There has been but one death from Cholera
in Fulton City. and two in Lyons, this season,
which occurred several weeks since; and these
were persons who came IF the boats ard WEI
afflicted with the disease when they landed =
No other cases have occurred aud the health
Of the two places is remarkably good. Should
the health OF these places continue as good
throughout the season as it has heen thus far,
they will be much more fortunate than some
of their neighbours who are SO wiling to injure
them by creating and circulating false reports

Cholera.

As this disease is reappearing in the Missis-
sipPi valley, word in respect to it may not
be out Of season.
There is proof that The determining cause Of
the disease is Of an atmospheric or aromal char
acter. The change Of temperature, and in the
direction Of the wind, has been accompanied
by a total disappearance Of the maraia, the
infection, or the unhealthy aromal or electrical
condition, which produced the disease.
We speak vaguely Of the cause Of cholera;
hut We can approximate sufficiently to its ma
ture, and have observed its effects. The dis.
ease is epidem,cal, it is infectious, character
is quite subordinate to its aromal origin. All
who breathe the same atmosphere, or are sub
ject to the same electrical condition will be
liable to take the disease.
lmpunity will depend solely upon the pow
er of resistance will depend wholly upon the
strength and vigor, upon a proper perfor
nance of the functions Of life; in a word upon
health. All persons in health will resist the
cholera; all persons who approximate to heath
will recover from it-none but the weak, the
debilitated, those who have lost their nervous
energy. and lowered the tone Of their systems
will die.
The cholera is the disease Of the poor, the
miserable, the debased, the licentious. 1t is
the disease of fifth, of intemperance, and Of
vice The comfortable. the Clearly. the virtu-
Gus, and the happy have very little to fear

| We repeat our advice, to keep ueu. Do eve.
iything which can promote the vigor Of the
body and mind; avoid every thing which wea
kens and depriyes. All drugs and medicines
are poisonous in their nature, and weakening

cholera. they cannot fail to predispose people
to its worst effects. Pray avoid them; Do. Mnl
