WEDNESDAY MORNING. JUNE 10. 1856

The GENERAL HEALTH OF THE CTTY.-A
meeting of the Board of Health was held
yesterday evening, the official report of Which
is published in another column. The COM
mittee report the city of New Orleans to be
in perfectly healthy condition. "There is
not" says the report, a single case Of yellow
fever or cholera TO be found within the juris-
diction of this board" A fatter, more en-
phatic, or more reliable denial could not be
given 10 the ridiculous rumors which have re-
Gently been spread, by foolish or evil-minded
persons, regarding the prevalence of yellow
fever and Asiatic cholera. The committee,
nevertheless, suggest that all physicians
should report any cases of yellow fever OF
cholera that might come under their observa-
ton. The health officers are required strictly
to enforce the health ordinance particularly
Section q, which makes it imperative upon
all concerned to report cases Of epidemic
disease to the board
We are glad this decided step has been
taken by the Board of Health. Invariably
ON the approach of midsummer, the most ex-
travsgant rumors prevail in the vicinity Of
the city concerning the visitations of yellsv
fever, cholera, or some other epidemic. If
patient stricken with epilepsy. in May or
June, is earned TO the hospital, and should
die vomiting his hearts blood, it is imme-
diately set down in the minds of timorous
gossips as a genuine case of yellow fever.
Let our friends in the country, as well as our
own fellow-citizens, who are better informed,
trust implicitly to the Board of Health-a
body composed of men of the highest charac-
ter, as regards both scientific attainments and
moral standing. This board will never de-
eeive their fellow-citizens
