To the Board of Health /:

To the Board of Health:
GENTLEMEN: We, the undersigned,
have been appointed by the Board OF
Health Of this city to address the, public
on the subject Of cholera. First, we are
happy to state that cholera does not
exist, here as an epidemic at this time.
Last week FIVE or six sporadic cases oc-
cured, since which we have heard of a
few cases. As this dread pestilence
prevails TO some extent in the cities
above, and at New Orleans, we may
reasonably look for its appearance in
our city at some time this fall or winter
But we believe it will hardly be in an
epidemic form, as it has never prevailed
in our city to any great extent in its for
mer visitations. Aside from this, no
pains are spared by the city authorities
and the Board of Health to render every
efficient aid to protect the public health,
such as cleansing the city by the removal
of filth and decaying matters, and the
free use of disinfectants, and the arrange
ment of suitable hospitals for the poor,
in different parts of the city, with nurses
and officers. If these arrangements
are carried out as contemplated by
the city authorities, we may reason
ably believe that this disease, if it
should appear in our midst, will be
confined to very narrow limits, and soon
disappear from the city. We would re
commend TO all persons that if the chol
era should visit us, to be calm and self
possessed, not indulge in any excess in
eating or drinking, but live as near as
possible as they are accustomed. Any
abrupt change of habit on the approach
of an epidemic is always attended with
danger, Inordinate use of fruit should
be avoided; indeed all food that is diff
cult of digestion should be avoided, es-
pecially should fresh fish and pork be
considered s'contraband 1t would be
we'll for all persons to watch the first
symptoms OF the disease = diarrhea.
When this symptom arises, consult your
family physician. Furthermore, we re-
commend the use of the disinfectant as
prepared by l.. |. Huette, on Court street
by dissolving one poand in fifteen gal
Ions of water, and throwing a portion of
it, thrice week, down the privy sink,
else by the use Of lime sprinkled in all
damp places One great popular error
is to look out for specifying for cholera.
Every case of cholera has to be treated
by the physician upon well known path
illogical conditions, at the time he sees
his patient What may be proper at
one time might be entirely pertinicious
an hour after.
