Treatment of Cholera in the Royal Hospital, Haslar / during the months of July and August, 1849, with remarks on the name and origin of the disease.

An eyewitness account of cholera cases treated at the Royal Hospital, Haslar during July and August 1849, outlining clinical practice and outcomes. It describes immediate hot baths, abdominal and limb friction, opiates, frequent calomel dosing, oil of turpentine given orally and by enema, enemata, sinapisms, occasional bloodletting, and other supportive measures. The author argues turpentine promotes mercurial action and intestinal restraint, distinguishes epidemic disease from bilious variants, reports 37 admissions with 12 deaths, and analyzes patterns of collapse, re‑action, prognosis, and the disease's name and origin.
