Country.
Two cases of cholera were reported yesterday
at the Office OF the Sanitary Superintendent
The measures already so successful In prevent
ing the spread of the poison we're used, and the
probabilities are that 80 long as they continue
the mortality from this cause will not greatly
increase. The best medical authorities agree
that the DANGER from cholera arises mainly from
the decomposition of the deiections Of patients
sick with the disease, and il the theory be cor.
rect the Board OF Health are acting wisely in
their almost unlimited use OF disinfectants
Wherever q cholera patient is found, all the
clothing bedding, and vessels used in tue cham.
Der OF the sick-all the rooms, water-closets.
YARDS, and areas in the immediate vicinity OF
the premlses-are submerged, inundated, or
covered by such chemical agents as experience
has shown 10 be etfcacious in destroying the
poison.
Sulphate Of iron, permangate of potassa,
chloride of lime, qucklime and Colx.powder
are the articles used IN each case in large guam
titles. The room IN which dlsinfectants are
stored contains plentiful supply, and prepara-
uons for any emergency that may arse are being
pushed rapidly towards completion. All the pro-
visions OF sanitary science have been studied,
and all that they have suggested has been done
IN the way OF preparing for an epidemic. What
value they have will be thoroughly tested, and
the Board of Health feel prepared to do what
little Is possible against the poison andit effects
