Spirits of wine and conserve of roses Q. S.--mix--divide into twelve pills. Each of these pills, it will be observed, contains one grain of powdered opium. These are accompanied with the following: Rx. Chloric Æther, Aromatic Spirits Ammonia, Camphorated Spirits, Tincture of Capsicum. Of each, one drachm. Cinnamon water, two ounces--mix. "Cholera," observes Dr. H., "presents itself in four distinct degrees of malignity. All the modifications of the disease require to be treated on the same principles, the only difference being that, in the detail, the milder forms require less powerful doses of the medicines. The mode of treating the most malignant form of the disease, will serve as a model on which all the others are to be treated. This most malignant form has, by all writers on the subject hitherto, been pronounced incurable. They say it never was cured in a single instance, and never can be cured by the power of medicine. I shall, however, point out a mode of treating it which will prove itself infallibly successful where my directions are followed with sufficient promptness, boldness and skill." In detailing the mode of procedure, the doctor observes: "Place the patient immediately in the horizontal posture in bed, and give him on the instant, as this is an extreme case, ten of the antispasmodic pills, and two ounces of the antispasmodic mixture, and wash the whole down with a glass of undiluted brandy or whisky, flavored strongly with cloves, essence of ginger, or some such warm aromatic spice. In the mean time, have him covered with an additional blanket, and let the usual means of communicating heat, such as jars or bottles of hot water, bags of hot salt or sand, hot bricks, or whatever can be most readily procured, be applied without delay to the feet and different parts of the body, so as to restore the temperature and produce perspiration as quickly as possible. As soon as the perspiration has begun to flow freely, superadded to the medicines and cordials already administered, a glass of brandy-punch should be given, the punch to be made strong and to be swallowed hot as possible. After this, no drink should be given until the perspiration has flowed freely for a few minutes. The stomach will then retain it, and the patient should be indulged freely with copious draughts of rennet whey, warm toast-water, flavored with some agreeable spice, mint, or balm-tea, or any such mild beverage. The necessity of attending to this is most important. When the discharges from the bowels cease, and when the pulse becomes full and bounding, the body is covered with a copious, warm perspiration, which will not fail to be the case under such treatment; the danger is over. The perspiration, if the patient can bear it, should be kept up for twelve hours, and may, with advantage, be continued moderately even longer. Its duration, however, must be
