'We derive from other sources the following items of
information on the subject of cholera :
The Committee of the Seamen's Hospital Society have
issued a placard addressed to all captains of ships and
seamen generally, earnestly exhorting all captains to
send every seaman, on the first symptom of diarrhoea
appearing, on board the Hospital Ship, Devonshire,
lying near the Dreadnought, off Greenwich, which is
set apart solely for immediate attention to such cases,
and where admission is freely given at any hour. The
Metropolitan Dispensary, Fore-street, Cripplegate, has
suspended the rule requiring a letter of recommendation
with reference to poor persons suffering from diarrhoea,
cholera, or other bowel complaints, who may therefore
obtain medicine and advice at all times upon application
at the dispensary.
