Very rare, seemingly unrecorded, guide for lay people to the identification, initial treatment, and prevention of cholera, published at the height of the European pandemic of 1831-2 in the Westfalia town of Lemgo. The five sections deal with the diagnosis and symptoms of the disease, its treatment, preventive measures (including advice on diet and regimen), the prevention of contagion, and finally a list of the objects that every household should have during an outbreak, including woollen blankets, clean hand towels, a bottle of good wine, and camomile tea.
