TTNHE light of science is penetrating the mist
Il which has 80 long shrouded the cause of Asiatic
Cholera. Eminent physicians and naturalists In
Europe, and in this country, have asccrtained be-
yond doubt the presence of vast numbers OF animal
cul@ in the atmosphere Of places infected by this
well as other diseases. The "myrad races" oil
these insects in their various kinds, therefore
believed to be the medium by which epidemical
and contagious diseases are spread. similar
opinion was advanced by the French Medical
school, and different persons in 1882; although the
admirable scientific plans for investigation, above
noticed, were not then attained, nor published
carly enough in the past season to be OF general
advantage. Ii is well known that an eminent
physician of France ascertained, by an experiment
on his person, that the disease commonly
called "Itch'' is caused by animalcule, which the
fume of sulphur (among its other admirable quail
ties) promptly destroys; strong coincidence with
which, appears in fact published late in tho past
season. that persons whose systems were intention
ally impregnated with this "potent agent" or ac-
cidentahy, (such attendants in works where gas
is obtained from bitumnous coal,) enjoyed perfect
imnsanity from cholera.
