    certain analogies induee me to believe that good rco sults would follow their use. In conclusion, I woull say tliat I do not proliibit ail the other means whic bave been employed in the treatment of Choiera, ana which in certain circumstances may be useful; but bave a firm confidence in my treatment when I scf the perspiration become normal, the motions chang their nature, and become impregnated with bile, ana the urine, that rainbow of health, appear upon tü horizon. ! It will be observed that the principal feature in D:) : Auzias Turenne’s treatment, consists in the copiou i| administration of water. Now the rice Avater dejeo ^ tions are generally considered to be caused by thl draining away of the sérum of the blood, and in poi mortem examinations of persons who hâve died frou Choiera, the blood is found thick and coagulated, as : çi stoppage in the circulation had actually occurred froi!; h a deficiency in its watery élément. Thus we mus ^ admit that Dr. Auzias’ treatment is, at ail events, i À rational one, and I think confident hopes may be em i tertained as to its utility. ,j F.
