of Panghsh sympathy. On from its Presbyters,
Bev. S. D. Stuart, writes London to
the Central Presbyterian, that, through the
good offices of the Earl of Shaftsbury, he has
obtained for their Publication Board a dona
tion from the London Tract Society, of about
two hundred dollars worth of specimen -books
for its Publication Library ; also a munifi
cent donation of five large boxes of books and
tracts, the value of which, he thinks, must be
great ; also the privilege of purchasing books
for your Depositories at an advantageousdis
count for cash ; and finally books for Sunday
school libraries, white and colored schools, at
a discount still more favorable at subscribers'
price. The same nobleman, be adds, "gave
lee a letter to another association, the precise
title of which I do not at this moment re
member, where I was received in a most
cordial manner. They said, I was the first
erson they had seen from the Southern
States, in whose welfare they professed a
deep interest, and I gave them the first in
timation they had received from any source
that Christians in the South were making
any efforts to instruct the negroes. They
had given a large grant to the Northern so
cieties, and could readily understand how we
could manage the whole matter better than
intruders, and in the kindest manner offered
to send you a box of their publications!!
United Presbyterian.—Rev. Dr. J. T.
Cooper, of this city, has returned from his
successful mission, (the establishing of a U.
P. congregation in San Francisco,) and re
sumed his pastoral labors here. Rev. M. M.
Gibson, of Sidney, Ohio, goes to take the
permanent charge of the San Francisco en
terprise.—The U. P. Presbytery of Kansas
held its annual meeting in Americus last
month. A brother writing therefrom to the
Christian instructor, says :—" It is impossi
ble for the Presbytery, for the want of minis
ters, to comply with the calls for preaching..
Who will come and help us? Young minis
ters, let me say to you, come and enter the
vanguard. Here you can be as useful as in
any other place; and consider whether or not
Our commission does not require you to go
into this country and preach the everlasting
Gospel of peace and salvation. Come and
not only build up Zion's walls.here, but come
and build yourselves up with the country."
Congregational.—The Chicago correspon
dent of the Boston Recorder says that in all
the record of Congregational Church Exten
sion in this country, there is, perhaps, no
parkllel to the success in Missouri, a success
largely due to the grace bestowed upon our
Brother Turner, the State Agent of the
Home Missionary Society. He has been
both wise and fortunate in the selection of
pastors, gathering into his diocese a body of
workmen who have no need to be ashamed.
One of the pioneers of this pioneer band is
Brother Charles H. Pratt, who is located at
Brookfield. He has made a beginning which
promises large usefulness.and a ripe maturity.
He was recently in Chicago, and brought
fresh tidings of cheer from the rapidly ad
vancing " frontier."—Eoclesiasticism is
gradually cropping out in the New England
Congregational bodies. Witness the follow
ing resolution, offered at the late meeting of
the General Association in Massachusetts:—
"That it is eminently desirable that any be
nevolent society, hereafter formed within our
denomination, and depending .en it for sup
port, shall make an official and responsible
connection with the General Conference or
Association of the State where it may origi
nate."—The Congregationalist says, thatin
Oregon, during the lastyear, two new churches
hate been organized, one at Hillsboro,' of
five members, and one at Astoria, of eighteen
members. Our brethren there specify eleven
places in that broad field which might repay
the labors of ministers, if ministers could be
had. It adds :—" We. have at last taken
R artial possession of the region known as
southern California. Rev. Alexander Par
ker, lately of Waukon, lowa, has arrived at
Los Angeles, and was about starting two
Sunday-schools in that city. Rev. D. A.
Johnson, formerly at El Paso, 111., but a
few weeks since at Dutch Flat, has gone
some sixty miles beyond Los Angeles to San
Bernardino. Los Angeles contains a popula
tion of six thousand, and San Barnardino
three thousand, and until two or three months
since there was no Protestant ministry of any
sort in either place.
Reformed Dntch.—The Board of Domes
ticillissions of the R. D. Church last summer,
commissioned Rev. P. Be Pree as Sunday
school missionaku in Central lowa. He has
been on the grolnd since early in last Sep
tember, superintendihg Sunday-school in
struction at some seven different points on
the prairies, and maintaining preaching ap
pointments wherever congregations could be
gathered. His labors have been arduous, but
the Lord has upheld his strength and greatly
rewarded his work. One of these Sabbath
school organizations is already growing into a
church, and some $l5OO have already .been
raised for a church edifice. The missionary
reports that other neighborhoods beretotore
destitute of religious privileges are rapidly
preparing for this same result, but more help
Is needed in the field. Another missionary
is needed at once. A minister who is adapted
to the Sabbath-school work, and who is able
to preach in both the Holland and English
language, would find a most inviting field of
labor.—Chr. intell.
Miscellaneous The Cincinnati Union
Bethel is doing a noble work in that city. It
sustains, by the voluntary agency of laborers
connected with the Christian Churches, a
Sabbath-school of two thousand five hundred
enrolled scholars, with an average attendance
of one thousand . two hundred. A Mother's
Class and a Young Men's Bible-class are also
maintained, and a free reading-room is open,
and is becoming a place of frequent resort.
Soule of the teachers of the Sabbath-school
devote much time to missionary visitation,
One of their number frequently visiting as
many as forty families a week.—Rev. F.
Southworth, Seaman's Chaplain at Portland,
appeal s to the public for help to rebuild the
( chapel. lie says :—" Among the sufferers
by the late terrible fire in this city, there is a
class not reached by the munificent bounty
poured in so generously from every quarter
ler general distribution, and who will be slow
to plead their own cause. I refer to the men
of the sea. The Bethel built and maintained
tor them is 'destroyed. More than 30,000
sailors annually visit this port; their house
of worship must not lie in ashes. But the
good men and women of Portland, who under
ordinary conditions would rejoice to rebuild
can do next to nothing. In this crisis our
ells must come from abroad.
AN UNMITIGATED STUPIDITY.—The
Pr°•slavery spirit has many features in
common with Romanism, and none of
t hem are more glaring than its abhor-
Nee of enlightenment. Witness,. for
example, the following odorous breath
f rom the carcass of the peculiar institu
tion, sent along by a late number of Dr.

THE AMERICAN PRESI3YTERIAIii[ § TIW,RtSpAY„, Apg-ug
,1866.
THE CHOLERA,
Dr. Hamlin, the well-known missionary of
the American Board at Constantinople, writes
the following interesting communication. His
,experience with the cholera and the high
esteem in which he is held, render his re
marks on this subject at this time invalua
ble :
The cholera, which has just left us after
committing fearful ravages, is making its
wa y i n to - Europe, and will probably cross
the Atlantic before another summer has
passed.
Having been providentially compelled to
have a good degree of practical acquaintance
with it,. and to see it in , all its forms and sta
ges during each of its invasions of Constanti
nople, I wish to make my friends in America
some suggestions which may relieve anxiety,
or be of practical use.
Ist. On the approach of cholera, every
family should be prepared to treat it without
waiting for a physician. It does its work so
expeditiously, that while you are waiting for
the doctor it is done.
2d. If you prepare for it, it will not come.
I think there is no disease which may be
avoided with so much certainty as the cho
lera. But providential circumstances, or the
thoughtless indiscretions of some member of
a household, may invite the attack, and the
challenge will never be refused. It will
probably be made in the night, your physi
cian has been called in another' direction and
you must treat the case yourself or it will be
fatal.
3. Uauses of Attack.—l have personally
investigated at least a hundred cases, and not
less than three-fourths could be traced di
rectly to improper diet, or to intoxicating
drinks, or to both united. Of the remainder,
suppressed perspiration would comprise a
large number. A strong, healthy, temperate,
laboring man had a severe attack of cholera,
and after the danger had passed I was curi
ous to ascertain the cause. He had been
,cautions and prudent in his diet. He used
nothing intoxicating.. His residence was in
a good locality. But after some hours of
hard labor and very profuse perspiration, he
had lain down to take his customary nap
right against an open window through which
a very refreshing breeze was blowing. An
other cause is drinking largely of cold water
when hot and thirsty. Great fatigue, great
anxiety, fright, fear, all figure among inciting
causes. If one can avoid all these he is safe
from the cholera as from being swept away .
by a comet.
4th. "Symptoms of an Attack.—While cho
lera is prevalent in a place almost every one
experiences more or less disturbance of diges
tion. It is doubtless in part imaginary.
Every one notices the slightest variation of
feeling, and this gives importance to mere
trifles. There is often a slight nausea, or
transient pains, or rumbling sounds when no
attack follows. No one is entirely free from
these. But when diarrhoea commences,
though painless and slight, it is in reality the
skirmishing party of the advancing column.
It will have at first no single characteristic of
Asiatic cholera. But do not be deceived.
It is the cholera, nevertheless. Wait a little,
give it time to get hold, say to yourself, "I
fell perfectly well, it will soon pass off," and
in a short time you will repent of your folly
in vain. I have seen many a one commit
suicide in this way.
Sometimes, though rarely, the attack com
mences with vomiting. But in whatever way
it commences it is sure to hold on. It a very
few hours the patient may sink into the col
lapse. The hands and feet become cold and
purplish, the countenance at first nervous and
anxious, becomes gloomy and apathetic, al
though a mental restlessness and raging
thirst torment the sufferer while the powers
of life are ebbing. The intellect remains
clear, but all the social and moral feelings
seem wonderfully to collapse with the physi
cal powers. The patient knows he has to
die, but cares not a snap about it.
In some cases, though rarely, the diarrhoea
continues for a day or two, and the foolish
person keeps about, then suddenly sinks,
sends for a physician, and before he arrives
"dies as the fool dieth."
COURSE OF TREATMENT.
1. For Stopping the Incipient Diairrhaa.—
The mixture which I used in 1848 with great
success, and again in 1865, has, during this
epidemic, been used by thousands, and al
though the attacks have been sudden and
violent, it has fully established its reputation
for efficiency and perfect safety. It consists
of equal parts, by measure, of laudanum,
.spirits of camphor, and tincture of Rhubarb.
Thirty drops for an adult, on a lump of sugar,
will often check the diarrhea. But to pre
vent its return, care should always be taken
to continue the medicine every 4 hours in
diminishing doses, 25, 20, 15, 10, 9, when
careful diet is all that will be needed.
In case the first dose does not stay the
diarrhea, continue to give in increasing doses
35, 40, 45, 50, at every movement of the
bowels. Large doses will produce no injury
while the diarrhcea lasts. When that is
checked then is the time for caution. I have
never seen,a case of diarrhea, taken in sea
son, which was not thus controlled, but some
cases of advanced diarrhcea, and especially of
relapse, paid no heed to it whatever. As
soon as this becomes apparent, I have always
resorted to this course : Prepare a teacup of
starch, boiled as for use in starching linen,
and stir into it a full teaspoonful of lauda
num for an injection. . Give one-third at
each movement of the bowels. In one des
perate case, abandoned as hopeless by a phy
sician, I could not stop the diarrhoea until
the seventh injection, which contained nearly
a teaspoonful of laudanum. The patient re
covered and is in perfect health. At the
same time I used prepared chalk in ten-grain
doses with a few drops of laudanum and
camphor to each. But whatever , course is
pursued, it must be followed up, and the
diarrhcea controlled or the patient is lost.
2. Mustard Poultices. —These should be
applied to the pit of the stomach, and kept
on till the surface is well reddened.
3. The patient. however well he may feel,
should rigidly observe perfect rest. To lie
quietly on the back is one-half the battle. In
that position the enemy fires over you, but
the moment you rise you are hit.
When the attack comes in the form of
diarrhoaa, these directions will enable every
one, to meet it successfully.
4. But when the attack is more violent;
and\ there is vomiting, or vomiting and purg
ing, perhaps, also, cramps and cholie pains,
the 011 owing mixture is far more effective
and hould always be resorted to. The mis
siona 'es, Messrs. Long t Trowbridge, and
Was burn, have used it in very many cases,
and 'th wonderful success. It consists of
equal arts of laudanum,tincture of capsicum,
tinct of ginger, and tincture of cardamon
seeds. \ Dose, 30 to 40 drops, or half a tea
spoonfin a little water, and to be increased
accord' to the urgency of the case. In case
1 1 .
i t
the firs , ose should be ejected, the second,
which should stand ready, should be given
iminedia y after the spasm 'of vomiting has
ceased. wring this late cholera siege no
one of us ailed of controlling the vomiting,
and also t purging, by, at most, the third
\
dose. We ave, however, invariably made
use of large ustard poultices of strong, pure
m us t a rd, ap lied' to the stomach, bowels,
calves of thtleg#, feet, etc., as the case
seemed to req ire. \,
Collapse. This i, simply a more advanced
stage of the disease. \lt indicates the gradual
failing of all the powers of life. It is difficult
to say when a case has become hopeless. At
a certain point the body of the patient begins
to emit a peculiar odor, which 1 call the
death odor, for when that became decided
and unmistakable, I have never knowii the
patient to recuver. I have repeatedly worked
upon such cases for hours with no permanent
result. But the blue color, the cold extremi
ties, the deeply sunken eye, the vanishing
pulse, are no signs that the case is hopeless.
Scores of such cases in the recent epidemic
have recovered. In addition to the second
mixture, brandy (a tablespoonful every half
hour,) bottles of hot water surrounding the
patient, especially the extremities, sinapisms
and friction, will often, in an hour or two,
work wonders.
Thirst —ln these and in all advanced cases,
thirst creates intense suffering. The sufferer
craves water, and as sure as he gratifies the
craving the worst symptoms return , and he
falls a victim to the transient gratification.
The only safe way is, to have a faithful
friend or attendant who will not heed his en
treaties. The suffering may be, however,
safely alleviated and rendered endurable.
Frequent gurgling the throat and washing
out the mouth will bring some relief. A
spoonful of gum Arabic water, or of chamo
mile tea, may frequently be given to wet the
throat. "Lyndenham's White Decoction"
may also be given both as a beverage and
nourishment, in small quantities, frequently.
In a day or two the suffering from thirst will
cease. In a large majority it has not been
intense for, more than twenty-four hours.
Diet —Rice water, arrowroot, Lyndenham's
White Decoction, crust water, chamomile
tea, are the best articles for a day or two
after the attack is controlled. Chamomile is
very valuable in restoring the tone of the
stomach.
The Typhoid Fever.—A typhoid state for
a few days Will follow all severe eases ; there .
is nothing alarining in this. It has very
rarely proved fatal: Patience and careful
nursing will bring it all right. The greatest
danger is from drinking too freely. When
the patient seemed to be sinking, a little
brandy and water or arrowroot and brandy
have revived him. In this terrible visitation
of the cholera, we have considered ourselves
perfectly armed and equipped, with a hand
bag containing mixture No. 1, mixture No.
2, (for vomiting, etc.) a few pounds of
pounded mustard, a bottle of brandy and a
paper of chamomile flowers, and a paper of
gum Arabic.
I lay no claim to originality in recommend
ing this course of treatment. I have adopted
it from suggesstions of able and experienced
physicians. Having been the only doctor of
many poor families living near me, I have
tried various remedies recommended by phy
sicians, but I have found none to be at all
compared with the above. During the recent
cholera, I cannot ,find that any treatment has
been so successful as this.
Contagion.—The idea of contagion should
be abandoned. All the missionaries, who
have been the most with the most malignant
cases, day after day, are fully convinced of
the non-contagiousness of the cholera. The
incipient attacks, which all have suffered
from are to be attributed to great fatigue,
making the constitution liable to an attack.
OUR MINISTERS-WHAT ARE THEY
DOING?
We have, according to the statistical re
ports in our minutes, 1739 ministers and 1528
churches-211 more ministers than churches,
and yet we have 319 vacant churches. If
every minister who is pastor or stated supply
served only one church, we would have, by
adding the excess of ministers over churches,
to the number of vacant churches, 530 am
bassadors of Christ who are not statedly
preaching the Word. With 211 more minis
ters than churches it would seem that we
ought to have no vacancies; that- instead- of
churches hunting in vain for ministers, the
ministers ought to be hunting for churches.
But, of the ministers employed, several hun
dred supply two or three churches each.
Half of this number (say 120) must be added
to the 530 above. This makes 650. That
is, to put the statement in another form,
1209 of our churches are supplied by about
1087 of our ministers. And this subtracted
from the whole number 1739 leaves 650 or
considerably more than one-third of the min
isters who are not in charge of churches.
What are they doing?
Fifty-two are Foreign Missionaries. That
is is all right as far as it goes. It ought to
be two hundred and fifty-two however.
Seventy-four are Professors or Teachers.
Seventi-eight are Secretaries or Agents.
Seven are Editors.
The whole number of Foreign Missionaries,
teachers, agents and editors is 211, just the
excess of ministers over churches.
Take 211 from 650 and we have 439 minis
ters, out of 1739, who are without charge;
one-quarter of our ministers are neither pas
tors, stated supplies, missionaries, agents, edi
tors or teachers. Of this number, perhaps,
139 are superannuated. This is probably a
very large estimate. Then 300 are left with
out charge who are physically able to preach
the gospel, who have been ordained to preach
it; and 319 churches are vacant. What are
these 300 ambassadors doing? And are they
to blame in this matter, or are the churches?
We give the facts and figures. Let those
interested ponder them.—Christian Herald.

SIIMENER COMPLAINT AND DYSEN•
TERY
Bowel complaints seem just now to be the prevailing
element, and any medicine that is everywhere accept
able, and that is reliable, is a very desirable acquisi
tion. From what we have seen, heard and experienced,
we believe Davis's Pain Killer is this desideratum.
For the best method of using it, we quote from the
directions:—
"For common bowel complaints give one teaspoon
ful in a gill of new milk and molasses. in equal parts
stirred well together; lessen the time for children,
according to the age. If the pain be severe, bathe the
bowels and back with the medicine. This mode of
treatment is good in eases of the cholera morbus, sud
den stoppages, &c. Repeat the dose every hour.
"The quickest way I ever saw a dysentery cured
was by takingort7s, spoonful of the Pain Killer in one
gill of milk and molaases stirred well together and
drank hot, at the same time bathing the bowels freely
with the .medicine. Let the dose be repeated every
hour, until the patient is relieved."
If every person who has reason to fear this disease,
would provide themselves with a bottle of this medi-'
nine, and use as occasion required, we believe a great
amount of suffering and sickness would be saved.
