REPORT OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF
PHYSICIANS ON CHOLERA.

A long report of the cholera genunittect, appointed
some time since by the Ronal Gasp of rhysiciaos, has been
agreed to, and will be circulated amongst the mambas of the
college. The following am the principal results braved at,
sad the conclusion which seems to have justified them
" 1. Bogies presenting the characteristic tonne of the to-
talled cholera fungi are not to be detected in the sir, and, as
far es our experiments have gone, not is the drinking water
of Infected plasm.
" 2. It is established that, under the tens 'annular bodies'
and cholera cells, er fungi,' there have been confounded
sow y objects of varioa and totally distinct snares.
" 3. A large number of these have been traced to sib.
stances taken as food ur medicine.
" 4. The origin of others is still doubtful, but them are
clearly net fangs.
3. All the more remarkable forms are to be detected in
the intestinal evacuations of pereuns labouring under diseases
totally different in their nature fr Is cholera.
" Lastly. We draw from these pie mi.es the general con-
Mullion, that the bodies found sad described by Mesas.
Britten and tiwayne are not the cause of cholera, and have
no inclusive eounection with that ail* or, in other
words, that the whole theory of the disesse which ha. re-
cently been prupeenied is erroneous, as fax as it is based on
the saistence of the bodies in question.
