COMMUNICATED.

Er,rct from Doctor Pattison's letter to Doctor
CarmichdeI
Every thing which tends to purify the at
Uosphere. although 1t cannot destroy the Chole-
"a Influence which exists in it, operates most be-
ne6cially in diminishing its intensity. This is
an axiom worthy Of consideration, and one which
cannot be too forcibly impressed on the attention
of municipal authorities. Its truth has been suf-
Sciently demonstrated in this country. where CT
ties seem to have suffered more or less. just in
proportion as cleanliness has been more or less
attended to. Neither Gordon sanitaire nor the
strictest quarantine regulations will ever prevent
the extension Of the Cholera Asphyxia; buta ri.
gid code Of rules for the cleansing of cities, and
most rigorous enforcement Of them by visilant
system Of police, although it may not prevent the
disease from mauifestins itself. will have most
decided and salutary influence in mitigating its
maliguty, aud saving from its ravages thousands
victims"
