IIow to lrpnr for lt Apionh Cansr and Njinptonit of Attwck & 011 run of 'rraiimfti Prescribed -Kvery Mh.ii til Own 1'hj Mclttu I'ne Rxprl ntt Hurt t'ouclloti of KtMtern HiaolouHri Dr. Hamlin, for mivny yoars a missionary of the American fVvml at Constantinople, has fur-iitRbt-d to tlio Christian Mirror an account of hw very Burcesstul treatment ot the ciir lora in that cltv. ilia practice haa extended through, threo viHiiationa ot this dreaded disease, in 1818, 1HV, and 1805. The suggestions are so simple that we publish them, in the hope itant they will do good, it' tho cholera should visit and beomc prevalent !n the United States:- ' Dear Sir: The ruolnra, which has just left ns, niter committing l"Hrlul ravare-, in makin? its wav into biu'opc, and will probably cross the Atlnntic before another summer has passed. Having been providentially compelled to have aj;ood degree of practical acquaintance with its, jmd to see it in all its forms and staares during each of its lirvnsions of Constantinople, I wish to make to my trlends in Maine soino suirees tions which may tellevo anxiety and be of prac tical use: 1. On tho approach of cholera every family should be prepared to treat it without waiting lor a physician. It does its work so expedi tiously that, vthile you are waiting for the doc tor, it is done. 2. It you prepare for it, it will not come. I think there is no disenso which may be avoided with so much certainty as the cholera. But providential circumstances, or the thoughtless fuuitcretiouri of some member of a household, 'may invito the attack, and the challenge will never bo refused. It will probably be made in the niulit, your physician has been called in another direction, ana you must treat the case yourself, or it will be fatal. CAPFE AND SYMPTOMS. 3. Causes of Attack. l have personally inves tigated at least a hundred cases, anil liot less than tbrci'-lourths could be traced directly to improper diet, or to intoxicating drinks, or to both united. Of the remainder, suppressed per spiration would comprise a lanre number. A htrong, healthy, temperate laboring man had a severe attack of cholera, and after the danger had passed I was curious to ascertain the cause. He had been cautious and prudent in his diet, lie tis-edj notliius intoxicating. His r?:deuce was in a good locality. But alter some hours of lard labor and very profuse perspiration he had lain down to take his customary nap right asainst an open window through which a very refresh inn breeze icas Wowing. Another cause is drinking' largely of cold water when hot and thirsty. Grctit fatiifue, great anxiety, fright, fear, till figure among exciting causes. It one can avoid all these, he is as sate from the cholera as lrom being swept away by a comet. 4. Symptoms of on Attack. While cholera is prevalent in a place almost every one experi ences more or less disturbance of digestion. It is doubtless in part imaginary. Every one notices the slittiitest variation of feeling, nnd this gives nn importance to mere triiles. ' 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 diar rhoea commences, though painless and slight, it is iu reality the skirmishing party ol the advanc ing column. It will ffcve at first no single char acter 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 feel per fectly well, it will eoon 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. In a very few hours the paucnt may sink into the collapse. The hands and feet become cold and purplish, the countenance, at first nervous and anxious, tecomes gloomy and pathetic, although a mental restlessness and raging thirst torment the suf ferer whilo the powers ot lite are ebbing. Tho intellect remains clear, but all the social and moral feelings seem wonderfully to collapse with the physical powers. The patient knows he is to die, but cares not a snnp about it. In some cases, though rarely, the diarrhoea continues tor a day or two, and the foolish per son keeps about, then niddenly sinks, sends for the physician, and before ho arrives "die3 as as the fool dieth." COURSE OP TREATMENT. 1. For Stopping the Incipient Diarrhcea. Tho mixture which I used in 1848 with great success, and again in 1855, has during the epidemic been used l)y thousands, and although the attacks have been more sudden and violent, it has fully established its reputation for efficiency and per fect safety. It consists of equal parts, by mea sure, of one laudanum and spirits of camphor, two tinctuie ot rhubrrb. Thirty drops for adult, on a lump of sugar, will often check the diar rhoea. But to prevent its return care should always be taken to continue the medicine every lour hours in diminishing doses; twenty-live, twenty, tilteeu, ten, nine, "when careful diet is nil that will be needed. In case the first does not slay the diarrhoea, continue to give in increasing doses thirty five, forty, forty-five, sixty 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 season which was not thus controlled, but some cases of advanced diarrhoea, and especially of relapse, paid no need to it whatever. As soon as this becomes apparent I have always resorted to this course: Prepare a teacup ot starch boiled a9 for use in etarching linen, and stir into it a full teaspoon ful oi laudanum for an injection. Give one third at each movemeut of the bowels. In one desperate cace, abandoned as hopoless by a phy sician, I conld not stop the diarrhoea until the seventh mlection, which contained nearly a tea spoonful ot laudanum.' The patient recovered, and is in perfect health. At the same time I use Srepared chalk in ten-grain doses, with a few rops of laudanum and camphor to each. But, whatever course is pursued, it must be followed hd or the naiient is lost. 2. Mustard Poultices. These should be applied to the pit ot the stomach, and kept on till the . surface is well reddened. 3. The naiient. however well he mav feel. should rigidly observe perfect rest. To lie quietly on tne duck is one-nan ot nie Dattie. in tuat condition the enemy fires over you, but the mo ment you rise vou are hit. When attack comes in the form of a diarrhcea 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 purging, DerhaDS also cramos and colic rminti. the follow ing mixture is lar more effective, and should always be resorted to. The missionaries Messrs. Long, Trowbridge, and Washburn have used it in very many cases ana with wondertui sue tincture of capsicum, tincture of erinirer. and tincture bf curdamon seeds. Dose, thirty to jorty drops, or halt a teaspoon! ui in a little water, and to be increased according to the urgency of the case. In case the first dose should be elected, the second, which should stand readv. should be Eiven immediately alter the snasm ot vomitin ; has ceased. During this late cholera siege no one of us fuiled of controlling thdr vomiting and also tne purging by, at most, the third dose. We have, however, invariably maae use oi large musiaro poultices or strong pure mustard, applied to tho stomach, bowel, calves of the legs, feet, etc., as the case seemed 10 require. TREATMENT OP COLLAPSE, Collapse. This is simply a more advanced etaee ot ine disease, it indicates tne gradual jailing of all the powers of lite. It is ditlicult to say when a case has become hopeless. At a certain point the body of the patient beiring to emit a peculiar odor, which I call the death odor, for when that has become decided and unmis takable. 1 have never known the Daticnt to recover. I have repeatedly workod upon such canes for hours with no permanent result. But the blue color, the cold extremities, tho deeply sunken eye, the vanishing pulse, are no signs t hat the case is hopelesp. Scores of such cases in the recent cpidc""C have recovered. In adili tion to the sew mixture, brandy (a table rpoontut every ha.i hour), bottW ot hot water mrroiindinfr the patient, especially the extremi ties, sinapisms and friction, will often In an hour or two work wonders. Ihirtt In thoe, and in all advanced cases, thirst creates Intense sullcring. The Batterer craves water, and as sures as he gratifies the craving the worst symptoms return, and ho falls a victim to the transient trratlncation. The only safe way is to have a laitht'ul friend or attendant who will not heed his entreaties. The sulfcriutr may be, however, safely alleviated ond renilered endurable. Frequcut gargling the throat and washing out the month will bring some relict. A spoonful of gum araeic water or of camomile tea may frequently be given to wet the throat. Lyndenhams White Decoction may also be given, both as a bevcratro and nourishment, in email quantifier, frequently. In a day or two the fcn ffer inn from thirst will cease. In a large majority ot cacs It has not been intense lor more then twenty-tour hours. Diet. Kice water, arrowroot, Lvndenham's While Decoction, crust water, camomile tea. are the best articles for a day ortwo atter the attack is controlled. Camomile is very valuable in re storing the tone of the stomach. The lyphoid lexer. A typhoid state for a few days will follow all severe cases. There is no thing alarming in this. It has very rarely proved latal. Patience and careful nursing will bring it al! right. The greatest danger is from drinking too ireely. When the patient seemed to be sinking, a little brandy and water or arrowroot nnd brandy have revived him. Iu this terriDle visiiati m of the cholera, we have considered ourselves periectly armed and equipped, with a hand-bag containing mixture .o. 1, mixture No. 'I (lor vomiting, etc.), a low pounds of pounderi mustard, a bottle of Diandy, a pt'pcr of camomile liowers, and a paper of guui Arabic. 1 lay no claim to originality in commending this course of treatment. I have adopted it trom sugBcstiona ol able and experienced phy sicians. "Having been the only doctor of many poor families living near mo, I have tried va rious remedies recommended by physieUns, but I have found none to be at all compared with the above. During the recent cholera I cannot nd that any treatment has been so successful as this. Contatnon. The idea of contasion should be abandoned. All the niibsionaries who have been most with the most malignant ca.-es, day after day, are fully convinced ot the non-contaious-ness ol tho cholera. The incipient attacks which all have Fullered from aro to be attributed to great fatigue, niakiutr the constitution liable to an attack. C. Hamlin.

What melancholy evidence of our corruption since the Kelormation can be gathered from our ignor ance ot the meanings ol "aspergillum," "asper fcorium," "naviculai" "particle," "benatura," "stock," "aumbrev,,K and "pome." "Aspermfc lurn" is the sprinkler lor holy water, origi nally made oi the herb hyssop; and "As- ptrsorium" is a holy water brush; "be naiura" is a noly wafer etoup. We have lorms given Jor making up ana consecrating, holy water. First "lor the exorcism of salt," then "lor.tho benediction of salt," then "for the exorcism of the water," then "tor the benedic tion of the water." After which the salt is thrown iuto the water with another form of prayer, and lastly a sixth form lor the benedic tion ol the two together. When this service is joined to that for the exorcism and benediction of palms (in which holy water is required), it exceeds in length the order tor morning or evening prayer. It will be superfluous to quote tho following hint; tor tho conduct of the congregation in this service. Two acolytes bring tho palm branches to the clergy, and the clergy transfer them to the prieBt. Then ."those of the congregation who receive palms will come forward one by one in the same manner, kneeling before tne priest to kiss the palm branch and then the priest's hand. The women will only kiss the palm branch. The "navicula, or boat, is the vessel that holds the incense betoro it is put with a bpoon iuto the censer or thurible." The "particle is the crumb of broad with which the priest cleanses his thumb alter tho anointing of the s1ck.M "Stock is the vessel in which the holy oil is kept; it should have a case of purple silk, and should be preserved in the aumbrey," which "is a recess tor the preservation of the sacred ves sels." This holy oil is to be used m the form of coronation; of the conseqration of churches, and ot the visitation of the sick. It should pro- Serly be consecrated by a Bishop, but as "our ishops do not lay claim to it, it consequently reverts to the priest as Inherently within his province." "Pciae is a round ball of silver, or other metal, which is filled with hot water, and is placed on the altar in winter months to pre vent danger or accident to the ch-ilice from the hands of the priest becoming numb with cold."
