We have already given the important portions Of
the report Of The Health Officer concerning cholera The
| following additional statements arc Of interest:
While the employees Of the hospital and receiving ships
suffered more OF less from darrhea Is fact worthy Of
loo ffafn flppe AT el nIi
THE circumstance IA more remarkable from The fact That
vet nc found at one time 100 sick aud 20 dead on board
OF the attendants board attacked with cholera hut
women employed in washing the soicd clothing OF cholera
patients At Gibraltar during the epidemic last year the
place where the soldiers clothes washed became a
terrible focus Of Infection and all employed were seized
with the disease IN 1882 but of cholera
cclVed INTO hospital VINE thele were 5ol deaths IN inc
city NcwYOr IN lSi9 there In quaTan-
tire and j05l deaths in the city; in 1854 as cases IN quar-
anime and POP IN inc CITY, WINE during inc present
there have been COS cases In quarantine and only
l2lO deaths in NewIOrk. with population double what
/ II was IN 1919, aud four times greater than in 1882
The question 10 whether the disease DC prevented
from reGnteng The country Is argued at length and the
report says 10 can be by All efficient quarantine.
The report closes follows " desire TO acknowledge
been extended 10 me by your hOno able Board during the
past and 10 express 10 you my sincere conviction
now, perceive and acknowledge the debt Of gratitude
