NATIONAL HOTEL DISEASE. [From the New York Herald J Having been strongly and repeatedly u by a lady sufferer at a ET Hotel steet i middle of March, and who came under my care during a relapse in New York about the first of May, to publish my views of the malady, I have thought it might be of some service pos- sibly to do so, as I have been in a position to obtain information not only from facts comi 9 under my own observation, but from scien men on the spot. who were personally familiar with the whole history of things from the begin- ning up to the present time. ‘aving lived in the midst of the most mala- tial districts of the South for a great portion of my life, ——- have been afforded for becoming familiar with diseases of that nature and their various symptoms. My opinion is, that bad air malaria will account for all the phenomena observed, and that no other suppo- sition can. Some five or six years since diarrhoea was very prevalent at that hotel. One gentleman was seized at the National last October. An eminent physician of Washington says, “ The first case of the diarrhea I po age the National was in the latter part of Janu- t cannot be denied that several persons who never ate anything at that house were attacked by the disease There Were many who took all their meals there through the whole season and remained well. It is not in proof that there were any cases in the neighborhood. A wide street bounds the house on three sides. Ladies who spent all their time in the build- iug suffered less than men who were absent a ce rt of the time, thus eating at the house less often than the women. There was every grade of intensity in the symptoms in different persons. The symptoms themselves were much varied. ] The attacks usually came on early in the morn- ing and suddenly. with a copious and repeated } discharge from the bowels of a light colored. frothy, sourish fluid, of custard consistency without pain, griping, straining, tenderness, chillness, or fever. In most cases the stomach was not affeeted at all in the beginning, and the appetite would re- main If the disease went on for a few days the stomach became irritated and the food only was | thrown up, especially if the bowels had been eheeked by opiates and astringents. Sometimes very violent pains would be felt in the bowels, seemingly due to spasm and flat- ulence. At a later period, inflammation. soreness, tenderness, and fever would manifest them- selves, with loss of appetite, great thirst and in | & very few cases cramps Z A copious rash appeared in a gout: tient. There were few, if any, pibmogpe fn or Inucous stools. | The best results generally followed the use of absorbents and antiacids, such as charcoal and magnesia. The best diet seemod to be rice, farina starch and the like. Quiet and confinement were less beneficial than courageously keeping out and about. Relapses most frequently occurred from im- prudence in eating, especially meat. The stomach was only secondarily affected and sometimes not at ali. One man would eat a single meal in the house, leave it, be taken sick and remain so for weeks; another would eat and livein the house for days and weeks and escape altogether. Several persons who remamed in the house and procured their own food and water did not escape an attack. Many parts of the house were filled with a most offensive odor. some parts were compura- tively exempt. No practical chemist hag'ritically examined a body dead from the National Hotel disease and declared under his own namé that there | was any trace of a mineral poison. Examina- tions of the dead body have been critically made without the discovery of arsenic or of any other mineral poison, as in the case of Mr. | Petriken, from bad air, this bad air including miasma, that is ee vegetation, as well as malaria in general, such as chill and fever. fever and | ague, diarrhea, dysentery. cholera, yellow fever and the like, half the people escape ulto- gether. If mineral poison is in the food on the table in sufficient quantities to affect a single person decidedly, within a very few hours, and not one in ten can possibly escape altogether. In large doses arsenic kills in five or six hours, beiore inflammation takes place. In moderate doses there is inflammation and irritatiun of the bowels, and death occurs in three or four days Io a third class of cases there is a nervous irritation causing a kind of palsy or lockjaw. bysterics, mania and the like. If death does | not take place in a few hours from arsenic, there is inflammation of the stomach, as well when it is applied to a fresh wound as when in the stomach. For a hundred persons to sit down to a table and partake of food poisoned with arsenic, causing death in some instances or severe sick- ness within « few hours, and yet the greater number to escape, is a chemical and physivlogi- cal impossibility. Heat destroys the effects of malaria as to the buman body by rarifying it, and carrying it above the breathing point. Cold brings it near- er the floor or earth, and in a more condensed and virulent form Hence women sitting in in warmer rooms with the larger supplies of air from without through window crevices. suffered jess than men who Were in colder rooms with a supply of new air from frequently opening doors from the passages in the hotel, the outer doors being kept closed Mineral poisons affect the stomach almost in- stantly if in large doses, causing fearful vomit- ings or excessive burning or pains in throat. stomach or bowels. A person entering a house in a tired and Wearied condition. and breathing a concentrated malaria while eating a single meal and then leaving the house, may very easily imbibe a fatal disease in that short time from the opera- tion of two causes—his debilitated state and the empty stowach drinking in the poison from every swallow of saliva, until he eats, and then the vigor of the system being expended on the digestion of the fuod in the stoma-h, leaves | other parts of the system proportionably weak against disease engendering agencies Anomalous secondary symptoms and pheno- | ¢, frou the fact of | mena would attend the dise the extraordinary combination of simple mias- mia, with the more general malaria, and the ex- traordinary concentration of the gases from sewers, cesspouls, kitchen offal, noisome cellar’, and the heat of cooking. washing and ironing in the vicinity of the lower rooms of the build- ing, not very accessible to the out-door air. tis believed that not 2 single statement has Foen mg WASHINGTON, D.
