CHOLERA. new theory has been started
at Vienna, relating to the fatal Pestilence
which is rapidly spreading over tho globe
The reasoning, though fnrfetched, is somewhat
plausible, and is supported by many facts,
which have bearing on the case.
II is conjectured that the Cholera proceeds
from mephlic vapors, which formed in the
earth, are communicated first to the water !;
and it is added that this disease always appears
i'll those places first, where the wells are deep.

Cholera first appeared, the inhabitants were so
convinced Of the noxions qualities of the water,
that they believed The wells to have been y0is.
oned. In some places tho poultry and pigeons
died in great numbers-and mortality has
likewise frequently been remarked among the
fishes in deep rivers and ponds In the same
manner Is accounted for tho fact, that The
Cholera follows tho course Of rivers and is
more fatal in the neighborhood of large bodies
Of fresh water.
Convinced of the truth of this hypothesis
many of the Europeans have been in tho habit
Of boiling The water before they use II, which
theY CONSIDER a preventive Of this disease.
