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 The following pages do not strictly comprehend a treatise on the spasmodic cholera. They merely contain observations elicited from time to time by what has been done during its prevalence in this country. They are intended to point out the errors which, in the writer´s opinion, have occurred in the management and treatment of the disease; and, if possible, to lead to a correction of those errors.
