| LONDON, Aug. 31.-As yet, no case OF true
Asiatc cholera has occurred in England Nobody affects
to doubt that it is coming the best say is that
it comes slowly. 1t seems TO have touched the shore
more than once but could not get foOhold As long
ago as July 81 two deaths from Asiac cholera
ported board steamers arriving from Cronstadt at
Hull In both the deaths occurred some time be-
fore the steamer reached port medical officer OF the
Privy Council went down, and the next report was that
the health Of Hull better. fortnight later,
Aug. 49, had the famous Edmunds case. Dr. Edmunds
letter TO The Times saying he had attended the pre-
evening typical of Aatic cholera but Dr. Ed

in the House OF Commons by MI. Forster himself The
Prvy Council had sent their physician, who reported
that OF English and not Of Asatic cholera
Since then there has been, far know, no rumor
of trouble. No physician likely TO rush mady into
print after poor Dr. Edmundss sad experience Yet his
laundering hurry did real service The English public
and even English officials woke up for all 20 the
impending danger You might have talked TIL doons
day about cholera in kUnigsberg and Danzig Nobody
knows or cares anything about KOgsberg Dantzig
nor believes cholera will till il il knocking at En-
gsh DOORS till somebody says it is The sanitary
authorities took alarm from DR.. Edmund too
The Priyy Council published u memorandum OF advice
and precautionary measures, and people tuay
read and began to follow this advice. The papers dis

Water Company is said to have asked its engineer
whether m of the cholera it would be possible to
reduce the proportion of organic impurities supplied to
their customers. 4
Meantime the approach OF the true cholera Is preceded
by frequent of English cholera, and by most
alarming increase in darrhea aud
