THE CHOLERA
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—Among the directions just issued by the General
Board of Health, calculated to disarm the coming epi-
demic of its virulence and power, are some general
rules respecting articles of diet. The public are advised
to avoid salt fish, green vegetables, stone fruits, &c.
There can be no doubt but that these things are liable
to disorder the bowels, and thus predispose to attacks of
the dreaded enemy. But, Sir, I respectfully submit that
such directions are scarcely sufficiently explicit. Ad-
vice, to be practicable, should be confined within narrow
limits. The public should be told not only what to
avoid, but also what to consume.
With the view of supplying this slight deficiency, I
have drawn out the accompanying table, and trust that
it may be useful, as it is suited to all classes. The im-
portance of attending strictly to diet, under the circum-
stances, cannot be overrated. It is the best, perhaps, of
all human precautions.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
TOOGOOD DOWNING, die
M.R.C.S., &c.

OFFICIAL ORDERS OF THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS.
Yesterday evening the Police Commissioners issued an
order, directed to each
superintendeenotrhomfistshi(
7ne nirse)troa-
politan police, to make them (the
daily return of all cases of cholera occurring within h
their respective divisions every 24 ours—the reports so
furnished to be transmitted to the Government and the
Board of Health. The form which the police are to
adopt to be as follows:—
~CASES OF CHOLERA.
"No. reported.—Recovered. Total.—No, attacked yes-
terday. Total."
These are to be placed in separate columns, and orders
were also issued directing that every medical gentleman
residing in the metropolitan divisions, which will take in
the A, B, C, D, E, F, G, 11, K. L 9,11, N, P, H, S divi-
sions, are to be communicated with, and for every case
that may come under the notice of each individual me-
dical attendant to be noted down, and that one or
more men of each division, according to the extent,
is to be specially engaged to go round to the re-
spective residences of each surgeon and obtain the re-
turns. The above order is to commence to-day, and the
first return is to be made to-morrow. The number of
persons attacked are to be made to twelve o'clock each
day. The Thames police are to perform the sauce duties
amongt the shipping in the river, and to make a return
of all cases which occur that are not taken ashore. The
object of this order and regulation is to:obtain a com-
plete and authentic list of the actual amount of cases, as
well as the condition of the class of persons attacked,
thus preventing the exagerated reports of persons dying
suddenly or from short illness from other causes being
termed cholera. The number of deaths and recoveiies
are, it is understood, to be published in an official form
from day to day, similar to what was done when this
dreadful scourge visited the metropolis in 1832. The
hospitals and workhouses are included in the above
order.
