The Cholera. We copy from the Fred-i erick Herald the following very inter-' tsting letter from one of the most able physicians in this country, detailing his manner of treating the disease, and we have little-doubt that it is principally owing to the adoption of this most judi- I cious treatment, that the speedy and un- paraucjeu uecrease oi ineuhoiera in Philadelphia, is mainly attributadle. : Baltimore Gazette. Jh Dear Sir: I have delayed to an swer your letter, till I had formed some decision as to the nature and treatment ot the Pestilential Cholera which is now prevailing. These are points on which so much difference of opinion existed, that I found it impossible to make up my mind as to them, without the lights of ac tual observation and experience. 1 have now seen the disease sufficiently to enable me to arrive at satisfactory,! jand I trust, just conclusions on the subject.- iiut l cau present m the narrow compass of a letter, ouly a very concise arid im perfect exhibition of my views, add in deed, such are my incessant occupations, that 1 have scarcely leisure to execute even this slight sketch. The disease, wholly independent of contagion, is caused by an epidemic agency, oi which we know nothing with certainty. It is not improbable, however that it is owing to an aenlorm poision, which acting through tne medium ot tne stomach on the gat- tionic nerves, so impairs that system, that its functions are in a greater or less degree suspended.' As always happens, when sensorial or nervous influence is withheld, there is in this' case, a recession of blood from the periphery, and corres pondent accumulations of it in the 'deep seated vessels, subversive of. the proper distribution ot it in the circulation, at tended by a vitiation or suppression of the secretions. 1 his, in a word, is mv theo- ry ot the disease, the truth of which, I think, is sustained by the symptoms, the phenomena on dissection, and the mode ot cure It is generallv held here, that Cholera is pretty uniformly preceded by cohsid erable disturbances of the alimentary ca nal; by nausea or purging, or t he two uni ted. That aifections of this sort, are ve ry common in the city and elsewhere cannot be denied. But whether they constitute the preliminary stage of the disease ts very doubtful. It seems to me, they Ought rather to be considered as a condition, aris ng from distinct sour ces of irtitation predisposing to the ciis eaae. Can it be credited, that a cause ultimately operating so powerfully as that of Cholera, should endure for three or four or five days, merely teazing in this slight manner, the stomach or bowels! The transition from these mild and lin gering affections, to the explosion! of Cholera in its fullest force, is far too sud den and violent to suppose that they are one & the same disease, and varied only by stages. 1 know not the analogies1 by which the hypothesis can be supported. Nor is this preclusive indisposition rnen Uonecl by any of the writers on Asiatic Cholera whom I have consulted. It is scarcely to be presumed, that so promin enl and important a fact, had it an exis tauce, could have possibly escaped the attention of these very, able and experien ced historians of the disease. Being at tached to armies, and more particular!' from their position in hospitals, they er joyed the best, and peculiar advantages, , i j i ior accurate anu aiscriuiiuaiiug ouserya tion. It was first noticed, and promul gated by some of the British publications, though not sanctioned by all, and from a similar coincidence of gastric and entir etic derangement with the epidemic in this country, the notion has been espous ed by us. Be it as it may, such disor ders should at once be removed, as they are apt at all events, to invite an attack of Cholera. They do no,t differ from the? ordinary complaints, of the season, and reqnire us peculiar management. . j Genuine Cholera, for the most part, comes on with little or no premonition. The earliest syroptioms are complaints of load, and oppression, and an anxiety'a bout the proicordia, vith5 an. internal sense of heat; referrible to. the stomach or bowels, with great thirst and a whit ish tongue, and at the same time; the bead is confused, the expression of coun tenance haggard, accompanied by slight nervous tremors, muscular weakness, cool skins and either a quick and some what feeble, or a full struggling pulse. Copious evacuations upwards and down wards, of fluid resembling dirty or tur bid rice water, wilh flacculi mixed init soon occur, followed by cramps or spasms of the muscles of the extremities and ab domen. These are seldom so violent as has been repesented, and never extend to the alimentary canal. An aggrava tion of the preceeding symptoms rapidly takes place, and in half an hour or more, tho tongae becomes icy cold, the jstiu more chilled and sodden, though feeling VCDXDATTIE, SEPTEMBER 13, 1832. hot U 6 the Datient. rnvproii u.t k .... viscid perspiration, the h;,n, ,i.:".m or wilted, as if, masceraled, the mik of the fingers blue, jt he-pulse scarry! at all perceptable, the face sunken es pectially the eyes around which is a dark circle This color gradually diffuses it self ever the entire surface, partaking of the various shades of hvidness, from ! a siaiurnine lo a b tush nr ki.i-7u u.

Death ultimafolv takes in a sort of tranquil stupor, or with indescribable jactitation and distress the latter state being by far the most common. I ' As briefly described the disease, such is the tenor of its character and progress, though occasionally diversified in some repects. Ihus I have seen its accession as sudden as the electric shock, and have met with cases without spasms, or vom iting or purging. Many other anomalies mignt be mentioned, could I indulge in such details, i The disease may be prop- eny aiviaea in most instances, in two stages, that of aggression, and collapse. . vaueu ai me commencement ot an at tack, unless there is extreme depression, I bleed .Very freely, from the arm, and uniformly cup the epigastrium and give calomel largely, combined or not with opium according to the severity of the spasms. The case will almost invariably yield to these remedies, and we have no further trouble concerning it. But where the attack is confirmed, or in other words the state of collapse exists the difficulties ot management are vastly increased, and the practice is somewhat diffetent. The first step, under such circumstances, is to puke actively (with tepid salt and water; a tumbler full !at a time. This usually settles the stomach, allays thirst, produ ces some degree ot reaction, a stronger pulse, increased warmth of surface, and a resoiuiion ot tne spasms. Uo-operatmg in the same design ot arousing the vital forces, and exciting the skin particularly, the body and extremities may be rubbed with warm flannels. Let a vein be then opened, and if the blood flows freelyt take a large quantity, and especially, should the pulse tise and the blood become flor id. But -where the reverse happens, or you have slowly to coax out the blood, or -the pulse is sensibly weakened by the loss of it, stop; the. operation; and apply twenty or thirty cups to the abdomen in cluding the epigastrium, wbich,thoogh they may not draw much blood; are etni nently serviceable as" repellents. The cups are Jo be succeeded by a blister to the, same parts. Calomel is next to be given in the cjose of five, ten or twenty grains, frequently repeated till the aggre gate amounts to about a drachm, and then worked off with a table spoonful of castor oil. As.:4hexeuk of these means, there are coiijuionly billious evacuations, discharges of urine, &, other proofs of the restoration of secretory power. Little more is demanded than what has been mentioned. . 1 have, however, sometimes ' own, thougb rarely, thatal this point of case, irritability of he stomach to re- with the appearance of approach log exhaustion, iu which event siir y are to be resorted to; the best of v, are strong infusion of cayenne pepp - , r clova tea, or the spirits of camj ' , cr the aromatic spirits of ammonia, . ciiat julep.

"Thus I laid before you an outlit managing this terrible C. particu- ind the r even ration, iva!"' stily mode of - s It may be observed that, with scarcely an excep tion, it is depletory or evacuent. Delu ded by false jappearauces of debility in the disease, and still more by the weight of authority, I adopted when it first broke out among us, in common with my medical friend's, a course of practice in conformity with such an impression, and most disastrous was the issue. Nearly every patient, amounting to five or six, died. The prominent indications seem ed to call for beat to the surface, and the internal exhibition of tbe diffusible exci tants. Every variety of bath, hot water, vapour, heated air and tepical applica tions of hot sand, or oats or salt, &c. were used and also frictions with the ptrits ot turpintiue alone, r united with camphorated mercurial ointmeut, and other articles. Brandy, ether, camphor, vol alkali, &n.!L'c. were jn succession tried, and the vlH!e ol" these means with uo other effect, than an inconceivable i exasperation. The.suffering indeed, in duced, was as great as 1 have ever wit nessed, ir'otn the application of any remo dial process. No practical lesson is more important than that in the cure of ; this disease, all such appliances and med icines are mischievous, till evacuations are promised,- and then lo be most dis creetly directed. ' l. It were easy to acquaint you with di, vers other methods of treating this epi demic, or to enumerate a number of spe cial remedies that have been proposed. Dismayed, as it were, by the fearful character of the disease, practitioners have been too prone in its treatment, to ibandoa their principles and well tried remedies, in analogous cases, to seek a resource in specifics and noustrums. ; I do not mean to vaunt of my success, but on a fair comparison of all that I have seen attempted, I am led, to an un qualified prefernce of my own plan.. It cannot be charged with being tentative, or empirical is deduced from establish ed! views of pathology and therapeutics, and is sanctioned in most of its features by the lebgtheuea and concurrent expe rience of the distinguished and authori tative waiters on the. disease in India. Many may be cured bv it, and some will sink under the force of the attack in de spite of, your efl'orts. Thexase not be ing too lar advanced, a triumph over the dise.jse is pretty certain.
