The Cholera in Turkcy--Important
facts in its treatment,
CONsTANTINopLE, Aug. 81. 1913.

n 'oNSIAN1INOPLE, aug. u, 1913.
| Messrs. Edltors-,he cholera is still making
dretd ravages in various parts of Turkey, as
/ well as IN some portions of Europe. Mys-
| terous disease ! that stretches its gigantic
arms from the Red TO the White Sea, and a,
the same moment of time kills, as ia a nom.
| ent, It's hundreds and thousands in Cairo. in
Constantlnople aud in Petersburg And
thus II moves onward, and onwarl, and on.
ward towards tie West, awakening the mos,
gloomy forcbodings in nations and countries
yet unreachcd, while it leaves dcsolation and
sorrow behind. Quarantines and milito-sani-
tary" cCrdons" are instituted in vain. They
have again and again been proved 10 be mos, =
perfectly useless in staying the march of this
dreadful pcstcncc.
No quarantinos or disinfecting agents can
be OF any avail unless you can adopt means
so general and powerful as u change the
character of the whole atmosphere around us.
There can scarcely be doubt that the Asiat
ic cholera, as it is called, depends upon a
specific cause, and that that cause is in the
atmosphere. Recent observations seem TO
show that the electric or magnetic fluid has
something to do with it. This is point upon
which srme light may be thrown in America
should the disease invade that country. as
now seems most probable for tie electric
'eiegraphs IN operations there arc more mum
erous than in any other country in the world,
and II, as has been asserted in Europe, the.
cholera atmosphere affects these instruments,
ihc fact must surely be observed in America.
The cholera has now existed in the city of
Constantlnople for nearly one entire year ;
though much of the time 1t has been of
mid type, and limited in ext,nt. Within the
last month, however, il has shown more ma
Iignancy than at any former period and dur,
ing one week nearly all who were attacked
lied. The number Of deaths in the city,
rom cholera alone, during that week was re-
ported at 100. AT the same time the disease,
has been raging at Broosa, Nicomedia, Ada.
'ara, Magnesia, Urntab Aleppo, and various
'thcr places in the interior. Trcbzond was

The dead the dead! do they

| W. u.oRANsToS.
The dead the dead do they love US still,
/ In the regions where they roam,
And oh, are their spangled wings ere bent
/ Over us, in their former home
Do they feel for Us as once they felt,
When The earth was their abode,
, Or are they now too pure to know
Augh; save the love Of God
Canthey see our deeds from the spirit land,
And bless all the pure in heart
And does the birth Of sinful thought
To them deep gret impar,
Oh, say do the loved ofearth yet live
In far off sunny cline,
And shall we meet in their fond embrace.
Beyond the wreck Of time
Oh, yes, know that they 1--we us still,
And feel as they felt on earth,
Save the loss of tempting spir it fin,
Which lessened the angels worth.
But they know the storms that darken life
They have felt the woes we feel
And they pray for strength to nerve our hearts
And power to live with zeal.
hey have loved us once and would greet us
me clouds grow thck at even, (when
And folding us meath their snowy wings,
ThricJ welcome us home to heaven.
They are with us still in our hallowed dreams
In the quiet hours of night,
And they bend above the trembling soul,
With spirits pure delight,
They cheer us on in the path oflife
With Hopes extatc thrill
Then let us have pure faith in God
For the de d,-tley love us still
