CHOLERA.

Mr.. EDITOR 1T appears that the cholera
is again threatening our cities. IL Is my
conviction that The Intoxicating cup, wheth.
er that cup contains '.pure' or impure
poison. is in nine cases out of ten, the pre-
disposing cause to this fatal disease. AS re-
guards the "pure," fit was safe, do not
believe there is one gallon on sale in Alba.
ny. A large dealer honestly told me that
he had not one.
After the cholera had subsidized in Albany
in 1912, John T. Norton, Esq, (who, during
that year If death remained at his post ad.
ministering to the sick and dying,) was so
convinced tina, intoxicating drink was the
cause of u great proportion of the fatal cas-.
es, that he employed gentleman Of high
character and discretion, and at his individ.
ual cost. to ascertain the exact history Of
each case of death Of persons over l6 years
of age This history was submitted to the
attending physicians and sanctioned by
them after which the whole record was
submitted to thu Board of Health. They
added the following certificate:
+" This document of facts ice take pleasure
in recommending for publication, and gener.
al circulation"
The document. thus endorsed, was handed
to the New York State Temperance Society,
and published, Us other well authenticated
documents were. The summing up was as
follows:
