Mr QmtUker -AfttrVibaHm hooo writ
l«0 by tbe ablest medical nso» »f (Ids coun
try a ad Europe, it our be deeosed fm
partiooot io or thus to obtrude myaetf up
on (be otteotioo of Ibe public. Tho only
apology | coo offer, is tbo panic that of
dicta our neighborhood on the approach
of tbia disease. I might add. that public
confidence seems to be pertly withdrawn
from the precautionary measures hereto
■ere recommended. To allay the fears of
the neighborhood, an<t to urge the contin
uance of tbese measures, or rather a more
system of measures, as a meant of
antire safety, is the object of this cotniuu
nicatioo.
1 To make ray views perfectly intelligible.
I will briefly state nltat I deem the pa
thology of this disease. '1 be poison which
stamps upon it its great characteristics,
whether it be rtrial or telluric, makes its
| first impression upon the stomach. Who
! tber it be directly stimulant, or not, it re
ry shortly after its admission, produces
great debility in this organ. With this
! derangement or debility el the stomach,
all the organs most closely connected with
it, or ntuae nervous influence are most
■ mutinied by its derangement, deeply sym
pathize. Although there may be no symp
toms of congestion in this state of things,
still I believe that from the operation of
this atmospheric cause, there is a strong
tendency to congestion. This cause does
not seem to make aay selection, if I may
1 »o speak, of the organ nr organa that are
found in this state The discrimination is
made by the habits,age. health, and other
, circumstances of each particular case_
Although different parts of the system are
iouud suffering, in the different rases, stdl
the general tendency in all it the same,
viz t the retrocession of blood from tin
extremities to the centre. This produces
the same outward appearances in all._
1 hough the same general remedies, such
as bleeding, fee. arc used in all, sidl the
locality of what I will term the main body
j of the disease, differs greatly in different
i eases. Except in tho rases of drunkards,
I believe the system, even when thus pre
pared, «ill never suffer an attack of eho
tiera, wurioui Inc presence ol an exeitiug
came to rouse into action these dormant
, elements of disease. This has been ques
: tioned. Hut I ha ve seen nothing to shake
my faith in threlticaey of preventive mea
sures. it carried far enough. We are told
that many temperate men hare died |
admit the fart to l>e so. And if those who
may differ from me will produce one well
authenticated case oT death from cholera,
under the circumstances which I would
recommend as a security, | will gire un
the point.
The idea of strict temperance,and such
only as ( hold to lie a security against
this disrase, comprehends two important
things: 1st. I hat the quantity and quell
ty of food and drink supply simply the de
mands or nature. These demands differ
in different person* The labouring man
require* more food tbao one of sedentary
habits, beeanse there is a greater expenrii
turc of blood by perspiration, &.c. than in
i tha latter. Thesecond thing comprehend
1 ed is,that the quantity of fo<*d,and also its
quality, should he completely within the
: control of the stomach, If more he taken
• hao the stomach will digest, even though
; it |* ordinarily a moderate quantity; or
if it be of a quality generally harmless, I
I would call this at least a very unsafe quan
tity ; or in the depressed stale of the sto
mach, I would call the quality unsafe,
howover harmless it might be at other
times.
I believe it frequently happens during
the prevalence of a cholera atmosphere,
that the stomachs of labouring men will
not digest food enough to sustain their la-1
hour. A man taking moderate exercise,
can digest in perfect safely what will sus
tain life. Hut I do not believe a stomach'
poisoned by the cause of cholera, will di
gest much more with comfort, or receive '
it in entire safety. If these views, then,'
be eorreet, it follows ikst generally the i
whole population take too much food —
I hey lake the usual quantity, and the I
whole population generally feel* the ef
fect* more or less; and when the cau«e is
very virulent, this moderate qusutitv
brings on an attack of cholera ir* very pru 1
dent, temperate men. If it be asked how i
much foo*l should be taken, I would an
■ wer, that upon inis there can be laid
down no positive ml®. More or less mat
be taken, according to tlie virulence of thr j
poison. I have felt great depression, af
ter taking less than one fourth of the usual;
quantity. When a cholera atmosphere
prevails, I have observed that whan the 1
stomach is empty, ihere is in it a comfort
able tenre ol warmth. It seems ta under '
fo a slight reaction, after its heavy task !
has been performed Persons, as lar as
my knowledge goes, do not, during surh
seasons, feel (lie usual sense of hunger.— i
Other things must he attended to—such'
■s the passions, anger, grief, joy, sorrow,*
and especially fear—indeed whatever
tends to affect the system strongly To
this may be added, the importance of
warm, comfortable clothing, changed ae- *
cording to the temperature; also, sleep,
mg warm, avoiding much exposure to the
sun, fatigue, demoness, loss of sleep, or
soy cause that will derange the system — :
I cannot close this article without calling
the attention of your readers to the dan I
ger of tobacco: It rfebditafes the stomach !
under the mast favaotaid* circumstances ; I
and how much snore destructive of its
tone must it Ire when acting incoocert with
such an agent u the came of this dread
ed scourge.

speaker army a riooa sides ia Parliament,
at meetings, &c. They sharpen the in
tellect, and accustom men to exercise
• heir judgment. Of all the means ever
devised lor extending knowledge and
improving the mind, newapapara are,
certainly, the most effective. Yol
uey, who had seen men in all the sta
ges of civilization, in his lectures on
history observes, *It i, necessary to
have lived in countries where the press
l dors not exist, to conceive all the ef
fects of its privation--to imagine the
confusion thrown into recitals, the
absurd hearsa)*, the uncertainty in o
piuions, the obstacles to instruction,
j the igr.oiance in the minds of all, t aus
(eil by the want of books and new spa
> nets. History owes benedictions to
j him who, in Venice, first thought of
j issuing bulletins of news for the small
coin railed n gttzrttr, from which thev
I have received their name ; and, in fact,
I (tasetfr* nre instructive monuments,
precious even in their aberrations, as
: they paint the prevailing spirit of the
lime*. and their contradictions present
■ fixed basis for the discussion of facts.
Hence, when we are told that, in their
; new settlements, the Anglo Americans
make first a road, and carry a pi ess for
; * newspaper, it np|M*ai» to me that. m
.that double operation, they attain the
object, and make the analysis of every
gn«>»J social system, as Society is noth
ing but the tarr/ and free coi/wiunira
Uun of //traonn. of thoughtand things;
and all the art o| Government is redu
ced to preventing violent feielioni ca
pable of dissolving it.* The opinions
palatable to ignorant men would not
be palatable to better instructed men,
' nn‘l newspapersurc constantly instruct
itig men, ami consequently disposing
them more and mure to the reception
of sound opinions. Though, therefore,
die sudden concession of newspapeiK.
to men previously in a state of brutal
ignorance, would not insure a taste for
sound opinions—and newspapers might
be disposed to cater for the opinions
most palatable to the classes among
whom they counted on circulating_
yet, the ignorance being transitory, an
increasing knowledge would constantly
increase the demand for sounder opin
tons. Newspapers,therefore,afford the
only means lor coriecting the disposi
tion to be pleased with dangerous ouin-1
ions. r

his tune, when he has any on his hand.

i . SQUEEZING the hand.
It is but lately that we have under
stood the strange constructions that arr :
sometimes put upon a squeeze of the
hand. \\ ith some persons, it is en
tirely equivalent to a declaration of
love; this is eery surprising indeed. — i
' c of • laily’s hand as,
we would take hold of a hoi pntatoe ; a- i
haul to give it squeezes, leal we should
burn our fingers. Very fine truly ! Now
it was our ancient custom to squeeze
every hand we got in ourclutclies.espe
cially a fair one. Is it not a wonder !
that we have never been sued for a
breach of promise r— We would not
give a scupper nail for one of your cold
roru.al shakes of the hand. Kvery per
son who protrudes one or two fingers
for zoo to touch, (aa if he were afraid ol
catching some cutaneous disorder,>
should go to school to John Quincy \
dams. He shakes your hand with .
v<r,fc*,snre—-and shakes your whole bo
dv with it, unless you happen to be as’
thick set as himself. Well, there ••
nothing like it—it allows a good heart
at any rate; and w e should rather a man
would crush the bones of our fingers and
shake our shoulders out of joint, than
that he should poke out a reluctant
paw. as il he were to come in rnntact
with a bear or a hvena. The ladiet
may rest assured of this, that s man who
will not squeeze their hand when he
^rit iiuiej 01 ir, dnri nut deserve In have
*uch a hand in his possession—and
that he has a heart aesen hundred and
lurty nine timet smaller than the amall
eat grain of mustard seed.
