ptring to discontinue house-to-house visitation and ocher

the towns up the river become infected the cholera
-,iidemio may break out in districts that have hitherto
escaped. No greater mistake could be made than to relax
the efforts for combating the disease or for relieving the
distress whiih it has already wrought." The following
