Report of Edinburgh Hoard of Health
ox tuk mods or rnttvKXTixo and treating
TI1E CHOLERA.
Nov. lCj 1832.
The Edinburgh Board of Health having ma
turely considered, wlmt steps should lie taken for
checking tho Epidemic Cholera, if it should ap
pear in this city, are of opinion that .the proper
tilde has now arrived for mnking public the fol
lowing directions for the guidance of the inhabit
ants.
I. The ’L-ard arc satisfied, that tliedisensc may
arise spontaneously from hidden causes; and that
it may also become contagious in circumstances
not yet ascertained. But they arc fully warrant
ed in declaring, that, when it does hccomo conta
gious Ihe risk of its spreading in that maimer is
very much diminished if duo attention lie paid to
cleanliness and sobriety. And they therefore in-
treM the inhabitants of Edinburgh, in tho event
of die disease appearing here, mil to he misled by
exaggerated notions of its contagious nature,—
the inevitable tendency of which would be to leave
the sick helpless, and without that attendance
from friends and others, which is more pressing-
ly required m this disease than in any other.
II. Experience has show ii, that the most essen
tial precaution for escaping the disease is sobrie
ty— that jutoxication during the prevalence of tho
epidemic is almost sure to ho followed by nn at
tack—and that those addicted to drinkiug are the
most subject to take cholera, aud the most likely
to sink under it. In liko manner, strict attention
to personal cleanliness—to cleanliness and vcntil-
latiou of dwelling houses—to warm clothing—to
regularity of hours for sloep—to keeping as much
as possible within doors at night—and to taking
food heforegoingoutin the morning—may he ro
lled on as important means of security.
III. The Board are providing, thntshould the dis
ease appear, several hospitals shall Ira opened o-
•ver the city;—also that stations shall bo establish
ed, where, as well ns at the hospitals, medicines
and heating apparatus may be procured at all
hours of the day and night; and likewise, that if
necessary, all night watchmen shall lie supplied
with medicines for the immediate use of any who
need them. By these means it will lie in tho pow
er of every ouc to procure instant aid.
Notice of the situations of hospitals and stations
for medicines will be given the instant tho disease
mnv appear.
IV. But to prevent the possibility of delay espe
cially nt the nend of night, when the disease is ve
ry apt to begin, the Board recnuiincud families
to provido the following articles:
1. Mixture—Take sulphuric ether nnd aromat
ic spirits of hartshorn, of each half an oiiuce,
compound tincture of ciuimiuou, oue ouce: mix
and cork up carefully.
2. Laudanum—An ounce to Jjo kept in readi
ness.
3. Pills—Take opium twenty-fourgrains, cam
phor one drachm, spirits of wine and conserve of
roses enough to make a mass of proper consis
tence. Divide into twenty-four pills.
4. Clysters—Take of Laudanum nn ounce,
tincture of assnfmtidn two ounce*: mix for keep
ing. Before using, mix three tcaspoonfiils with
a wine glassful of thin starch; and retain it, when
iujeeted, liv pressure below with a warm cloth, as
long as possible.
5. Mustard Poultices—Have always at hand
four ounces of powdered mustard. A fourth part
of this, spread over porridge poultices, will be suf
ficient for one patient.
6. Hot-air Bath—The Board hare approved
of a hot-air hath of a simple construction, which
maybe seen at tho Blind Asylum, nnd made hy
any carpenter, price about ten shillings. Every
family who <• •• afford it ought to havo one.
V. No ti-.-.e should lie lost in sending for medi
cal aid. But when tho disease commences sud
denly in a violent form, it is dangerous to loso c-
ven the time which must pass before such aid can
be had. This form is at once known by sudden
weakness, a contracted ghastly countenance,
blueness of tho lips, and general coldness, nc-
companyingor proceeding vomiting, purging and
cramps.
In such cases, the friends will, without delay,
give n table spoonful of the Mixtures, No. 1. with
fit) drops of laudanum, in half a wine glassful! of
cold water. Follow tills with a table spoonful
occasionally of warm spirits and water, or strong
ly spiced wine. Repeal two spoonfuls of the
Mixture, with 30 drops of landamtm, every half
hour if the first dose fail toreliove.—If die mix
ture ho vomited, then give two Pills, No. 3, and
repeat oue every half hour if tho first two fail to
relieve or he vomited. But after tho vomiting
and cramps cease, the Mixture or Piils must not
be repeated without medical advice.—Tho Clys
ter, No. 4, should he resorted to also from the
first, nnd repeated once if not retained.—[N. B.
The doses nf the Mixture, Laudanum, Pills nnd
Clyster must not he exceeded. For children of
fourteen half tho doses mentioned, nnd for chil
dren of seven one-fourtli is sufficient.]—The Hot
air Bath—nr, if it is not at hand, dry neat over the
whole body in any shape, such a* hy hot blankets
and hot bricks, sand, salt orbottlos of hot water,
together with constant rubbing of the whole body,
should likewiso ho resorted to from the first.—
The Mustard Poultices should, as soon ns possi
ble, he applied over the belly and on ihe soles and
calves, nnd kept nn till the pullout complains of
the smarting.
By the time these measure* have been put in
force, opportunity will havo been given for procu
ring medical advice; which is indispensable for
the treatment afterward*. The Board think it
necessary to Apprise the public, that where this
disersc H.4Y prevailed, bloodletting, W hen resort
ed to witliiu the first, second or third hour from
tho eonimmiceniimt of tho attack, lias been very
generally found useful along with the other reme
dies. notwithstanding the appearance of sudden
wcakucti and excessive sinking already mention
ed.
VI. By following three rules, and taking prompt
advantage of the provisions made at the station-
points, the Board are convinced that in many ea
se* it will he checked nf the oe'sot. Jlna, fit the
same time, they strongly exhort the Inhoring class
es to convey their sick friends with nil speed to
the hospitals, rather than try to core them at
home, where they can seldom have the proper
means at command; The hospitals will, it 11 hop
ed, ho so numerous, ’hat one shall lie near every
man’s habitation: nnd carriages, to serve at the
snmo time as dry-heat hatha, may ho found al
ways ready at tho hospitals and station*, for the
instant removal of putleift* nt all hours nf the day
and night. The Board feel assured, that by
quickly’ availing themielve* of these provisions,
working people Will get tlieir sick friends hronght
sooner and far more effectually under treatment
than in nay nthor wav: that they must uot forget,
that every minute’* delay it highly dangerous.
VII. The moment the disease is suspected to
have appeared, information must bo given to
William G. Cunningham, Esq. Clerk to the
Board, at the city Chambers. .* *id should it es
tablish itself in the town, medical men nre ex-
prrled tu scad to the same quarter, every morn
ing before halt' past nine, a report of each m..v
case, death or recovery, specifying the name, age,
employment, date of seizure", nnd date of thee-
vent. The Board anxiously look for punctuality
in this respect from every medical person.

Return home nt an early hour, iu order to avoid
the cold nnd damp of the night nip.
Avoid at much as possible excessive fatigue,
Whatever may he the weather ortha season do
not go too lightly clad.
Sobriety cannot he too strongly recommended;
consequently avoid all excesses of eating and
drinking, for it has been observed that drunkard*
and debauchees have been most exposed to the at
tacks* of tho cholera.
Let your food ba principally meat and meat
soups; eat as little as possible of chareuterie and
salt meats, and "ahstaiu entirely from heavy pas
try.
Abstain from undressed food of every descrip-*
tion.
All eold drinks taken when a person is heated;
nro at all times dangerous. Tho water used a*
a beverage ought to be clonr. Filtered water is
better than any other. Instead ofdrinking it pure
it would ho better to mix it with two teaspoonsfitl
of brandy nr ahsinthe to a pint. YVator lightly
mixed with wiuo is equally good.
Tile excessive use of strong liquors it very per
nicious, nnd taking unmixrd hrnudy when fasting
is equally so. i’ersont wlto have contracted the
habit of doing so, should at least, first cat a piece
of bread. The snmo objections apply to drinking
white wine fasting.
All boor and cider of bad quality ought to be
avoided.
Every person who feels himself suddenly affect
ed by dull pains in tho limbs, heaviness or giddi
ness of tho head, a fooling of oppression, nneasi-
itcss of the chest, heartburn, chnlie, should imme
diately apply to a physician, or the next Bureatf
ile Sccmtrs.
FersniMthus affected should immediately go to
bed, ami take, quite hot, an infusion of pepper
mint nud flowocs of the lime tree, and heat him
self l>y every possible means.
Prepared chloric solutions being universally re
commended as a useful precaution against infec
tion of any kind, it may be desirable to give the)
following receipt for mnking them.
Take one ounce of dry chlointe oflime.aad
one quart of water, pour a sufficient quantity ort
the powder to make it into paste, and then dilute
it with the remainder, strain off the solution, and
keep it in a glass or enrthern vessels well stopped;
a portion of this solution should be poured into it
shallow howl, and placed in every room in the
house. g
The chlorate of soda is near as good; it is to b#
used in the same mnnner, in the proportion of one
ounce of chlorate to ten or twelve ouaeei of wa-
tor. ■■ ——
Cure of Cholera Tho London Times of May

py, recommending a mode of treatment, svliich
tho writer states to hare been hitherto Utmost uu-
f filing in the cure of cholera!
To the Editor of the Timet!
81 a—The treatment of the cholam, which hM
been so strikingly successfnl iu Coldbath-flold*
Prison, having already attracted considerable puh^
lie ntteniinn, I hasten to request of you to give
the requisite "publicity, through your widely cir
culated journal, to arcinedy ns simple as scientific/
It is needless now to enter upon tho theory of
tho practice, which, on sound data, has been sugz
gested by Dr. Stevens, but suffice il to say, that
experience ha* assured mo of its efficacy and v*-'
hie- After premising that upwards of one hun
dred cases more or less malignant, have occurred,
with the lots of only seveb; (tho first four prior to
the adoption of the treatment,) I shall at ouce de
scribe it.
Tho usnal enre must be taken to promote
warmth by friction, hot dry flannels, hot watoi'
bottles to the feet, and mustard poultice* to. the
chest and other pnrts iff the body affected by
cramp; but the main relinuce is upon tho follow
ing powder, to be administered every hour in half,
a tumbler of cold water, natnoly, carbonate of
soda half a dram: common salts 20 grain*; oxy-
mariale of potash 7 grain*/ However rrrilnblo
the stomach maybe, iho common Soidlifx powder
or effervescent soda dranght, ttllk io most ra«c«,
quiet it; but, when it will retain nothing in quanti
ty, a tea-spimnfld of the carbonate of soda should
be dissolved m half a tumbler of wnter, nnd giv
en in such quantities a* the patient can retain,
from a tea-spoonful and nptvanis, until the sto
mach i* sufficiently settled to receive the powders.
In cases of cholera, however, tho most unceasing
watchfulness and attention to thepaiients are re
quired. The successor this treatment, Whicff, in
many Instances, wa* perfectly surnmme, induce,
me to hope that It may he oxtensivoly adorned?
nnd, I am sore, you willehnfot' a great benefit <>n
the community at large by its pubi-ntton.—1 have
