anxiety when the epidemic is announced,
remembering that, in It's premonitory stage,
choleca is generally curabie, and that all the
exciting causes Of the nlalady can be avoided
promptly second the efforts of the public
authorities in all enlightened plans for pro-
tecting. the public health especially in all
that relates to civic cleanliness, the abate-
ment OF nuisances. and the proper care and
feeding Of the poor.
4. If in business, or charged with any
public or philanthrophie duty, do not forsake
your post ofpersonal or official labor, except
when suffering from premonitory symptoms
OF cholera or other sickness.
.. Aid and encourage the removal and
prevention of the localizing and exciting
causes of cholera throughout the district in
which you reside.

13 Be prudent In the use Of food and bev-
erages, being particularly attentive to quail
ty and digestibility.
II. Bear in mind the fact that painless
diarrhoea is the almost invaliable precursor
Of the cholera, and that if not Immediately
