For preventing cholera: first take one tablespoonful in the morning,
fasting on cold water, one at noon, and one at night. Second, for an
attack or symptoms take from 2 to 3 tablespoonsful every 5, 10 or 15
minutes, as the case may require, until relieved, when the doses may be
lessened, or not so often. Let the patient go to bed and keep warm and
quiet as possible until relieved. Third, for the third stage or relapse,
vomiting and pain in the stomach, take from 2 to 4 tablespoonsful every 5
or 10 minutes, as the case may be, until relieved or thrown into a sweat;
cover up warm, and if cold apply plenty of hot bricks or bottles with hot
water in, to the feet, hands, body, &c. mustard plaster on the stomach,
rubbing with the hand, some stimulant, as not a moment’s time should
be lost when the cold chill comes on. Fourth stage or relapse, attended
with cold sweats and rice water discharges, take large doses every 3 or
5 minutes; continue until the patient becomes warm and easier. No time
should be lost at this stage of the disease. Apply hot bricks, bottles,
&c. as before directed; when relieved the doses may be less and not so
often--say from ½ hour to 6 hours; continue 3 or 4 days as the case may
require, and do not fail to keep the patient warm, &c.
For bilious or cramp colic, cholera morbus, flux, bilious fever, &c.
administer doses as above. Let the patient go to bed and keep as quiet
as possible until relieved. In severe cases of cholera morbus, a mustard
plaster should be placed over the stomach, which must be kept on as long
as it can be borne. Travellers and families should not be without this
medicine, as it as considered by all who have used it to be the safest
and surest remedy for the above disease ever introduced. Take a friend’s
advice and never be without this remedy, as it was never known to fail
in curing what it is recommended to do. Give it a fair trial, and its
efficacy will soon be seen. By strictly obeying the directions it is
perfectly safe and harmless; it is also good in sick stomachs, &c.
This medicine, when persevered in according to directions, will
effectually cure cholera in all its stages, and all that it is
recommended to do, which can be attested by certificates from many
persons. By adding the tincture of cayenne you will find this medicine
effectual in cramp colic; add the tincture until as strong as it can be
taken.
To be more plain and simple,--in making of the cholera medicine, if in
the summer you can set the bottle or jar in the sun, which should be when
the sun is very warm, letting it remain some 3 or 4 weeks--the longer you
distil, the better the medicine. If in the winter season, you can place
your crock on the top of the stove, keeping the fire regular, so as not
to boil--if you distil until reduced one-third, it will be much stronger
and better.
