AUGUSTA, August 9, 1639. j Nufwiilisarvlinrr your Medical Committee, of Uhich lam a rru-mber, have, in the fulfilment;; 0 f tjy,. .liiiics assisrned them, Hits day reported ;jj ] cannot feel that 1 have fully discharged the da- ; tv ; ,t this time incumbent on me, without laying | iieforc you mv ideas on the production ofC’nolera. Th s i think necessary, because it may ren- | ft, r more apparent to the Board the necessity of;] jr[v:if exactness and promptness in atteii'ion top the various causes of the disease. Ij I do conceive that the most valuable pait of ; IVianagemcnt, is that which is Judiciously directed j( 11 the prevention of discas- : an i tiiat in no case j can i: be more- decidedly so, than in that fatal I ■an' a"a ins which we arc now called to prepare. |j .Should a merciful Providence so direct audjj guard us, that we rscaptt this visitation, by a due course of .preparation, wo shall have in. Inn bu' bad habits, and snail in return, h.wcj tM-.-omc i>r icticully acquainted with good ones.; A' the same time, should the disease appear a n,on rst ns. a preparation judiciously directed, must have the cllbct of ins-pi ring a confidence j in perfect exemption, or easy recovery ; andi th is l>\ preparing for disease in time of health, | will f air, and couse(|ueut distress and mortality, b-- lessened. j Wore this disease communicated from places 1 > place, or from person to person, by a specific i c uit >etion, tin u would we feet happy in being a-: Mi- to assure our citizens ui the possible certain- 1 tv of enjoying a total immunity from its inva-j Men. But under a due sense of the heavy re- \ spoil a 'Hity of such a decision —with feelings] t n.li;rls alive to the best interests of this com-' inanity ; and after full and unbiassed research uml reflection on the subject from the first an nollnccin ut ol the disease in India, down to tue present moment, I fed fre-e to-inake the unccjui vocal declaration, that the Malign mt or Asiatic Cholera is no more subject to any fates of conta gion, than a remittent or intermittent bilious fc rer—that vo specific contagion attends if mid that its appearance in a place need not cause more alarm to those who have not the distin-\ flushing pre-disposition to this disease already perfected within their systems, than if it did uoL appear. !| I am tiers explicit on this subject, not only.i from a thorough conviction of its truth, (and;, without tliis I could not possibly venture suclijj an asser ien,) bu! because 1 know that whilstji Tin- a'Jention of Physicians and public author! ties have been orron ,-ously directed to contagion|j bv one party, and some s'rangc, but undiluted ij ]Mes,>n or pestiferous inllucnec or power in the,; a niospbere bv the other; the true source of the disease has, in the great desire to escape these fancied dangers by sanitary cordons, j quarantin s, rad flight from infected regions,, been almost, i not entirely, overlooked. Ibcj; poojdo have been looking abroad, instead ot searching tin ir own bouses —they have assum ed as a truth, that a specific contagion exists,! h it could not find it where the disease existed ;i and could not find disease with its supposed pre sence. Thev have arrested the winds, and tor- j fared them f -their original elements, without, finding the hi Icons monster —the poison which has so unmercifully slain its mil-,j lions. Here investigation has stopped and look- | e l back to deplore i s inability to demons*rate,j th truth of its assumed posh ion, not desiring tod take the liberty ofturning every stone in search j of truth; because the fashionable doctrines of || f.iedav stamp with a s al, whose device is "Jute- 1 "■•lory," cv -rv part and every opinion which : points to the ch -mical or humoral condition oi j the bolv. Thus have effectual attention and;, t tto-t not been directed to the predisposition i| :hin the system itself—an 1 thus have disease,;, :>niav and death, been admitted without ahVjj 'her opposing barrier than those of accident,*; s v those directed to other purposes. The truth is that it is the economy of the hn-j wan bod v to digest the different articles of diet which are taken into the s’omach, and appropri-l ate to the growth and the permanent support of, girts, those portions which are particularly a i-apted thereto; and to throw out of the system those portions which, if retained, must not only . us less, but hurtful. These refuse or excre-] wentiffous matters must differ in their proper-■ • -us and quantities also, according to the ptni tv. the kind, and the perfection of qualities of the, article taken in. The skin, the liver, and the k’Jacvs, arc the chief outlets by which these effusive relicks are cast from the system. In. the best state of health, those excretions must proceed regularly on, or disease will be the un ■ivuidable'consequence. But the proportion aiDu; quantity oftlie.se refuse matters must bo varied wi’h cverv variation of the digestive and a>sun.- - iting powers, and of the intrinsic qualities of the article taken in. For example, exciting the, stomach with spirituous drinks, will greatly in-, crease its digestive powers for a time, and thus cause the digestion of excessive quantities as "veil as bad qualities of food, hence, the bloat- Ag of some individuals, and the emaciation of others who drink. Again —diets of bad quality* habitually taken, must have their ill, or innutri -0 f tious qu .ii ics refused by the approp ating powers of the system, and which, if rothucu within, will produce cis -ase; as in the dreadful epidemics which prevailed in and about Ger many at nil;-; nt tini* s, between 1770 «i: 1790, 1 from occasional crops ot’bad gram. Wi h this view then, i is very obvious that on trie leas irregul irity of'hose excreting organs,; I'l’u-rc must be an accumuf ttion of noxious mutter; 1 - . ■ ijwg.ltin the system, an i which, whiis in the lull, of their functions, these organs tend ed. t»y these ex -re‘.ions, to proven*. The* • r marks relate to the animal functions oftiic body, which under peculiar circumstances I and ch.mg s, t ndfotlio production ofacCumu-t lating c ots -.s within. There arc other remote! ** -; o?’ impor'r.nt change in the predisposed | t** ir in of tlie system, which are refernble loj tin- electrical and other changes and condilions |; of the earth, its atmosph-.-.rc, &c. and which a ilgain are probably referrible to our planetary .relationships: but which are so involved in the jj labyrinths of n dure as to have thus fn* evaded 1; the detection and controul of man. We must : know more of astronomy an ! c»f electricity, ; before we can define them wit h precision, and c ; ven then we cannot con roul them : but may! ‘only hope for some correction of their chemical | !jeffects. But i mat ers not from whence this j* predisposed condition of sys'em comes, if the; 'lsource be not correctable. Our not being able | to ascertain i s true source, does ii"t destroy llio ! fact of its presence, if this be demonstrable. I (When therefore this predisposition, in its vicissi-j 'tudes from any cause, is in a certain condition! lor degree, if brought into action, will produce lone disease —when in some other particular con [dition or degree, it will produce another, <fcc. j This is flic predisposing cause of the disease. It is also the distinguishing cause, which w hen O CD , j brought info aclion by an occasioning cause of j 1 disease, is that w hich, alone, gives the peculiar! ; features or charnc.eristics of the disease produ-b jed. It is now in pr< par.ition within the sys'emofj | man v, if not of ail persons. It has been in pro.-* igressive maturation in many individuals in tins* j place, and in the o her parts of the state; and ; iprobably elsewhere in our country for some 10 I lor 19 months at least. It has plainly manifested-; j itself, when excited into action, by producing!! ! firs’ a catarrh or influenza, and subsequently, | ana down to the present time, dysen.erics, sto-,* much disorders, cholera morbus, and in a icn-j* deucy to spasm, and prostrating debility of sys tem, like that produced by the exhausting heat j of Summer. i s presence has been farther j* detected by examinations of the blood of cholera 1 ! patients, and the effects of certain chemical pow- * icrs on the blood—indeed in practice as well as !chemical experiment, those unnatural coudi- i [ lions of the blood have been corrected, &c. ! The increase of this predisposing cause may, I be prevented by preserving full and healthy cx-i leretion from the body, mainly by tiic skin, liver and kidneys. It is by these that the noxious] 1 distinguishing cause of disease is kept passing from the system at equal pace with its annuncia tion, and exemption from disease is secured. Os ii these, the perspiratory function is the most im-' portant. Therefore the surface of the hodyj j should be kept equally warm and dry. 01oth- : ing should not lie much varied, only by adding more on cold changes, and exposure to night, air. Flannel on the body, and woollen stock ings should be constantly worn, in addition to the usual other clothing of the season. The body should undergo frequent abluU'ons, by tepid or w arm bath, not so warm, nor so long contin ued as to debilitate : after which, the person should lie in bed, or indulge in moderate oxer * Cise for fifteen or twenty minutes. The nights i being frequently cool for the season, care should I! be taken to be under sufficient covering to pro jivent being in the* Fast chilled during the night, ij At the same time, there should, by all means, i be a free admission of air to the sleeping apart- I; nient; and, if the least damp, a little fire should abe kept in the room. T his will have a purifying, ij influence on the atmosphere of the apartment., j; The bedding should be well aired daily ; and the; | bed and body clothes frequently changed, as the: perspiration, from containing an unusual portion | of serous matter at the present time, is peculiar-! Tv offensive. Persons subject to cold hands and. feet should occasionally rub them well with salt; water, fine salt, or mustard flour. Before going out to market or elsewhere in the moruiilg, a cup of strong coffee, or some other innocent beve-j • rage, ora ginger nut, should be taken into the’ stomach. Habitual strength of body and mil-; | tual energy should bo preserved by moderate' • j exercise of body and mind, and a frequent and ■ I free use of wholesome and digestible diets, such ij a jj beef, veal, or mutton, roasted, baked, broiled,j jor boiled, with moderate seasoning. Good ba- 1 ■icon, in moderate quantity; fowls, birds, and; ;| other wild game; soups, moderately seasoned i! with salt and pepper, thickened with a little flour,; Hand rendered savoury by thyme, marjoram,' parsley, savory, cellcry tops, Arc. Irish pota-j * 11os, onions, or garlic and'earrots may be addeu,, lif desired. Baked Irish potatos, broiled veni-1 jiaon, new milk, (if the habit be not bilious.) Tea; ji and coffee, in moderate quantities; corn meal* ‘! preparations, as bread, wafers, waffles, batter cakes, A*c. Also, small and large hominy, (os ; peciallv large hominy) and all nutritious and ea- Hsilv digested article’s. It is not recommended; ii that alf this variety should be indulged in, but] that ;t uniform diet should bo selected from a-- ; , mongst these, which will suit the palate and di-j n-estive powers of the individual, and be sufli-! ijeient for the full maintenance of vigour. i| The presence of this distinguishing and prc-\ disposing cause may probably be corrected, at: , least to some extent,’ by a slight alkaline course ; A.f treatment. This may consist of a solution] tj of 10 or 90 grains of carbonate of soda or of; ! potash, or a uroportionai quantKV or the nttusion*. j c ,f hickorv or oak ashes, taken three or four 1 times a day. All highly bilious habits of body, ior torpid livers, should be corrected by a mode rate bilious operation ot one day only ; and this j will be most safclv done by a correct use of aloes : and calomel. This may be most prudently done now before the predisposition is perfected. 1 here is another cause of this disease, which I shall - ca p occasioning cause. It is that which immedi ,i atelv disposes Ito the action of the distinguishing I cause. It is debility, general or local—direct or .! indirect. I will name some of the most impor || tant particulars in regimen, habits, Am. which cause this debility ; and at the same tune urge *; this truth, that the present crisis not only justi* ■ ties but demands as exact a conformiiv as possi ! hie’to the prohibitions and recommendation* ■ .herein named. Accounts from all par's where .pc ! oiera has prevailed, furnish us with the mos! !;!melancholy facts, from the slightest deviations . ' < ven in what maybe considered matters of the , mos’ trivial importance. It has been repented ly proved that a single in lulgcnce in one impro : per article of diet, of luxury, has been so prompt I in doing the work of death, ns to deprive large .amilies of a majority of their numbers within a few hours. The most general, efficient and dun j'gerous, is the internal use of ardent spirits and * fermented liquors generally , in any way. These operate first by over-exciting the stomach as !' w ;11 as the general system, which nuts' necessa | rily be followed by a corresponding local, and ji general debility. In addition to this mode ol , operation, they so excite for a time, the diges j! live powers, as to cause the diges ion of cxces i; sive quantities.or bad 'qualities of diet, which, '• being carried into the circuladng blood, derange its healthy composition. Melons of alt kinds, cspeciallv wtitcr-melons. * . These, by their quantify, coldm-ss. and indiges tible nature, over-disteud and debilitate tiie s‘o rnach. As operating in one or the ot her of these .ways, may also be named, cucumbers, cabbage, j bonny-clabber, and curds, any way prepared — hand uncooked frurs generally, and particularly || apples —also, whortleberries in any way—cold I; water in large quantities—iced water, iced I.*- jjmonade, iced s* la water, ice cream, and all I other unnatural degrees of col l applied to .he I!stomach —all native vegetable acids, peas and !' beans, fresh pork, pastry and sweet-meats gen j|crally* —wheat flour, which teas ground within ji less than two or three months after harvest —and all rich condiments and seasonings. To these may bo added, as no less efficient | causes, all excesses, even in the use of thq bcs f | articles. These operate by inducing indirect | debility. Also, the neglect of admissible arti i clt-s in sufficient quantity to preserve the energies jof the body unimpaired. All other excesses, as of exertion, heat, loss of sleep, exciting and de pressing passions— he former, by first over-ex j citing, induce de ility —the la ter direc ly dc press the nervous energies. All n eusea mg or ■ depressing impressions on the s.uses, as s'rong >j scents of a disgusting and depress.ag kind —de- ll pressing views of disagreeable tilings, &c. Con lined air of small apartments, and crouded rooms, i Arc. Exposure to wet, or I t dew aiul cold, andj fall things which endanger a check of perspira-j tion. All these, and such like, occasion disease: i i bu* that disease receives i speculiar characterts i : tics front the distinguishing cause. | T’he- public authorities arc respectfully re , ques’ed to pay very special attention to all can es s of offensive impressions on the senses, by a prompt correction of all sources of impurity, j The perpetual cleanliness of all lots should be I promptly enforced, under severe penal y for tie. I gleet. The dryness, sweetness and purity o! the earth, air, and all apartments, should be 1 pursued in every possible way. It should bo borne in mind that it is not the ! quantity alone, of impure air from offensive sources, which so fills he atmosphere with poi r sonous effluvia as to excite morbid action by i impregnating the system’with die same; bu ll that it is the depressing effect on the nerves ol j the senses which in most cases induces disease : therefore no particle, the scent or sight of which may disgust the senses, should be allowed to re main any length of time in the street or other place where it may offend. Privies which are very foul, should not be disturbed at present for the purpose of remov ing their conten s ; but should be promptly, and perpetually corrected by so liberal an use of Lime, or Chloride of Lime, •*s to ensure their no' being perceptible to the sense of smell. AH Cellars and Kitchens should be well whitewash ed with lime, and aquan ity of lime also sprink led on all ground floors. They should be kept! fully open and well ventila f cd every day, ex cept in time of rain. Every room into which persons may enter, Cshould be duly rendered fragrant with the fumes; I; of burning frankinsonse, benzoin, or t; r. These will prove highly serviceable by invigo ; rating and cheering the nerves, and thus pre- I Venting the depressing effects or conn ervaiiing ! the tendency of disgusting scents. The chlo ij rides of lime and of sodium will answer .he same ends in open apartments, and should be frcelv used; but no: breathed much in confined fur.,. All drains from lots, and all depositories ot ii filth should be promptly attended to. Servants, from any apathy arising out of jj their nature, or their condition iu life, are pe culiarly liable to remain inattentive to the course of management which prudence and I safety require. Their owners should be careful | henceforth to collect their servants together daily, and instruct them in those lessons oi j ru- Mdence and safely of which they are so liable to remain ignorant or cart-less ; uu il they become sensible of duty on this subject. They should] ij be well fed and clothed, and not allowed to; i!sleep iti basement stories or other damp or ex-- j| posed situations. They should be brought into'- lithe habit of free communication with their own-, : lers. that they may give them early informal ion ( of the premonitory symptoms of disease. Tnis! is mentioned thus early, because the habitual! concealment of their early symptoms has add-1 - eii great!-v to the mortality ot the blacks; andj , some time will be necessary to alter this habit, j ';i It is hoped, and particularly desired, that cha-1 jiritable committees, cifficr Irom the Council, or! i this Board, or the commumty, will make an car-| j| ly visit to all places where the poor or the col-i jj cured people reside, and instruct them fully on; 'jithe subject of proper management, and supply! ' the destitute with the necessary means, or report i 1 their necessities to this b ly, or o the City .ij Council. I hope ‘he Boar-i ot Health will lose j|no time in effec in:- the various measures which : are thought imporant as preventive of Cholera. ,1 may in conclusion remark, that the sugges ’ j tions herein advanced, are not less important as : preventive ot lever.
