Another case of a colored man who was strictly temperate and healthful occurred an hour or two later the same night. His attack, too, was sudden, and still more severe; cramps very violent, vomiting and purging equally as severe, though he had not been awakened from his slumbers more than fifteen minutes. This case was treated the same as the former, with the emetic, sweating, and when the sweating had subsided, administered a table-spoonful of spirits of turpentine, which relieved him entirely, and he soon went to sleep. The next morning both were comfortable, and went to work and remained well. During the prevalence of cholera at that time, Mr. Forward had thirteen cases in his own family, and, on one day when the epidemic was at its height, seven cases among the laborers. All these and many others that occurred were treated in the same manner, with the same undeviating success. Not a single instance of death from cholera in his own family, or among the hands on the road. When the epidemic cholera reappeared in 1835, the same course of treatment was pursued, with the same uniform success. Such results, considering the malignant character of the disease, are truly astonishing. Whatever may be said of the general principle of practice in these cases, its success must be admitted as equaling, if not surpassing, the treatment of any equal number of cases on record. Though conducted by an unpretending and unprofessional gentleman, yet, out of the whole number attacked during the continuance of the epidemic, not a single case was lost. In a report of a case of cholera treated successfully by rectified oil of turpentine, administered internally as a specific, by Richard Brown, Esq., Surgeon, Cobham, Surrey, November, 1848, it is stated that the patient, "aged fourteen, having suffered from severe bowel complaint, presented all the symptoms of cholera in the stage of collapse. The bowels acted incessantly, and anything taken into the stomach was immediately rejected; the pain around the umbilicus was intense, attended with severe cramps of the legs; the pulse exceedingly small, and scarcely perceptible; tongue coated in the centre, and flabby; the surface of the body much below the natural standard; the countenance of a blue cast, and expressive of the greatest anxiety. So decided, indeed, was the symptom that the case was considered almost without hope." "But I had determined," says the physician "to treat the first case of cholera that occurred in my practice with rectified oil of turpentine, given internally, the active principle of which, camphogen, possesses stimulating, diuretic, diaphoretic, sedative, antispasmodic, antiputrescent properties. I administered immediately one drachm of it combined with mucilage and aromatics, directing it to be repeated every two hours, the patient to be kept warm and to take meal broth with excess of salt."
