PEE CHOLERA.

The foil,wing interesting notice of this
alarming disease is from the Lowell Oh
server. tits one of the most rational and
| satisfactory articles on the subject which We.
have met With.
The Eastern Mhidlesex Medical Asso-
clatlon, met in this town on Wednesday
last. when a able address was delivered by
Dr.. Thompion of Charlestown, on the
Cholera. The following IRE the leading
facts which Dr.. Il. aimed 10 establish, and,
in our opinion, successfully, by numerous
and exact references to authentic and scen-
thc accounts of this disease, and the opn-
ions OF the mott eminent practitioners under
whose observation it has fallen.
| ]. The Cholera is an epidemic fever of
peculiar kind. That is to say it results from
unknown causes which are liable to affect
large masses Of people. Such an Epidemic
was the Influenza Of the last winter. Any
disease almost, may become epidemic, by
what is technically called an "epdemc
constitution" Of the season in which it pre-
walls. Thus, there arc ancient records OF
the common choera-morhus having assum-
ed an epidemic character, and having ex-
hlblted all the symptoms Of an Asiatic Chol-
ern. The last year was spoken of, as Illus
tratiDg the epidemic constitution" 1t
