PROSPECTUS
OF
COYLE’S MONTHLY RETROSPECT
OF AMERICAN AND FOREIGN
HYDROPATHIC PRACTICE.
Published monthly at the Water Cure Institute,
MILLEDEVILLE, GEORGIA,
Newspaper Postage only—within thirty miles/rec.
The object of the present enterprise, is an
-k- attempt to meet the demands orthe public,
by furnishing the physician, surgeon and layman,
with a correct channel pf information of the Wa
ter Cure practice, at the least possible cost of
time and money. We purpose publishing in each
number condepsed reports of cases, as well for
eign as domestic, as well of those treated at our
own establishment as those at the different estab
lishments throughout the country, treated hydro
pathicaily, with the magnitude of their disease,
the modus operandi of the treatment, &c. &c.
with occasional remarks and abstracts of the med
ical and surgical literature of the day,
Wc have in our possession a variety of Hydro
pathic works, some of which are very valuable,
which dp-notcome within the purview of readers
at large. We shall from time to time quote from
these works their most important parts, more
especially those, which relate to the manipulation
and modus operandi of healing by water. Re
serving to ourselves the right of making such
comments and remarks as w r e deem proper.
This enterprise having been suggested by many
members of the profession, as well as the pub
lic at large throughout the Southern States, as a
desideratum in thq Water Cure Treatment not
yet supplied in the South, and the want of which
is most sensibly felt. It will at a glance be seen
that, at a price so low, a work like this can only
be supported by a very extended circulation.—
But the desire expressed for such a publication,
and the advantages offered tnrough its pages, are
such as to cause us to anticipate a liberal suc
cess. We therefore request all to whom this
prospectus is sent, who are in favor of imparting
to mankind a knowledge of th.e laws which govern
life, health and disease, to aid. the cause by bring
ing it to the notice of their brethren. °
The First Number will be published on the 15th
of January, 1848.—Price one dollar per Annum,
in advance.

GENTLE WORDS.
A young rose in the itimmer *ime
Is beautiful tq me,
glorious are the niaby stars
That glipimef on the s^x;
But gentle words and loving hearts.
And hands tp clasp my own,
Are better tfian the finest flowersj
Or stars that ever shone.
The sun may warm the grass to life,
The dew, the dripping floyver,
And eyes grow bright and watch the light
Os Autumn’s opening hour.
But words that breathe of tenderness
And smiles we know are true,
Are warmer than the surotper time,
And lighter than the dew,
It is not muph thp world can give;
With all its subtle art,
And gold, and gems are not the things
Tq satisfy the heart;
Bat oh, if those who cluster round
The altar and the heartli,
Have gentle words and loving smiles,
How beautiful is earth j
MINISTERING ANGELS.
BY EMILY E. CHUBUCK;
Mother has the dove that nestled
Lovingly upon thy breast, ‘
Folded up its little pinion,
And in darkness gone to rest?
Nay, the grave is dark and dreary,
But the lost one is not there j
Hear’st thou not its gentle whisper,
Floating on the ambient air 1
It is near thee, gentle mother,
Near thee at the evening hour;
Its soft kiss is in the zephyr,
It looks up frpna every flower,
And wljeri Right’s dark shadows fleeing,
Low thou bendest thee in prayer,
And thy heart feels nearest heaven,
Then thy angpl babe is there.
Maiden, has thy noble brother,
On whose manly form thine eye
Lov’d full oft in pride to linger;
On whose heart thou could’st rely,
Though all other hearts deceived thee,
All proved hollow, earth grew dear;
Whose protection, ever o’er thee,
Hid thee from the cold world’s super*-**
Has he left thee there to struggle,
All unaided on thy way * ‘ ~
Nay, he still can guide aud guard thee,
Still thy faltering steps can stay |
Still when danger hovers o’er thee,
He than danger is more near,
When in grief thou’st none to pity~
He, thp sainted, marks each tear.
Lover, is the light extinguished,
Os the gem that in thy heart
Hidden deeply, to thy bping
All its sunshine coulcl impart?
Look above I ’tis burning brighter
Fhan the very stars iff'heaven j
And to light thy dangerous pathway,
All Its new found glory’s given."’’
With the sons of earth commingling,
Thou the lov’d one may’st forget,’
Bright eyes flashing, tresses waving,
Many have power to win thee yet;
But e’en then that guardian spirit
Oft will whisper in thine ear,
And in silence, and at midnight,
Thou wilt know she hovers near.
Orphan, thop most sorely stricken
Os the mourners thronging earth,
Clouds half veil thy brightest sunshine,
Sadness mingles >vith thy mirth.
Yet, altho’ that gentle bosom,
Which has pillowed oft thy head,
Now is cold, thy mother’s spirit :
Cannot rest among the dead
Still her watchful eye is o’er thee,
Thrpugh the day, and still at night.
Hers tfie eye that guards the
Making thy young dreams so bright,
O 1 the friends, the IVienda w.e’ve cherished
How toe weep to ‘see them die—
All unthinkling they’re the angels
That will guide us to the sky !

What can it be that shines so? it purifies my sight;
I feel my eyes are open ip the glory of this light;
Before the strength within my sopl my head bows
like a reed,
And from each bond of meaner kind my heart ig
gently freed.
In death wings plume our shoulders, so djd opr
youth believe ;
Yes, then the wings which lifts from change oilr
panting souls receive.
Amid the starry system, beyond earlh?s farthest
reach, ‘
I see a Godhead’s greatness, surpassing human
speech.
I see a vast eternity in all ? even in my heart j
And every cloud dissolves in light as this world’s
shores depart.
Now for the first time can I read my brother’s
heart aright;
We all of us are poor and weak, but none are
evil qpite.
Oh, if we could, while yet on earth, as plainly
others know,
As we are known upto ourselves, wp should not
grieve theip so.
In great things and in small alike myself I truly
scan,
But ’tis in death that first we learn to know our
brother man !
My faith is clear, I am so light, am of such bliss
possessed—•
I feel a strife, an impulse, apd yet a heavenly
rest!

There is a land, of ev’ry land the pride,
Belov’d by Heav’en o’er all the world beside.
Where brighter suns dispense serener light,
And milder moons emparadise the night;
A land of beauty, virtue, valor, truth,
Time-tptor’d age, and love exalted youth ;
The wand’ring mariner, whose eye explores
The wealthiest isles, the most enchanting shores,
Views not a realm so beautiful and fair,
Nor breathes the spirit of a purer air;
In ev’ry clime the magnet of his soul,
Touch’d by remembrance, trembles to that pole;
Pot in this land ofHeavens peculiar grace.
The heritage of nature’s noblest race,
There is a spot of earth supremely blest,
A dearer, sweeter spot than all thereat;
Where man, creation’s tyrant, lays aside
His sword and sceptre, pageantry and pride.
While in his soften’d looks benignly blend
The sire, the son, the husband, father, friend;
Here woman reigns—the mother, daughter, wife,
Strew with fresh flow’rs the narrow way of life j
In the clear Heav’n ofher delightful eye
An angel guard of loves and graces lie;
Around her knees domestic duties meet.
And fire-side pleasures gambol at her feet.
Where shall that land, that spot of land, be found!
Art thou a man ? —a patriot?—look around ;
O, thou shall find, how’er thy footsteps roam,
That land thy country, and that spot tby home !

THE CHOLERA.
It is well known to our readers that, during
the last year, the Cholera has been moving West
ward from its grgod reservoir In tfle interior of
Asia, revisi.ing many places in Western Asia
and Eastern Europe which it cjothed in mourn
ing fifteen or sixteen ago. Asa general remark,
it may be stated, that, on [bs present occasion
the disease has been less malignant than before,
end has attacked a much |pss portion of the pop
ulation. But there bkfr& been melancholy ex
ceptions, both in respect to the character of the
disease and the number of victims. We recen
tly published a deplorable account of its ravages
in Qoromiah (Persia) and the adjacent yillage,
the inhabitants of which are chiefly Nestarians.
Trebizonde, on the South coast of the
Black Sea, is another city which has suffered
terribly front its ravages. A letter n£ Oct. Bth
front that place, says!
“ The cholera has yisUaJus this year severely
It appeared in the middle of August, under the
milder form of cholerine, but op the 9th ot Sep
tember it assumed its terrible character, reached
its climax oc the 22d of the same month, and
disappeared on the lfJth of this month. Al
though more than half, some say two thirds, of
the inhabitance left the city (the population ot
which amounts to about 40,000 souls,) there
were daily fresh cases of 400 persons who were
attacked by it, and of these 120 to 110 died daily
‘X’here was a general depression; nearly all the
places were shut up, and nobody came in from
the villages. The want of provisions was great,
especially of bread, and of charcoal ( the usual
fuel of the inhabitants of the East. ) The price
of one egg was equal to what’in ordinary times
is paid for one dozen. Thus you see what has
become of this fine city, “the seat of peace and
happiness, ’’ as it wassojustly designated. The
steamer? coming from Constantinople would take
in neither passengers nor goods, ip oder to avoid
the quarantine, on their return : and now any
thing cqming here from Constantinople is pla
ced under quarantine, since the cholera has bro
ken out there. ”
At Moscow, which has a population of about
300,000, the number of cases from the appear
ance of the disease to the 22d of November,
when it was evidently on the decline, was 2360
of which 1097 terminated fptallv. fn tho pity
of New York in 1832, yyith about the same pop
ulation, the number of deaths by cholera was
3513 ;or more than three times as many gs in
Moscow at the present visitation. Accounts
from St. Petersburgh of Dec. 2d, state that the
disease was declining in §ll parts of the empire
where it had broken out, except ip thp govern
ments of Pultowg and Tchernigoff, where it ap
peared to increase. The place newly invaded be
the cholera are Mohilelf, on the Dnieper Kher
son, on the Black Sea ; Yologeja and Tver, on
the road from Moscow to St. Petersburgh; hut
in those places it was of a mild character. In the
country districts of the government of Moscow,
there were 141 cholera cases, and 50 deaths.
At KiefF, from the 9th to the 16th of November,
there were 179 cases and 129 deaths. In the
province of Kieff, up to the l&th JY° ve niber, 93
persons died opt of 139 attacked. With the
cold season, and the advance of the malady to
ward the West, the disease had lost a great deal
of its- energy.
The Florence pfazet[e states that several ca
ses presenting all the symptoms of Asiatic chol
have manifested themselves at Venice, and in
the island of Palma.
There were rumors of its appearance both in
London and Paris. The London Times of Dec
11th says, (( We are informed that there have
been several unmistakeable cases [of Asiatic
Cholera] in the metropolis during the past w eek
None, however, are recorded in the official bill
of mortality for that week. The London corres
pondent of the National Intelligencer vyrites from
London, under date of Dec. 16th, as follows: —■
“ An alarming piece of news is, that the cho\-
era is undoubtedly in London, and lias broken
out with extreme virulence in Golden-lane, and
other dppsely populated parts of the city. The
police keep watch and ward there to interdict
communication. The symptoms of the disease
are of a very alarming nature, exhibiting itself
in plague spots , and other feareful characteris
tics. This is truly a melancholy close to my
communipction. J hope the matter is made the
Worst of, but I have many fears.”
We do not believe this ‘ 4 news,” in the shape
in which it is here presented. We have London
papers two days latter, which make no mention
6fit, It was natural, and almost a matter of
course, that exaggerated rumors should get afloat
—[here being in tact an extraordinary amount
qf sickness and mortality prevailing, with a con
stant dread of the appearance of Cholera. For
the last two weeks of which we have returns
(Dec. 4th and llth), the number of deaths per
week was much more than double the usual av
erage, as will be seen by the following schedule.
The district embraced in the returns, comprises
a population, according to the last census of—

During the week en/ljng Dec. llth, it will be
observed that there were 374 deaths by the In
fluenza. But this ig not by any means the full
extent of mortality chargeable directly to that
disease. Says the London Mercury, “Influen
za has increased [be number of deaths from every
disease in the list. There is scarcely ‘a house
free from it. It has attacked young and old,
weak and strong, and has made them ail feel
where they are sreakesj.” Says the London
Times, “It operates as a pqxions and lethal ele
ment, attacking each particular infirmity of con
stitution, assisting ill tendencies, and giving the
last blow to sickpess, to weakness, and to age.-
The weak head,the ipeak lungs, the weak, throat
have had to stand the brunt of infliction.” The
same paper, alluding to the above stasistics, say s
“It is scarcely necessary to remind the public
that this is a greater mortality than any which
this generation has known. The total deaths
from Asiatic cholera in the metropolis and its
vicinity in 1832 were not more than 5,275.”
Os the disease itself, the Times says—
“lt has sent everybody in turn to the sofa or
to bed made him miserable silent, and unsocial
set going the manufacture of gruel and arrow
root, encouraged the sale of drops and lozenges
in every variety, and set every member of the
household in turn barking about the house with
a preternatural sort of cough more like a spas
modic ventriloquism than any more ordinary
sound. It has almost emptied churches, and
ipade the surviving congregations drown the
service with involuntary interruptions. It has
almost brought the publie offices to a standstill,
closed the schools, disabled the police force—
there were 1,200 laid up at once—and left the
city at the mercy of the thieves, were it not the
latter h#ve had probably more (ban their jhare
in the general prostration. It has deranged in
quqoerabljß appointment for business and pleasure
sod thinned 6r extinguished dinner parties by
consigning host and guess to their several couch
es. The doctors have beep worn oft their legs,
whether tbeir horses, or their own. The sensa
tion in the healthier and stronger cl iss of patients
ire very much the same. It is found impossi
ble to lie low enough, to get too near the fire, to
do little enough, ar.d gs the complaint progressed
to cough deep (Bppygh. We believe we havie
accommodated our language to the public im
pression of the disorder. Our readers must par
don a levity which expressess a fact—tEe gener
al idea of the influenza.”
The almost universal prevalence of this mal
ady, not only in London, but in other parts of the
uniter) kingdom, was generally attributed to
sudden and extraordinary changes in the weath
er. Both the baromontcr and the thermometer
exhibited unusual fluctuations. On the 7tli
December the barometer marked 28,381; which
is lower than it had fallen since the memorable
storm of Jen. 13,1843. That the state of the
atm sphere had an influence in producing
extending the disease, may bo safely admitted;
but this alone is hardly sufficient to account for
all the phenomena exhibited. The mortality,
appears, occurred chiefly in certain districts. —
There must have been local influences of some
sort, in addition to meteorological changes, since
the latter would apply to the whole city indis
criminately. The tact appears to .be this ’tha£
the influenza, like the Cholera, of which it is’
sometimes the forerunner, shows a manifest affin
ity for filth and wretchedness. 0r rather, when
it meets with these congenial elements, it exerts
% Ppvyer which it does not otherwise possess.—
Accordingly, the London Mercury urges the pub
lic authorities to adopt the most energetic meas
ures for the promotion of cleanliness. 4
i A Moderv Othello.— Prince Puckler Mus.
kau, in his new work upon Africa, thus describes
a French Mameluke, who reminded him oftho’
, noble Moor: ‘
‘U.Vhat was strangest, and to me most attrac
tive, at the Governor’s dinner table, an ex
traordinarily handsome Turk, magnificently dres
i sed in violet coined Mtin and gold, a scarlet
turban on hi* head, aim adorned with the cross
of the legion of honor,’ This vyas the celebrated”
Jussuf, commandant of the French spaliis, at Bo
na, who, suffering from the fever, had come to
Algiers for his health. This man’s origin is un
known, and he says nothing ofit, because lie
knows that the enigmatic is always interesting.
Some say he is a stolen Christain pthers
that he is the son of a European slave by a no
ble Turkish, lady; all that is really known is,
that he was brought up as a Mameluke in thef
seraglio ol the Bey of Tunis, and had a love af
fair with his master’s daughter, in consequence
of which he had fled to Algiers, anfl entered the
French Service. Jussuf’s behaviour was as re
finely coureous as it was inqpressjve in its natural
simplicity; not destitute of pride towards-tho
men—confidential and flattering towards tho la
dies. Yet there was something fcarfql, as in
Othello, of whom he often reminded me. He
one day said of a handsome gnd much-admired
lady, 4 I durst not love her; how should I bear to
see so many conning her?’ He ware in his gir
ble a superb Persian kanjar, which jthc company
after dinner, curiously examined. As the beau
tiful Countess Erlon held out her hand for it,
he said, with the softest possible smile,‘You may
tuoch it boldly, madam: with that I have nos
yet cut olf a head.
Cxtchiito Corns ash Curing Them.—Coldg
are sometimes produced in the following man
ner: When a person in cold weather goes in
to the open air, every time he draws in his breath
the cold air passes through his nostrils and wind
pipe into his lungs, and, consequently, diminish
es the heat of these parts, As long as the per
son continues in the cold air he feels no bad. ef
fect from it; but as soon as lie returns home he
approaches the fire to warm himself and very
often takes some warm and comfortable drink to
keep out the cold, as it is said. The inevitable
consequence is, that he will perceiye a glow
within his nostrils and breast, as well as over the
whole surface or his body. Soon afterwards a
disagreeable dryness and huskiness will be felt in
the nostrils and breast. By-and-by, a short, dry,
and tickling cough comes on. He feels a shiv
ering, yyhich makes him dravv nearer to the fire,
all to no purpose; the more he tries to heat him
self the more he becomes chilled. All the mis
chief is here caused by the violent action of the
heart. Such being a frequent cause of cold, the
following rules for avoiding the complaint may
be adopted with great advantage: When you
come out of a very cold atmosphere, you should
not first go into a room that has a fire in it, or, if
you cannot avoid that, you should keep for a
considerable time at as great a distance as possi
ble, and, above all, refrain from taking warm or
strong liquors when you are cold. This rule is
founded upon the same principle as the treat
ment of any part of the body when frost-bitten.
If it were brought to the fire, it would soon mor
tify; whereas, if rubbed with snow, no conse
quences follow from it. Hence, if the following
rule were strictly observed, when the whole bo
dy, or any part of it is chilled, bring it to its na
tural feeling and warmth by degrees, the fre
quent colds we experience in winter would, in a
greas measure, be prevented.— [Dr. {frahoLni's
Domestic Medicine.
The Stars. — l cannot say that it is chiefly
the contemplation of their infinitude, and the im
measurable space they occupy, that enraptures
me in the stars. These conditipne father tend
to confuse the mind; and in this view of count
less numbers and unlimited space there lies,
moreover, much that belongs rather to a tempo
rary and human, than to an eternally abiding
consideration. Still less do I regard them abso
lutely with reference to the life after this. But
the mere thought they are so far beyond
aboye everything terrestrial—the feeling that be
fore them everything terrestrial—the feeling that
before them everything earthly so utterly vanishes
to nothing—-that the single man is so infinitely
insignificant in the comparison with these worlds
strewn over all space—that his destinies, his en
joyments, and sacrifices, to which he attaches
such a minute importance, howail these fade like
nothing before such immense objects; then that
the constellations bind together all the races of
P[an and all the eras of the earth—that they have
beheld a!{ that has passed since the beginning of
time, and will see all that passes until its end.—-
In thoughts like these I can always lose myself
with a silent delight in the view of the starry fir
mament. It is in very truth a spectacle of the
highest solemnity, when, in the stillness of night
in a heaven quite clear, the stars, like a choir of
worlds, arise and decend, while existence, as it
were, falls asunder into ttvo separate parts; the
one belonging to the earth, grows dumb in the
utter silence of the night; and thereupon thq
other mounts upwards in all its elevation, splen
dor, and majesty And contemplated from this
point of view, starry heavens have truly a
moral influence on the mind.—[ Von Humboldt.
The Pasha dr Eqypt. —Mehemct Ali in his
old age is becoming quite sociable and” civilized.
His Highness seems to relish the society of Eu
ropeans, and to feel that their conversation is
more entertaining than that of his courtiers and
thejjbigoted Turks about him. On the 12fh inst.
be gave a grand dinner to the Europeean consuls
in Alexandria, to meet the Russian consul, Who
has only recently come to Egypt, The gentle
men were not invited alone, but those haviDg fam
ilies were asked to bring their wives and daugh
ter- with them. A most sub tuous repast of thir
ty covers was spread out in elegant Europeean
fashion in the Palace at Rasselsteer, and the table
presented a very animated appearance, having
the Viceroy at the head, seated between two
European ladies, to whom he showed the greatest
attention. There was a sprinkling of gray bear
ded Turks amongst the Pasha’S guests, and the
whole feast went off with great satisfaction to aft
parties. After dinner, pipes Were handed round
to all the guests without omitting the ladies, to
whom those most richly mounted Were offered.—
Home of the ladies only pretended to smoke—to
refuse the pipe would have been an unpardonable
offence—but other ladies seemed to enjoy inhal
ing the fumes of the Viceroy’s excellent tobac
co.—[Paris Paper.
Coin Water tor burns. —Mr. Seth Hunt,
of Northampton, gives the following statement
of the success of treating with cold water a se
vere burn and scald in his family. and .
Cold water was applied, by immersion, til!
the pain ceased —the water being changed as of
ten as it became warm. The part was then
kept swathed with wet bandages, a dry woollen

healed. The healing was rapid, and effected

the cold water gave from the excruciating paiij,
