for the benefit Of this Institution on The 18Th ,,I
10th ultimo.
Active exertions are making in the No,,h,,,
cities anal towns to secure. as far as possible II.
pubic health. The fact of the CuoItR, h.;o,
really in Canada has Quickened these exer,;oD.
II the disease has been transported across TIRE.
thousand miles of ocean, il is very certain l,,
we have no security now against its approach
But the vigilance and zeal'of the constituted A.
thorities in the different towns may d,s,rm fl,
disease of most Of its terrors. In the clean and
healthy situations in England it has been Comm.
ratively harmless. 1t would be needless far -.
to recommend to our citizens the usual Drq,,u
tons against disease and preservativcs Of health
1t has been again and again enforced, tina, fem.
pcrance, cleanliness, and due regard to prOu,
diet and clothing, are aIi.important. Asaton,,
however, We think we should unite with the re.,
of the Atlantic cities in our efforts 10 keen Of
or destroy, the Cholera. For this purpose, even
while we are enjoying high degree Of health.
we may be acting prudentIy in using mean, to
continue the same blessing For this purpose,
it would seem that the quarantine should 60 iutc
immediate operation md be faithfully ATTENDED
to. Would it not be desirable. too, that he
Board of Health should at once attend to Tie
cleaning up and purifying Of the alleys in town,
and compel house-keepers to remove the water
from their cellars, yards. &c. If these duie,
are at all burthensome to the gentlemen already
members of the Board Of Health, it would be "a.
sy to enlarge their numbers aud thus render Tie
labor easier. A Physician might be appointed
for each ward. to advise and cooperate with h.
Board Of Health in all necessary cases. We
throw out these suggestions in the hope tia, the!
NAV lead to systematic effort to accomplish t,
object for which they were intended.
The B,ard of Aldermen of New York h'n
unanimously passed resolution, placing at Tie
disposalN the Board Of Health t,rcntyfrehou'

manner that may be deemed advisable, to guard
The city against the introduction OF the Cholera
We are very sorry to learn, that nOdai

triaing expense, in order to cleanse and PH"'!
the town, failed This is no, the proper way"
do business. If there were no such thing 3"
Cholera known, the expense should have O"a
incurred. Clean and healthy as our town t.
there are not twenty people in it who would n''
have been pleased had the Council passed w
resolution referred to.
