The Arkansas advocate., 1832-11-28

the New York papers gave dialy ac- counts of the mortality in that city, yet they forgot to tell that nine cases out of ten were generally cured, and phy- sician who failed 10 do this, was very liable 10 loose his reputation. A few cases of cholera may have existed, but to say that it prevails in our city, to call it an epidemic, would be an assertion on our part, 10 the support of which we should be unable to advance single
 fact or argument.
 IheJTM ofde iate Judge Workman.-- On satisfactory information being given
 to the Court of Probatcs- yesterday, of
 the death of Judge Workman, the Court proceeded to the opening and 1 probation of the last will of the deceas.
 ed. The will was an olographic one,
 dated i'll April, 1881. The testament-
 ar} dispositions, as far as we have been
 able to learn, are as follows:--After
 several legacies, none Of them exceed
 ing one thousand dollars, in this city,
 and only two above that sum, which
 we're to persous residing in New-Y ort<
 and Philadelphia ;--he gaze ten thon- sand dollarssto the Colonization Socie- l ty, and len thousand dollars to another
 Society, and the residue of his ample
 fortude was bestowed on the Nibernia
 Society of this city, to be disposed of
 for the purposes for which said Society was created. After giving select works
 from Ills library 10 several persons and
 institutions, he bequeaths the balahee
 ot his library to the Commercial Libra y of this city. The Judge has o re-
 lations in the ascending or dcsoendinc line. The Society which he. made uni versallegatee of his property, is de- voted to the relief and assistance of des- titnte aud indigent emigranls from Ire land and Scotland; and the testator during his life time was always a very prompt member and President of their dellberations.--Loaisiana Advertiser.
 Ch0fera n IouispiUe.-From the re- port of the Louisville board of health of the 18th inst. it seems that the Cho- lera has broken out in that city. We
 ublsh the following extracts from the report, that our readers may be inform ed Tn regard 10 the mode of living most proper 10 be observed. and also the principal premonitcry symptom, which It IS yer, important to attend to with the utmost care and preeantion. The idea advanced by the board, that this dis ease IS not contagious, will tend much to allay the apprehensions of the citi- zens of the interior of our State.-But we would snggestthe Propriety of such persons as are infected being placed in isolated and remote situations. so as to preclude even the possibility of commu- nlcatlng the malady by contact.--.Mis- Siss1pian.
 That there ssome ground for appre- hension we arc free 10 admit. For the very liability 10 such a violent malady, however remote, should render each one cautious as regards the premonitor, symptoms by which is attack is ordina- rlly ushered in. But with due ob- servance of the proper precautionary measures, we deem residence in the city accompanied with no serious dan. ger. Nor would we regard a visit to the city on business, as fraught with any superior liability 10 the diseasc-- provided that the habifs are temperate and the persons are circumspect in thnir mode of living.
 We are precluded, by the necessary limitation attached to this address. to enter.upon minute detail of the best precautionary means of warding of an attack of Cholera. We do not advise any abrupt deviation from the accus- toned manner of living. Temperance in eating IS important, though not so much so as temperance iE spifituous liquors. Cleanliness, the avoidance of nightexposure, and of damp rooms, are matters of great import in preventing attacks of the disease. Fires should be kindied to dissipate the humidity of sit nng as we'll as sleeping rooms. The clothing should be warm, and the body especially guarded during sleep, from Above all. let every one watch with constant vigilance. fhe con
