As regards driniables, 4 following must
be especially avoided : “bad water, sour
beer, curdled milk, and the use of spirituous
liquors ; a small quaatity of the last men

DIRECTIONS
for attending to the symptoms of the
CHOLERA, and the treatment of the case
previous to medical aid being obtained.
The Cholera comes on either suddenly,
or after a patient has for some time felt
unwell and has suflered from debility,
restlessness, heaviness of the head, giddi
ness, oppression in the pit of the heart,
dislihe to food, nausea, vomiting, and—
almost always—diarrhea either with or
without griping, and spasms in the limbs.
The sic'c person must immediately go to
bed and be covered well, and against the
aiarrhea or grping w the stomach take 20
drops of Cawsphior drops, Hoflinaun’s drops,
or Peppermint, every hour, to be repeated
several times, and frequently take warm
draughts, f. i. s2'=s, soup made of rice, oat
meal or barley, common tea or tea made of
chamomile, of the elder flower or of pep
permint, with adimixture of a small quanti
ty of wine or brandy.
Perspiration beine always beneficial, and
in order to promote 1t the more, the patient
may take Minder drops, (Spiritus Mindere
ri,) according to thc age, say from one *
teaspoonfull to one tablespoonfull every
second hour.
Should the warm draughts be obnoxi
ous to the patient, or increase the vomiting,
then it may be very beneficial to give cold
water, especiaily iced, say a glass every
quart or halt’ hour, mized with Minder
spirits or camphor-drops. In case the
diarrhea continues, then to a grown person
may be given 10 to 20 drops of laudanum
together v oo conoplor drops, and for
the griping of the stomach rubbing with
thick camphor-oil alone or mixed with
about one sixth part of laudanum. :
The violent symptoms, that either come
on suddenly or eusue after those milder
ounes stated above, are frequent and pain
less diarrhea, vomiting, great thirst, heat
inwardly ; the breath as well as the
tongue and the skiu, especially on
the hands and feet ice-cold, the skin
shrunken, pale or bluisl, often with cold
sweat, the eyes sunken with blue rings
around them, the voice hoarse, the pulse
weas, scarcely to be felt, stoppage of
urine ; severe cramps come on at times in
the pit of the abdomen, in the arms and the
legs, dulluess and indifference. though withe
out loss of the senses, and often strength
enough to walk even shortly before death.
The evacuations from vomiting and
diarrhea may at the commencement be
bilious, but afterwards covsist of a limpid
or mucous humour somewhat like thin
oat meal soup or rice water. &
In these cases must be applied, besides
the means already mentioned, friction with
the ‘hands, with flesh brushes or woollen
cloth’ _déppe'd into brandy mixed with salt
aid black pepper” (a spoonfull of éqéfi)_,“:qt
dipped in spirits of camphor or oil of tur
pentine ;—where the skin is most cold a
