"Where's that cholera-morbus case?" said he. "Stranger, them ain't sounds of cramps," I told him. "It's me singin' 'Hell Amongst the Yearlin's." Then I seen who he was and I fell among him. When we'd abated ourselves I looked him over. "What you doin' in all them good clothes?" I inquired. "I'm a D.D.S." "Do tell! All I ever took was the first three degrees.
I should like to see you do it. Try. Why is it so solid? Because it is a gewgaw. Ah! you are the nineteenth century? Well, what then? And we have been as foolish as you. Do not imagine that you have effected much change in the universe, because your trip-gallant is called the cholera-morbus, and because your pourree is called the cachuca. In fact, the women must always be loved.
"I told her that slavery, which fifteen States of the Union maintain as a part of their domestic life, is, by many of the people in the Free States, regarded as they regard the plague and death; they prescribe certain degrees of latitude as barriers to it, as though they enacted thus: 'North of 36° 30' whooping-cough is prohibited, measles are forbidden, cholera-morbus is forever interdicted.

I am agitated by many things, and only write now because you desired an answer by return of post. I have been dangerously ill, but the illness is going about, and not connected with my immediate ill health, however it may be with my general constitution. It was the cholera-morbus.
Black or green tea, steeped in boiling milk, seasoned with nutmeg, and best of loaf sugar, is excellent for the dysentery. Cork burnt to charcoal, about as big as a hazel-nut, macerated, and put in a tea-spoonful of brandy, with a little loaf sugar and nutmeg, is very efficacious in cases of dysentery and cholera-morbus. If nutmeg be wanting, peppermint-water may be used.
A poultice made of ginger or of common chickweed, that grows about one's door in the country, has given great relief to the tooth-ache, when applied frequently to the cheek. A spoonful of ashes stirred in cider is good to prevent sickness at the stomach. Physicians frequently order it in cases of cholera-morbus.
Number Two did pretty well for a month, but his integrity and his appetite conflicted, and Miss Lucinda found him one moonlight night perched in her plum-tree devouring the half-ripe fruit. She shook him down with as little ceremony as if he had been an apple; and though he lay at Death's door for a week with resulting cholera-morbus, she relented not.
She was an elderly woman, and she looked very sad as she glanced at the boy. "I'm glad you have come, Donald; but I'm afraid he'll never speak to you again," said she. "Is it my father?" gasped the poor fellow. "It is; and he's very sick indeed." "What ails him?" "That's more than the doctors can tell yet," added the woman. "They say it's very like the cholera; and I suppose it's cholera-morbus.
Before Sol could adjust his program to meet this unexpected exigency, she demanded: "Well, what's the matter with Isom?" "Dead," said Sol, dropping his voice impressively. "You don't mean well, shades of mercy, Isom dead! What was it cholera-morbus?" "Killed," said Sol; "shot down with his own gun and killed as dead as a dornix." "His own gun! Well, sakes who done it?"
