THE SPREAD OF CHOLERA.

It is satisfEctory to find that an acknowledged
auth.rity on hygiene like Herr Pettenkofer, who
delivered au address at the recent International
Hygienic C ingress at Vienna (attended, by t:ie
way, by now fewer than 2,250 scientific men of all
nations) on hygienic instruction in universities and
technical sotto is, gave en empha ic denial to the
frequently expre s;.:d partisan ooinion that the
English are responsible for cholera coming to
Europ through the Suez Can il. op,nioo,"
Her Pettenkofer said, 'is clearly refuted by the
fact that we were frequently visited by the Cis we
b3fore the Suaz Canal was opened, an t that wilco
that time the epidemic ha .4 appeared in many
European countries, while Great Britain. which
now stands accused, and has suffered much through
cholera in former times, remains free from it.
Why do the English, in spi e of thAr enormous
trani,3 with India, where the cholera is never eztint
not transfer the disease to th.ir own country ? On

looking more closely into the matter, it must be
admitted that Englan;cs immu,lity from k holera
, since 183 G is not caused by quarantines and otner
expensive obstructions to international traffic, and
it is to be hoped thatJtaly, ane, and Spun, as
well as Itnssi4. Germany, and Austria, will follow
England's example." England's comparative im-
munity from epidemics, we now know, is due in a
great measure to the careful attention paid to the
• first princip:es of sanitation—a pure water supply
and healthy dwellings for the people. Herr
Pett- nkofer also incidentally paid a weideserved
c )mpli:nent to this ciuntry when, in alluding to the
Eqgiish proverb, according to whi h cleanliness is
next to golliness. he remarked that the statistics of
the mortality of Londoa show how hygienic piety
has been rewarded.
