Perfect quietude, then, on the back, is
'the first, the imperative, the essential
step towards the cure of any case of ehol
era. To this art may lend her aid to-
wards making that quietude more perfect, (
by binding a cloth around the belly pret- .
ty firmly. This acts beneficially in di- ,
minishing tho room within tho abdomen
for motion; a man may b&Q pressed in ;
a crowd as not to be able fo'6tir. This j
bandage should be about a foot brond,and
ng enough to bo donled over iho body;

pieces of tape should be sewn fo one end
of the flannel, and a corresponding num
ber to another part, being a safer and
more effective fastening than pins.
If this cloth its of stout woolen flannel,
it has two additional advantages its
roughness irritates the skin, and draws
the blood to the surface from the inter
ior, and by its warmth, retains that blood
there; thus preventing that cold, clammy
condition of the skin which takes place in
the last staces of cholcry. Facts con
firm this. When the Asiatic scourge Grst
broke out among the German soldiery,
immense numbers perished; but an im
perative order was issued, in the hottest
weather, that each soldier wear a stout,
woollen flannel abdominial compress, and
immediately the fatality diminished mora
than fifty per cent. If the reader will
try it, even in cases of common looseness
of bowels, he will generally find the most
grateful and instantaneous relief.
The second indication of instinct is to
quench the thirst. When the disease
now called cholera made itfir;-t appear
ance in the United States, in 1 831 T it was
generally believed that, the drinking of
cold waterj soon after calomel was taken,
would certainly cause a!ivatioB; and, as
calomel was usuallv
ti v-fn
cold water
was strictly interdicted.
Some
of the
most heart rending appeals I have ever
noticed were for water, water! I havo
seen thc patient with deathly eagerness
mouthe the ringer ends of the nurse, for
thc sake of a drop or two of cold water
there while washing the face. There aro
two ways of quenching this thirst cold
water and ice. Cold water often causes
a sense of fullness or oppresion, and not
always satisfying; at other times the stom
ach is so very irritable, that it is ejected
in a moment. Ice does not give that un
pleasant fullness, nor does it increase the
thirst, as cold water sometimes does,
while the quantity requiredps very mueh
reduced.
The Srsi ftep then to be taken where
cholera prevails and its symptoms stm
present, is :
To lie down on a bed.
2d. Bind the abdomen tightly wih
woollen flannel.
3d. Swallow pellets of ice to thc ftrHesfc
extent practicable. .
4th. Send for an established, resident,
regular phj-sician. Touch not an atom
of the thousand things proposed by brains
as 'simple as the remedies aro represent
ed to be, but wait quietly and pafcieutly
until the arrival of your medical attend
ant. But many of my readers may not be in"
a condition by distance or otherwise,'
wiiere it is not possible to obtain a phy
sician for several hour?, and where sack
a delay might prove fatal. Under such
eircumstances; obtain ten grains of calo
mel, and make it into a pill with a few
drops of cold water; dry it a little by the
fire or in the sun, and swalow it down.
If thc passages do not cea-e within two
hours, then swallow two more of said pill?,
and continue to swallow two more at tko
end of each two hours until the bowel
ceaso to givo light colored passage, or
until the physician arrive".
