THE CHOLERA-ITS CURE .AND E VEN TIO The following article is published by request. The author ; Dr. liamlin, was fur many years a missionary at Constan tinople, and his experience in treating the dreadful disease has been very great, his practice having extended through three visitations of the cholera in Turkey. The suggesOuns are simple, and, if fol lowed, cannot fail to be beneficial,should the disease visit this country next sum mer, as many fear it will : 1 DEAR SIR j—The chclera, which has just left us after committing fearful rav ages, is making its way into Europe, and will probably cross the Atlantic before another summer has passed. Having been providentially compelled to have a good degree of practical ac quaintance with it, and to see it iu all its forms and stages, during each of its in vasions of Constantinoplej wish to u:ake to my friends in Maine some suggestions which may relieve anxiety or be of prac tical use. 1. 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. 2. If you prepare for it, it will not (tome. I think there is no disease which may be avoided with so much certainty as the cholera. But providential circum stances, or the thoughtless indiscretions of some member of a household, way in vite tie attack, and the challenge will never be refused. It will probably be wade in the night, your physician has been called in another direction, and you must treat the case yourself or it will be fatal. 3. Cause of Attack:l have personally investigated at least a hundred cases,and not less than three-fourths could be traced directly to imprver diet, or to intoxica ting 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 curious to ascer tain the cause. Ile had been cautious and prudent iu his diet He used nothing intoxicating. His residence was in a good locality. But after some hours of hard labor and very profuse perspiration lie had lain down to take his customary nap right against au open window through which a very refreshing breeze was blow ing. Another cause is drinking largely of cold water when hot and thirsty.— Great latigue,,great anxiety, fright, fear, all figure.among inciting causes. If one can avoid all these he is as sare from the cholera as from being swept away by a comet. 4. Sijniptonts of an cab - wk.—While cholera is prevalent in a place, almost every one experiences more or less dis turbance of digestion. It is doubtless in part imaginary Every one notices the slightest variation of feeling, and this gives au importance to were trifles.— There are often a slight nausea, ur tran sient pains, or rumbling sounds, when nu attack follows. No one is entirely free from these. But when diarrhoea com mences, though painless and slight, it is in reality the skirmishing party of the ad vancing column. It will have at first no single character 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.

Sometimes, though rarely, the attack commences with vomiting. But in what ever way it commences, it is sure to hold ou. In a very few hours the patient may sink into the collapse. The hands and feet become cold and purplish, the coun tenauce,at first nervous and anxious, be comes gloomy and pathetic, although a mental restlessness and raging thirst tor ment the sufferer while the powers of life are ebbing. The intellect remains elcar,but all the social and moral feeliiv.s seem wonderfully to collapse with the physical powers. The patient knows he is to die, but cares not a snap about it. In some cases, though rarely,the diar rhwa 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 Oil TREATMENT. 1. For stopping the .Incipient Dlarrltoia. —The mixture which I used in 1848 with great success, and again in 1855,has during the epidemic been used by thou sauds, and although. the attacks have been more sudden and violent, it has fully established its reputation for efficiency and perfect safety. It consists of equal parts, by measure, of one laudanum and spirits of camphor, two tinetur2, of rhu barb. Thirty drops for adult, ou a lump of sugar, will often check the diarrhwa. But to prevent its return care should al ways be taken to continue the medicine every four hours in diminishing doses ; twenty-five,tv,'enty, fifteen, ten, nine, six, when careful diet is all that "will be needed. In case the first does not stay the diar rhwa , continue to give increasing doses —thirty-five, forty, forty-five, sixty—at every movement of the bowels. Large doses will produce no injury while the diarrhwa lasts. When that is checked then is the time for caution. I have never seen a ease of diarrhwa taken in season which was not thus controlled,but some cases of advanced diarrhwa, and especially a relapse, paid no heed to it whatever. As soon as this becomes ap parent 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 teaspoon-ful of laudanum for an injection. Clive one third at each movement of the bowels. In one desper ate ease, abandoned as hopeless by a phy sician, I could nut stop the diarrhwa until the seventh injection, which con tained a teaspoonful of laudanum. The patient recovered, and is in perfect health. At the same time I use prepared chalk in ten-grain doses,with a few drops of laudanum and camphor to each. But whatever course is pursued, it must be follow,.!d up or the patient is lost. 2. Mustard Poultires.—These should be applied to the pit of the stomach, and kept on till the surface is well reddened. J. The patient, however well he may feel, should rigidly observe perfect rest. To lie quietly un the back is one half of the battle. In that position the enemy fires over you, but the moment you rise you are hit. When attack conies in the ferns of a diarrhwa, 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, perhaps also cramps and colic pains, e following mixture is far more • effective, and should always be resorted to. The missionaries—Messrs. Long, Trowbridge, and Washbarn—have used it in very many cases and with wonderful success. It consists of equal parts of laudanum, tincture of capsicum, tincture of giuger,aud tincture of cardamon seeds. Dose, thirty to forty drops or a half a teaspoonful in a little water, and to be in creased accordingto the urgency of the case. In case the first dose should be ejected, the second, which should stai.d ready, should be given immediately after the spasm of vomiting has ceased. During this late cholera siege no one of us failed of controlling the vomiting and also the purging by, at most, the third dose. We have, however, invariably made use of large mustard poultices of strong pure mustard, applied to the stomach, bowels, calves of the legs, feet, &c., as the case seems to require TREATMENT OE COLLAPSE. Collapse.—This is simply a more ad vanced stage of the disease. It indicates the gradual fltiling of all the powe N 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 L call the death odor, fin• when that has become decided and unmistakable I have never known the patient to recover. I have repeatedly worked uptu such cases for hours with no permanent result. But the blue color the cold extremities, the deeply-sunken eye,the vanishing pulse are no signs that the case is hopeless. scores of such cases in the recent epidemic have recov ered. In addition to the second mixture, braudy,(a table spoonful every half hour,) bottles of hot water surrounding the patient, especially the ex , ,retnitics, sina pisms, and friction, will often in au 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 symp toms return, and he falls victim to the transient gratification. The only safe way is to have a faithful friend or attend ant who will not heed his entreaties.— The suffering, may be, however, sat 31y alleviated and rendered endurable. Fre quent gargling the throat and washing out the mouth will bring some relief. A [WHOLE NUMBER 1,909• spoonful of gum arable water or of camo i mile tea may frequently be given to wet the throat. •Lyndenham's White Decoc tion may also be given, both as a bever age and nourishment, in small quantities, frequently. In _a day or two the suffer ing from thirst will cease. In a large majority of cases it had not been intense for inure than twenty-four hours. Diet.—Rice water, arrowroot, Lyndon-- ham's white decoction, crust water, camomile tea, are the best articles for a day or two after the attack is controlled. Camomile is very valuable in restoring the tone of the stomach. The I :iiphoi(7, Fever.—A typhoid state. for a few days will follow all severe eases. There is nothing alarming in this. It In, very rarely proved fatal. Ta t -knee, and careful nursing will bring it all ri — tht. The greatest danger is from drinking too freely. When the patient seemed to be sinking, a little brand Y and water or arrowroot and brandy have lc; vived him. In this terrible visitatic u°l the cholera, we have considered ( " 11 Z selves perfectly armed and equipp, lui with a hand-bag containing mixture ° I, mixture No. 2, (for vomiting, &e.,) few pounds of pounded mustard, a bottle of brandy, a paper of camomile flowers, and a paper of gum Arabic. I lay no claim to originality in com mending this course of treatment. I have adopted it from suggestions of able and experienced physicians. Having been the only doctor of many poor fam ilies living near me, I have tried various remedies - recommended by physicians, but I have found none to be at all com pared with the above. During the re cent cholera I cannot find that any treat ment has been so successful at this. Contagion.—Thuidea of contagion should be abandoned. All the mission aries who have been most with most ma lignant 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 attribu ted to great fatigue, making the consti tution liable to an attack. , The State Prisoners at the Tortu- EEO Dr. Mudd, since his attempt to escape by concealing himself in the coal bunker of a steamer, has not been able to revive the confidence reposed in him previous to that time. He is still kept under close guard, and compelled to clean ort the bastions in the casemates of the fcrt. and do some of the most menial and de grading work required to be done. In stead of becoming reconciled to his lot, he grows more discontented and queru luus He is now but little more than a skeleton, and his growing emaciation shows how bitterly his spirit chafes under his imprisonment, and how deeply the iron pierces his soul. His constant prayer is for death,which alone can set him free. It is natural lie should suffer more than his colleagues in crime. Arnold is employed as clerk of Capt. Iran Meade, post adjutant. An uncom monly fine penman and accurate account —his profession will be remembered as that of bookkeeper—and well-behaved and modest and yielding in his demeanor, he grows in usefulness and popularity each day. A guard attends him to his meals, which are the same as the other prisoners', and at night he is kept in close custody. Ills behavior shows that he appreciates his position, and that he does not like Dr. Mudd, intend to abuse the confidence reposed in him and lose it. His health is good. Spangler is at work in the quarter master's carpenter shop. Already lie begins to count the years, mouths and days remaining to complete his term of imprisonment. lie is robust and jolly— a physical condition he attributes, how ever, solely to his being innocent of any participancy in the dreadful crime charged against him. In striking contrast to the persons re ferred to is Colonel Marmaduke, found guilty of the noted conspiracy to free the prisoners at Camp Douglas,aud burn Chicago. He has charge of the post garden. In respect to manual labor, no royal gardner has an easier time. Like the lillies of the fields, he toils not. His only business is to see that those under him work. He has the privilege of going outside of the fort at any time between reveille and sunset. He does not evidently allow his prison life to interfere seriomly with his health or spirits, for both are excellent. 1u the extent of freedom allowed him,he is very much given to putting on the airs of a fine gentleman, and walks and struts about like one on the very best terms with himself and the world. —Why is a man with a curved spine like a house with a roar piazza ? Be cause he has a back stoop. —W.hen was Ruth very rude to Boaz? When she pulled his ears and trod on his corn. 1121=1 MS C. HAMLIN
