THE sCOURGE.

The plan of disinfecting this city is
either imperfect, inefficient, or futile. ii
there is any virture in lime, 1t should be
scattered under houses, in houses, around
houses, into the holes, hollows, upon the
streets-everywhere If to do this shall
subject the city to an outlay of quite a
sum of money, it will be well spent. 1t
is useless to disguise the fact that
cholera is undated, and fearfully fatal.
The most energetic measures, if measures
be of any avail, are imperiously de-
manded To neglect them, is to tribe
with human life. From twenty TO forty
persons die here daily of cholera alone.
No human means should be neglected to
allay the dreadful scourge. If it can
be done, and is not done, there will rest
a fearful responsibility somewhere.
