Indefinitely. But experience has shown
tbatwe cannot with any certainty hope
IN immunity from this scourge. There

strict, have ever prevented its entrance
alato this or any other country. 1t form

ouslv One might easily imagine that
ii originated down deep in the bowels Of

fnost fitting subjects to act upon. 1t is
Ilot regarded by physicians as a conta-
ksious disease no class OF persons and
kno locality appear to be exempt from its
hxtacks. and yet there is no disease
Which, in q majority OF cases, yields
more readily to skjllful treatment,
The same localities, and the same per
Unal habits that invite other diseases
will invite this. 1t is well known that
both the yellow fever and the cholera
have in times past been very fatal in
New Orleans; but since the great Au-
mean cleansing which Gen. Butter caused
to be performed in that locality, it has
escaped the former scourge almost en-
Mely, and there is reason 10 believe
Mat by the same rule it may escape the
Ehter also. About the year 1889 the
sAoara was very fatal in many parts OF
Kentucky. The people in those locali-
IT, were far from being cleanly in
@er personal habits; they consumed
hmense quantities OF gross and stimu-
ktiDs rood, and drank oceans of
@hisky.
EJudgng from the past We may expect
Hhat sooner or later, and we know not
HRw soon, this disease will again visit
pnrshores. 1t will therefore be the part OF
MSdom for us all to use such precautions
