prevailing disonio.
Middletown, (Con.) July 12,1332.
Dear Sfti—To me, and those of my medical
brethren, who have been familiar with typhus
svncopalis, and with other cool, sinking, febrile
diseases, during tlio last twenty-five years, tho a
Inrm which b prevailing on account of the appear
ance of thcr cbolera, is a matter of surpriso and.
regret. Ifrls a matter of surprise, that there
should be so little accurato information upou tho
subject, aud of regret, that tlicro should have ex
isted so littlo curiosity to hecomo acquainted with
the symptoms and treatment of a diseaso Which
has frequently prevailed in -our country. This
disenso is typhus syneopohs; sinking typhus; or,
os it is often improperly called, spotted fever; a
malady which at various limes has exhibited all
tlio phenomena of raalignaut cholera, and iu tho
worst cases, is probably full as rapid and severe
and fatal. Tho only important difference which
I can perceive between the two comnl-'n’s H
till I had uSed eight or ten of them; aiu-rwurds
easing off with the opirnm by taking* grain eve-
ry two, three or four hours. I think I .was oMig-
ed to continue the groin every four hours, for se
veral day*. The first day, 1 drank perhaps a pint
of brandy in tlio twenty-four hours. The sue*
reeding aays.Iuscd about apinc each day of good
Madeira. 1 was at New Londou, my own phy
sician—and recovered so as to walk out in about
five days. I considered this case,- from extVimf
faintness, debility, coolness, &c. attending tho at
ack, as severe as choje ra; and that I should prob
ably havo died, hud 1 not begun within half an
hour of the access.
No temperate man should make any great or
sudden change in his mode of living, orin his ha-
liits, under tho idea of prevention. Families
should he welt fed, well elm hod, continue without
excess their customary food and dfink, and avoid
any unnecessary purging and vomittiug, orrcduc-
ing medicine of any kind. If a laxative is neces
sary, in case of costivencss, an aloetic pill, or a
moderate dose of elixir proprictalis, or compouud
tincture of rhubarb, or calcined magnesia, is
much better than salts, orscidlitz waters, or any
other debilitating cathartic. For those who are
feeble and are debilitated by hot weather, so as
to appear predisposed to diseaso, a tea spoonful
of tincture of the bark, two, three, or four times a
day, iu half a glass of wine may be proper.
Tlio well, however, need no medicine to make
them better, or to protect them. Whether Cho
lera is contagious or not, it is ovidently not a whjt
mara M tbaa any nther Severn fever: and, ail indi
vidual is no more likely to take the diseaso by
watching with his friends or children, than he is
liable to have typhus by tlio samo means. It is
certainly not so infectious as dysentery. If I
could be assured that I should not want for nurs
ing, and that my physician was energetic, and uot
more afraid of opium and alcohol, than of tho
disease orof death itself, 1 would never (hi o from
the complaint, because it might be ill my vicinity.
On pagc*37and39 of iny pamphlet on typhus
syncopatis, you will find two successful eases,
which will exhibit tho outline of my views of treat
ment of sinking typhus. I hope you will find leis
ure to read the whole pamphlet which I now send
-ton, with attention. In general, I imagino, cho
lera requires a more energetic application of ex
ternal hoat, than was ordinarily demanded, or ad-
tnissahlo, iu our disease; though this is an essen
tial means iu many of the sudden changes of sink
ing-typhus. '
Cholera, like othor diseases, is modified hy cir
cumstance*. In A*ia} it was t orcly followed hy
fever, nnd when il was, it was n light bilious fever.
In Europe, when not suddenly fatal, tho sequel
is frequently a typhoid state, for a week, or long
er, requiring, in my opinion, a continuation,
though in a leu degree, of opium, alcohol, wine,
aromatics, See. while tho fever lasts, with very
groat caution as to cathartics, or any other redu
cing process. In Eurqpe. there have boon many
cases of tho epidemic without either of the symp
tom* of vomiting or purging, These oro pure
•inking typhus, iu tho worst dogreo. Yours, with
scutimcuts of sincore respect nnd friendship,

Middletown, July 12.
In a sudden had case, 1 would begin With a
lea-spoonful of laudnnum, or (if this is rejocted)
with three grains of opium, and pursue it cveVy
ten, fifteen or twenty miuntes, till all (ho symp
tom* are controlled, assisting it with a» much
botbraudy and water, doves, ginger mid penny
royal tea, ns tho stomach will bear, with pepper
mint. \\ hen tlio patient is relieved, a grain of
opium should be. coutitiucd every three hours,
sometimes for days. An old fmbioucd sweat is
perhaps host at first; but wheu ihero is much
spontaneous (wanting, dry hoat from bottles of
hot water, hot bricks, hot fiat irons, or bags of
hot sand, hot ashes, are preferable to warm the
patient. No matter what is said about purging
—diarrhoea is immediately to ho suppressed in
these times, by takiug occasionally, any after ev
ery evacuation, a grain of opium, and if olixti
nate, a grain or two of capsicum, in pill, with it.
And if a laxative hecomo* neccss^y from - cos-
tiveuosj, a grain of opium is also to lie taken in
the same way, to prevent iu working too much.
Whore tho urine is suppressed, blisters should be
successively applied inside tho thighs. To make
blisters and sinapisms sure of taking'effect, they
should havo their surface moistened with oil ol
turpentine, but bo removed when they causo se
vere pain, which is often tho enso.
P. S. Tho grqnt error in treatment of cholera
seems to bo, thatrtihjiieiani and attendants give
out as soon as collapse comes on, whoreas in
whatever difference there mmy be intbcirH
