THE IN IMPORTANT FACTS IN ITS We transfer to onr from the N Y Observer tha subjoined letter from Rev Mr one at We have much reason to expect that the cholera will visit OUT vicinity would recommend to

of Mysterious that stretches its tic arms from the Ued to the White Sea and at the same moment of time kills as in u ment its hundreds and thousands in Cairo in Constantinople and in Petersburg And thus it moves onward and onward toward tbc west awaking tlie most gloomy forebodings in tions countries yet while it leaves and sorrow behind antines and are insti- in vain They ngain and been proved to he most perfectly useless in staying the march of this dreadful No quarantines nor disinfecting agents can be of any avail unless you can adopt means so general and powerful na to change the acter of the whole atmosphere around can scarcely ben douht that tho Cholera aa it is called depends upon a cause and that that cause is in the phere Recent observation seems to show that the electric or magnetic lias to do with it This is a upon sonic may be thrown in America should tho disease invade that country us now seems most probable for the electric telegraph in opera thin arc numerous than in any other part of world if as has been asserted in Europe the cholera atmosphere these instruments the fact must surely be observed in America The cholera has now existed in the city of i Constantinople for nearly one entire year though much of the it has been of i mild type limited in extent Within the bat month it has shone more cy than in any former and during ono nearly all who were attacked The number of deaths in the city from ra alone during week was reported At the same the disease has been raging at Aleppo ami various er places at the interior was fully visited a year ago and now the lins returned with violence as to drive almost every body from the city that had the means oV It has just begun its ges at Smyrna where il is to be feared it will particularly severe As I have intimated this scourge oi the race is moving j westward It will doubtless by and by ho j heard of in Franco and and it j will cross the Atlantic us before to j its direful mission in America My principal object iu the sub- ject into this Ictti't is to some facts concerning its treatment which havo been leani'd by experience in this part of the which though they may not bo now to professional men in America may tend to corroborate what thoy have already observed and beard on the subject while these of your who are not versed in science mny have their minds somewhat in knowing that there precautions which un- der God will eases secure safety e- ven in tin midst of the greatest The Asiatic cholera which when fairly seated is one of the most of all human nrl and skill and mocking all the assiduities of friendship in almost all cases begins with a mild rhea which in that stage is most easily cured True whore thp cholera is raging we are con- stantly hearing of persons who arose well in the morning and are in their graves before night and it is not to be doubted that there arc some cases in which tho of tho disease is the from which isi j rare But I can say with truth that in every j of sudden deaths in which I havo been ablo to investigate 1 have found that individual had been Generally this is HO slight as not to be much noticed it is attended with no sickness of stomach and gives the person no particular inconvenience IJui it is this very diarrhea which pre- paring for dreadful onset i of Whenever he cholera is j ing in any place it should bo a rule in every j instance to shift even lite slightest mediately For this we have a remedy always at hand Opium in some form or other must he used and without fear In the form of laudanum perhaps it may be u and most conveniently At such limes il should be found in every bouse and the master of the family should give the strictest injunction to every inmate of his house to give diate notice if attacked with diarrhea In mild cases six drops of laudanum for an adult will be sufficient to check the disease The should be repeated every knurs un- til the diarrhea is stopped This is a most im- portant direction In severe cases of diarrhea a laser dose must be used and the dose may be indefinitely without the least injury so long as tho tfic fit is nor produced I have been called to prescribe in a great multitude of of era in this incipient stage and I have found every one of them to yield to this medicine The prescription is one which our good er Doctor Smith left with liis brethren in Turkey in anticipation of the cholera when he was returning to America and by tho blessing of Uod i do believe it has saved tbc j lives of thousands Our nativo brethren in and having been ed on the subject by Dr Smith havo been exceedingly useful aa instruments of checking the disease in a great number ot cases Many even of their worst enemies among the have flocked to them for this medicine and having proved its virtues have become their best friends I have used with the best effects in many severe oases when there waa much pain and to tramps and coldness in tho ex- a of equal parts of nurn Tincture Ot thiri eighteen drops may be given for an adult at a Jose in mild cases to he ed according to circumstances Of all epi- demic or diseases none excites more general ahum than tlie malignant ra and yet 1 know of none that more timely premonitions of its approach atd tbat is so perfectly under human control so to speak as this is in its early stage Of course when there is a tendency to di- jn limes tlie strictest attention should be paid to diet and fruits and crude vegetables should be avoided Wherever tho cholera prevails it has been found most people are bowel complaints and this is an indication that the diet of ple generally should be regulated accordingly A sudden change from a generous to a low di- et iu such circumstances has been found injurious A person who is well should con- tc eat very much us he Iras been except that most people eat THK ALPS My first view of tho Alps wan at which city occurs next in rath i ti i taken a walk toward evening
