Among the diseases allied to cholera which have been treated in Hospital during the last two months, should, it is believed, be included grave cases of fever, with striking predominance of gastric symptoms, and excessive discharges from the alimentary mucous surface, as well as the following:— Forty-three cases of febrile diarrhœa, with rice water digestions, and strong choleral tendency. Ten cases of colic, with spasms of extremities. Twenty cases of bilious cholera, making a total, exclusive of fever, of 73 cases of allied affections, all of which have ended in cure, or are making favorable progress. Some consideration of these cases, and of the various appellations applied to cholera, have led to the following remarks on THE NAME OF THE DISEASE. Although the term cholera, when applied to the disease under notice, is derivatively erroneous, it has been so long adopted, and universally employed, that it would be vain, perhaps useless, to attempt to alter it; but the adjective appellatives coupled with it are so numerous and inappropriate, so confusing, and so likely to lead to unjust conclusions, that it is desirable to substitute for them a single significant epithet. Asiatic cholera is the most common designation, and appears to be the most incorrect, inasmuch as it assumes that the disease is an import from Asia, while there is strong reason to conclude that it has no more claim to be called Asiatic than American. There is reason to conclude that the cholera now widely diffused over the United Kingdom, is not an imported product of any foreign country, near or remote, but is as much the product of the places and the circumstances of the subjects where it exists, as is ague, or bronchocele. Spasm is not peculiar nor essential to it; for severe spasms often accompany bilious cholera; and in the worst forms of this disease cramps are not violent nor continued. Spasmodic cholera, consequently, is not a proper designation. The terms “malignant,” “pestilential,” &c., which have been joined with it, convey no idea but that of destructive force, and are destitute of discriminative meaning.
