tents of the stomach have been expelled, the bile must follow, from its being elicited or rather as it were, forced to the stomach, instead of going the contrary way into the intestines: and as the action of vomiting, for this reason, is found to increase the secretion of bile, from thus stimulating the liver, so does it as naturally produce afterwards, a greater degree of action on the bowels, and as bile is the natural purgative of the constitution, so the incretion and quantity of it, must as necesarily produce the relaxing effect we perceive and experience in this disease. The fact is, that this disease of cholera morbus, or relaxed stomach and bowels, is an endemic or peculiar disease depending on and produced by the combined effects of heat and moisture; and therefore as we should naturally expect, we always find it prevail at any and every scason, when those two causes, heat and moisture exist; its severity and duration being influenced by the severity and duration of this cause and the state of the patient. That this is the simple fact, every year's and almost every month's experience will prove, and hence arises its general prevalence, and influence, on almost all if not every individual in health and sickness. From this view of the attack, we not only simplify the disease, but derive a much more certain, and effectual mode of treatment. Instead of the debilitating and diluent plan of Dr. Cullen, from him become the common mode, we see the advantage and necessity of adopting a contrary mode; and instead of regarding a recovery as important in six weeks, are enabled to effect it in almost as many hours, without any of the confinement, trouble, and difficulty with which that plan of Dr. C's is attended This disease frequently commences with faintness, giddiness, and even falling (which I have known) sickness at the stomach, succeeded by vomiting, by frequent pains in the bowels, succeeded by relaxation; the pulse quickened, with heat, fever, pain in the head, chilliness, &c. In incipient attacks to encourage the vomiting, and oppose the disposition to evacuate the bowells, will sometimes prevent its proceedure: but when this is not the case, instead of giving vomits, chicken broth, gruel, barley water and evacuants, (the discase itself constituting the latter so plentifully, as to form the only necessity for their removal), my custom it to order some mulled red wine well spiced, to be given immediately, and then the following medicine, which I have never knowu to fail; tincture of japan earth, white poppy syrup, each 1 oz. Peppermint water, 4 oz. --Two table spoonsful with grain of extract of opium. (For children, less in proportion according to the age,) every or hour as the stomach will bear it, untill the pain is removed; it very soon relieves, and then continuing the repetition at lon ger intervals, of an honr, 2 or 3 hours, &c. will in a very few hours completely subdue the disease. Its recurrence must be prevented by the same mode; at the same time, no weak food must be allowel, mulled wine, very strong beef tea, and seasoned food are the most proper, brandy and water is often very useful. Flannel should be worn over the bowells, both as a remedy and preventive. The efficacy of this plan I have found so complete, that I published the mode, in a very remarkable case of it,+(the subject of which is still living and in good health), and have ever adopted it with equal succes: as many others have since told me they have done also. No evacu ants are necessary. The disease prevents that, the evacuation is the disease, the bile voided. is its natural effect, every severe vomiting shews this; the natural contents being expelled from any organ, the next within its reach and influence must follow. In every such attack therefore (and it often supervenes on other illness, from the patients weakness), whether on the stomach or bowells, the same plan may be pursued with equal success.-In diarrhoea, or relaxed bowels only, which is often dangerous, I have found this and whether in this or violent vomit: ing, which though distinguished form cholera morbus, certainly will and does produce the same symptoms and effects when continued, the same plan is equally advantageous. In saying this, I know I differ essentially from common practice, but where that is palpably wrong, I always wish to do so. Observation and experience support me, and by those tests I always hope to abide, for as the elegantVaillant says, "error is still error, though supported by thousands of elegant pens." As in consumption I first tried the plan on myself for cholera, is thank God, the only discase to which I am subject, and by which I am very frequently, and indeed very susceptibly influenced: but a few hours attention to the plan I have recommended, completes the cufe I am therefore the more anxious to disseminate the knowledge I know to be effective; what I so invariably expe rience, and which may be made so generally beneficial for this endemic of my country. A long and tedious attack is avoided, a low miserable and debilitating plan, (as if the disease itself was not sufficiently so) is superseded, and a quick return of ease, comfort, and health, succeeds to pain, confinement and illness; and as it is thus effectual in diseases which chiefly, (but not exclusively) prevail in hot weather, it might probably be equally efficacious in the very common and not less dangerous bowel diseases of warm climates. When speaking of bilious diseases, I trust I shall be able to evince that what are so called, have gènerally a deficiency of bile. See the London Medical Review and Mag. for Feb. 1800. p. 563. Vol. 2. No. 12. I have lately met with an additional instance of this: a medical practitioner enquiring if I was the author of the paper just now mentioned assured me that having seen that work, while residing at the lands end, he had imediately adopt ed the plan I recommended, and had ever since used it with uniform success, never having once failed, though frequently called to persons that appeared to he dying with that disease; and which is regarded as very dangerous. See Cullenl's Outlines, Vol. IV. p. 47. Dr. Vaillant's Travels in Africa, Vol. I. C. adds at p. 42," that this disease has seldom + See Medical Report on Consumption, in the any symptoms of fever."
