Why tciH ye die ?''


TIME light of science is penetrating the mist
h which has SO long shrouded the cause of Asatc
Cholera. Eminent physicians and naturalists In
Europe, and in this country, have ascertained De-
yond doubt the presence of vast numbers OF animal
culG in the atmosphere of places infected by this
as we'll as other diseases. The s'myriad races" of
these insects in their various kinds, are therefore
believed to be the medium by which epidemical
and contagious diseases spread similar
opinion was advanced by the French Medical
school, and different persons, in 1882 although the
admirable scientific plans for investigation, above
noticed, not then attained, nor published
early enough in the past season to be OF general
advantage. II is well known that an eminent
physician of France ascertaned, by an experiment
on his own person, that the disease commonly
called 'Itch" is caused by animalcule, which the
fume Of sulphur (among its other admirable quail
ities) promptly destroys; strong coincidence with
which, appears in fact Published late in the past
season, that persons whose systems were intention
ally impregnated with this 'potent agent" or ac-
cidentaly, (such attendants in works where gas
is obtained from bituminous coal, enjoyed perfect
immunity from cholera,
for applying this any other vapor, TO the human
system in portable and safely reeumbent manner, is

State of Ohio and lately completed by him in Tur-

lily should be witbout,") and aiding the physicians
