Excerpt from The Cholera, Its Causes, Prevention, and Cure: Showing the Inefficacy of Drug-Treatment, and the Superiority of the Water-Cure, in This Disease
ON the evenings of the second and fourth of December, 1848, the author gave two lectures, in Clinton Hall, New York, on The Water Treatment as a Means of Prevention and Cure of Cholera. The day after the last lecture, it was publicly announced that the dread disease had already appeared at Quarantine, Staten Island, opposite the city. The lectures were afterward written out at greater length, and have thus made three instead of two. In this form they are now given to the public.
It will strike many, no doubt, as very strange, that the advocates Of the old school practice are so at variance on the treatment of cholera. The writer hopes that this little work will do some good, in showing forth the fallacies of the old modes in their true light.
Prevention or disease is the noblest Ofall medical subjects; and the author is persuaded, that if persons will follow the directions of this work in regard to water-drinking, daily bathing, abstaining from all alcoholic stimulants, tobacco, tea, coffee, and all medicinal sub stances, at the same time Observing a consistent and well-regulated diet - such as brown bread, unbolted wheat or' rye mush, good and ripe vegetables and fruits, with a moderate allowance of milk and pure soft water as the only drink - they will find great benefit aris ing therefrom. Multitudes of people there are in our country, who need just such advice, to enable them to regain that best of all earthly blessings, firm and enduring health.
It is hoped this little work will be especially useful, in teaching people how to prevent disease.
