THE HEALTH OP LONDON.

It appears front the weekly return issued by
authority of the Registrar-Genera, that in the week that
ended on Saturday. September 2. the births registered in
London sad ten other large towns of the United Kingdom,
were 3.773 ; the deaths registered, 2,477. The average rate
of mortality was ZI per 1,000 persoas
Is London the births of 1,002 boys sad 1,017 girls, in all
2,019 children, were registered is the week. In the °erre.
speadieg weeks of ten years 1835-64 the average number,
minuted for increase of population, WIG 1,899.
The deaths registered in London during the week were
1,13 L It was the thirty-fifth week of the year, sad the
average number for that week was, with a oorrectioa for
Isamu' of population, 1,248.
le the week eighty-Moe deaths by diarrhoea, sod four by
cholera were registered. Two sues died of cholera ; one •
chairroakor, sged twenty-four pan, is said to have died of
"English cholera; another a punter, aged twenty-Mu
years, of "choleraic diarrlicea," after twenty•four hours'
Ohm.
Cholera le not • sew disease. It is deeoribed in the ear
Best untlical writings ; and cues occur sporadically every
week is summer in every country of Europe and Asia.
During the last tea weeks 127 deaths from cholera have
been registered in Loudon ; and the deaths from the disease
in proportion to populatioe have undoubtedly been still
more 'amorous is the other eines of Europe, where the
canoes of death are either unrecorded or uorennled.
Tb is form of cholera, called here English, or on correctly
summer cholera, when fatal, differs little in appearauce
from epidemic cholera ; which is, however, well atmic-
tuned by the short duration of fatal eases ; by he attack-
ing and de/dogleg great numbers is its rogree.
The matter of cholera, therefese, emits is nearly
.every
111-conditioned population, sad under unfavourable cacao-
statues, it lIASUleee periodically the active form ; which is
diffusive, end travels far from the metre of its origin.
An epidemic of cholera broke out in England in the
years 1831.2 ; another epidemic prevailed 17 yews after-
wude, cc is 1848.9 ; sad paring °Tit 1853-4, we are at the
mid of soother cycle of 17 years in 1865-6, threatened with
en epidemic which hes already mugged some of the unclean
cities on the shores of the Mediterreama.
The epidemic his generally begun in the autumn of nee
year, and raged is the autumn of the year following; but
up to the protein date there have hew no traces of the
epidemic m England, which may serape with • slight
visitation.
But against such an enemy no precaution should be
Reelected • and the defense should be commenced, sad
completed' without any delay.
The conditions on which this disuse is fatal Sr. now
well known ; audits causes end its program in the diarrhosel
stage are more completely under °patrol than those of any
other epidemic. A supply of pure water to every house;
drainage; the abolition of osespools and of all accumulations
cd dirt ; the chemical destruction of choleraic matter (oho.
bribe) house to home medical treatment—de not cuts&
the entrance of the Fame into distrists, but deprive it of
nearly all it. dangers.
