Oct. 8, Besides my regular patients X attended three chlldblrths ; their labor is shortened from six to seven hours, and they in- variably are up and around on the third day. I attended and cared for five families of children with measles, besides my own three had them ; not one of the lot staid in the house over one day. My children never went to bed a single day, and took care of themselves while I was away. I had three cases of cholera infantum, and one case of rheumatism ; told the latter patient what to do, and let him cure himself, as he had only been drugged three months. I had one case of deaf- ness and palpitation of the heart; gave him directions and let him cure himself, as he had only been drugged a short time. One case was a boy 16 years old, with a sprained knee ; three years previously he sprained the same knee, and paid a doctor $30 to keep him a cripple for six months. I explained to him what to do, and he cured himself in two days; I charged him nothing for such a simple case. I was called in to see a family down with fever and colds ; told them what caused the colds and fever, and how to avoid it in the future. I cure cholera infantum by talking to the mother in this manner: " We have had three hot days, and you have fed your little one just as often and just as much as you did when the weather was cool. It never takes as much food to keep up the vitality In hot weather as it does when cool, consequently you should not have fed so much or so often. The surplus food over and above what Nature required, was either decom- posed or was undigested. That irritated the mucus membrane of the stomach and bowels, and your little one was cross and fretful from nervousness, and you fed it more. Now stop feeding the child for 24 hours ; give it all the water it will drink, and flush the colon with tepid water, two or three times in the course of the 24 hours. Fill up all it can hold,
