IN NEWARK.
The cholera which since last Monday has sbated,
seems 10 be again the increase. The fatal cases for
few days past have not been two day, but
to-day we hear of several They are all confined to
localities above Hgh-stt. and chiefly in the Sixth Ward
on WARDS ISLAND.
Awa 10 be expected the cholera has been quite severe
on Wards Island.
The island is under The charge o. the Commissioners Of
Emigration and persons are allowed on the Hand but
those VITO have bee2 IN the country less than hVe years
The greater part Of the residents recently arrived
emigrants, class particularly subject to cholera
There are now 2O72 persons on the lsand' vi theSe

The FIRST Of cholera tina, occurred was that % Philip
Strand an attendant in the Cholera Hospital Staten
Island On visit 10 Wards Island he was taken sick,
and Died on June G. In the ward where he died were
number of Children six of whom taken sick, aud
four Of them eventually died
The cholera spread through the island and the fist
cases that occurred very fatal. The disease, how

During the week ending July 90 there were 50 deaths in
all, of which 10 were caused by cholera.
Cholera treated in this place in the in
the Vienna Hospital Calomel and opium are used, the
opium, however, in small quantities.
The peculiarly of the treatment consists in packing
the patients while in collapse in sheets saturated with
cewater This it is asserted, brings the reaction much
more eectuay than the usua stimnla ats applied to the
surface of the body Since this method has been tried the
disease has not been so fatal as 1t was before
Another circumstance deserves mention. The patients
afflicted with venerea diseases of which there are from
eighty hundred in the hospital have up to this day
been entirely exempt from this plague The same fact IS
noticeable on Blackwels Island. This is something which
pby scians would do well to look into there may be
some effect produced by the medicines employed in syph
lite diseases which acts preventive of cholera
