Cholera has been at times fatal to many, but its ravages are not to be compared to those of the plague.
One must draw a veil over the too hideous details. No, not her fault: but there, at least, the curse has not come without a cause. For she is Tardrew's daughter. But whither have we got?

A large poultice on the stomach and bowels, made of new milk, thickened with light bread, has given relief keeping it warm. Be careful to keep the patient's feet warm, and to bathe the back and stomach with spirits. Where the dittany and spice-wood cannot be obtained, other aromatics, as cinnamon and cloves, are good substitutes. Remedies for the Dysentery and Cholera Morbus.
