Another recipe which has been used with some success in private practice, illustrative of the use of chloroform as a diffusive stimulant and sedative, is the following: Rx. Chloroform (sq.) } Spts.

Should the first dose be ejected, give another immediately after the vomiting. In collapse, which is simply a more advanced stage of the disease, indicating the gradual failing of all the powers of life, our main reliance is on enemata, as noticed above, often repeated, and continued as occasion may require. Rev. Dr. Hamlin, of Constantinople, observes, "It is difficult to say when a cure has become hopeless. The blue color, the cold extremities, the deeply sunken eye, the vanishing pulse, are no signs that the case is hopeless. Scores of such cases in the recent epidemic have recovered." Here it may be proper to add, that a cure, even with the most efficient remedies, cannot be easily effected without placing the patient at the commencement in a recumbent position. This appears indispensable. The patient should be placed in bed and kept there in the horizontal position, comfortably covered with blankets, and with warm applications to the feet. Every necessary convenience should be at once provided to prevent, if possible, the patient from rising to, or standing upon, his feet, for the erect posture, before relief is fully obtained, will inevitably hasten the unfavorable termination of the disease. On this direction, therefore, the physician must insist if he would save his patient. Says an eminent physician, perfectly familiar with the disease, "This direction faithfully observed, and good nursing, will save very many patients even without medicine."
