    PREFACE. The Cholera Epidemics of 1849 and 1854 having given me more than the ordinary amount of experi- ence in the treatment of the disease; in the former year, as my books, noAV in the possession of Dr. Palk demonstrate, having prescribed, with the aid of assistants, for from eighty to one hundred and twenty patients daily, for many successive weeks, nearly all of whom suffered from Cholera, or from Choleraic Symptoms, and, for an unusually large number, druring the whole of the months of July, August, and September; and, in the latter year, having treated a large number of Emigrants affected with Cholera at the Southampton Emigration Depot, and in the Emigration Ships, I may state, without hesitation, that I have had unusual oppor- tunities of forming a trustworthy opinion of the nature- and cause of the disease which_ is again threatening us with a visitation.
