Rensselaer Union, Volume 1, Number 48, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 August 1869 — Diarrhea. [ARTICLE]

Diarrhea.

This is a very common disease in summer time. Cholera is nothing more than exaggerated diarrhea. When a man has died of diarrhea, he has died of cholera, in reality. It may be well for travelers to know that, the' first, the most important, and the most indispensable item in the arrest and cure of looseness in the bowels, is absolute quietude on a bed ; nature herself always prompts this by disinclining us to locomotion. The next thing is, to eat nothing but common rice, parched like coffee, and then boiled, and taken with a little salt and butter. Drink little or no liquid of any kind. Every step taken in diarrhea, every spoonful of liquid, only aggravates the disease. If locomotion is compulsory, the misfortune of t,he necessity may r be lessened by having a stout piece of woolen'flannel bound tightly round the abdomen, so as to be doubled in front, and .kept well in its place. In the practice of many years, we have never failed to notice a gratifying result to follow these observances.—Hatt'g Journal of Health.
