    TO SIR JAMES McGRIGOR, M.D. &C. &C. DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY, &C. &C. SIR, When the different histories of the disease known by the name of Cholera, and Cholera Morbus, or, as it has been lately termed, Cholera Spasmodica, together with the unde- cided views of the most proper mode of treat- ment, first reached this country from India, I intended offering a full account of it as it had occurred to me here, and also to inquire how far it is possible to arrive at some dis- tinct and definite idea concerning the in- fluence of warm climates on the human body.
