Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Observations on the Epidemic Now Prevailing in the City of New-York: Called the Asiatic or Spasmodic Cholera; With Advice to the Planters of the South, for the Medical Treatment of Their Slaves
If the disease, as is contended, be of a special character, why has there not, in the seventeen years of its prevalence, yet been discovered and adopted a special remedy? Its mortality is evidently as great and terrific now as it was several years ago, when it commenced its ravages in Europe. During this period it has been the subject theme of scientific research, and has called into action the most noted medical talents; but, that we are not, as yet, advanced a single jot in our remedial knowledge, I appeal to historical and existing facts.
