Have zoe Cholera or mol l--Dr. Chaytor, an,
eminent physician Of this city asserts that not
single case Of cholera has occurred in Will
mlngton. The cases reported as being cholera
ne states are merely cholera morbus OF a rather
malignant kind-but that in most il not all in
stances, II will yield to medical treatment. In
his estimation the disease reported as cholera,
Is such as will occur in any warm season, when
people are imprudent in their diet or manner OF
living. The cholera he asserts il an epidemic,
while the disease that has been prevalent in our
city has occurred in isolated situations, and is
not an epidemic. He also asserts that the pres
ent prevailing disease is totally different in its
symptoms from that which prevailed in 1882.
Dr. Chaytor is an old physician, and he has
long been in the front rank of his profession.
Ills opinion is entitled to weight--but there are
a number If not n.arly ally Of the most emf
nent OF the medical faculty of the city who as
serl il is cholera. Who shall decide when doc
tors disagreed The public would like to have
some light.
The Springs.-We paid hasty visit to the
springs on Friday afternoon last. DR.. Haugh-
ey was away and our stay was so short, that
we had but short lime 10 view the delightful
scenery. From the shorness Of our stay we could
not say much as regards the manner in which
the hotel was kept but from appearance we
should think the structures of the Philadelphia
press undeserved. The walters we found ac-
commodating and obligpg. The house was
moi as crowded as we should have liked to have
seen it. We hope soon to pay them a longer
J visit.

man.
