crisis the city and township elections have
away and nothing talk about while standing at the
corner Of the streets, unless we try and stir up
little excitement about Cholera. The certainty OF
having it in our midst has been positively asserted
as soon as enavigation opened,' and still there
| seems to be no alarm in the public mind and not
| much preparation made by our city authorities to
prevent its spread. To be sure they have recon-
mened the Inhabitants to cleanse up by dry scrub
bing," &C., still things look about as usual. The
streets and alleys decidedly uncean and require
attention. All kinds of decayed vegetables there
! deposited which is prolific cause of disease
They may produce cholera and probably will not
for it is to be .brought here steamboats, In
what way it is to make It's advent we not told,
but suppose after eating head of cabbage drink
ing half pint to pint Of whiskcy, then eating a
quart ofmush and milk, and then If such Individual
should have pain in the bowels with sick stomach
and look little blue' it would be cholera de facto
understand we have had few cases Of the above
description, which might with great propriety be
called spurious cholera, as we have other diseases
which Doctors call spurious why not have spurious
cholera. t.as s4
Now suppose to have the real genuine ~simon
pure" cholera it would be necessary that there pre-
vail predisposition in the symptoms Of indvidu-
ais to the disease, and that predispositon would be
general and that eating the cabbage, drink
ing the whiskey,ac., any great deviation from the
ordinaE course Of living would act as an exciting
cause to develop the disease. suppose long absti-
hence or insufficient food would also operate as bad
as over eating, and would in all probability dcbili-
tate the system more; for in the case of over dis

on and reject the ndgestibe contents of this WIS.,
Gus. In spurious cholera the predisposng cause
and exciting cause are changed, and the predispos
ing cause is morbid appetite for the cabbage whis-
key, &C., and taking them into the stomach the ex-
citing cause. It is no difficult matter to prevent
this kind Of cholera and we need stand in no fear
Of if live rational creatures. It is diff
cult matter at any time to bring disease and even
death, if we are constantly violating the physical
laws Of our nature; and the penalty certainly will
follow, which is sickness, impaired constitution ana
premature old age. Now let US one and all live as
becomes rational intelligent and accountable beings
that must render strict account for all the bless
ings we enjoy here in this world, among which is
health and happiness. Use the good things Of this
world as not abusing them" and five are to have
as much sickness as is confidently progno;ticated,
let US meet il like good and faithful soldiers and as
nach as within lies ward off its fatal esets
stead or enqeavofing to keep up constant excite
ment and alarm in the public mind. Say less about
it and If an individual should happen to have the
cholic, not straghtway manufacture it into cholera
as some are frequently disposed to do in order to
s''' aMake the pleasure quite as great
or being cheated as TO cheat.''

the further prosecution of the project. -
He will leave for the United States as
soon as the state of his health will admit.
