dl,cays heralded
by q premonitory stage Of diarrh9a; but this
is very great fallaey, for In many cases the
disease strikes with the rapidty of lightning,
with no forewarning of any kind. However,
in times of cholera, 1t is safe not to neglect
any preliminary disturbances of the bowels
not on account oftheir surely being he plague,
but by reason of their constituting at any rate
| favorable bed on which 1t may more easily
declare itself. Thus any attack of loose.
ness or diarrhea ought TO be checked ct
cause worse reaction, but by mild, simple
household remedies, like long.boiled rico
water, or arrowrcot stirred in tepid water,
and uaed as drink and injection, together
with some reliable allopathic anodyne or
carminative, or such homeopathic remedies
as the symptoms may indicate; for example,
phosp. acid, for watery whitish diarrhea,
crot.-tigl. for bilious excavations with CO.
lie, Ipec. for predominance Of vomiting,
while bromide of potassium and cupr.-ars.
(arseniate of copper will be probably found
the most appropriate in times when real
cholera epidemic is raging. However, even
the stoppage of any so.called premonitory
diarrhps must not lead to tho conclusion
that all danger Of cholera is past, for the
physicians with practical experience have
been forced to admit that the real cholera
diarrhea is not stopped, but must run its
course Just like smallpox; only, proper ano
early treatment puts the body in better con
ditions to go through that stage rapidly and
favorably.
Sudden attacks of Asiatic cholera seen
more liable to occur at night and after mid
night, than during the day. Hence thu
necessity for each family to be provided
with prompt and efficient remedies, to avoi'
the delay and hurried alarm in relying on
physician at night.

eAUeHMAN CHARGED WITH ARSON.
Story OF the Arrest at Chicago of the Lewis
town Alderman.


CHICAGO, Aug. ao.-The facts in the case
OF the arrest of Oscar Baughman. alder
man Of LewistowD, Ills, as given by the
detective firm which secured his arrest, are
as follows: The Fulton county court
hoEsc has been for years located at Lewis
town, and It is &. historic structure. Abe
Lincoln used to plead some of his cases
there and for Il long time it was considered
10 be an attractive landmark. For n long
time there has been n struggle going on
between the people of Lcwistown and the
people of Canton for the county seat, but
the former have succeeded in holding it,
The contest was getting pretty warm and
last fall some OF the city officials of Lewis
town came 10 the conclusion that their
town was running down and they must
do something 70 give IL II boost.
so it was decided that the old court
house was an cycsorc, and u new one
should be built, and Il conspiracy was
hatched to burn the old building. The
prosecution says it has the a1iidavits of
Brown. the city marshal, and Henry, the
night watchInan,tO to prove this conclusivcly.
Henry says he was offered 500 by Baugh-
man ii he would burn the court house;
that with Brown he set fire to the build
ing on the night of Dec. II last; that they
covered up their tracks almost perfectly;
that he, Henry, called on BauChman the
day after the fire and Baughman borrowed
$3.50 on Il note in bank and paid the
money to him, Henry, and the note is yet
in the bank and upaid.
The above is the story as the detectives
tell it and W, ID. SOule, superintendent of
he detective agency, said Baughman had
admitted the truth Of the part concerning
tho payment of money.
