Er. Fnuval, one OF III" most competent au-
thoritiaS. has nualvZcd the official dccu-
r,cuts. ana hs conclusions are worth
knowing. Il was in 1870 that the alarm
WAS even II Constant uollc Oh INC o'lc

Az,f. and n Eos,oh on the Don. Soon the
rr,nc.,a cites vi TIC Russian coast OF the
EIgck Sea we're STACKED in the course OF
the mouth OF Augus,-kcrich, Bcrdiansk,
Thco:io>il, ;t.dcssa, and even Pcti, whence
the disease proDagatcd itself into the
interior OF the Caucasian provinces. AS
u>uL. tho rapid propagation along
the Russian coast conceded with the
arrival (py Steamship Of travellers
start ne from the infected points. There
wa no miSta!iing that 1t was an epidemic
Of A>iatic cholera. coming from the into
rior Of nuSgl. with the movement produced
b, the transport OF 2raiG to the point oil en-
birkali0n. This epidemic was otherwise re-
lnari;lHc for the s.ightnesS o. its intensity !;
A. the end Of Scptemberit was everywhere
Oh the decline. and subsequently died out
alcng the coast. an important TACT 10 be
observed in regard to this epidemic Is that,
thanks to the measures OF quarantine en-
forced Dv The OTTOMAN sanitary authorities,
the Turki.h coast was completely saved
from the disease, i'll spite al the numerous
arrivals from The Infected ports. Thus,
from the 81 Of august To the 2lst of Sep
TENDER not fewer lnan seven hundred
shlpS-amcny which were several having
cholera on blald--wCre Submitted to quar-
anime IL the mouth Of the BoSphorus.
Whence did this epidemic come: The first
idea winch occurs Is that this was simply
III extension o. the maludy which reigned
At the commencement Of the year
IN the province oil Central Russia, and
was prOpagitcd 30 the South with the COM
lnc.c!al movement aforementioned. AT
Cnnstautinnple another opinion is enter
tuiucd. They have the conviction, based
on documents he value Of winch is not yet
aSccrtaneG by C"nil4cntal authorities, that
|. tbs epidemic, and even that Of the close Of
loiJ. was duc 10 Persian importation. The
J hl'r'!>c Is Crclarcd TO have broken out at
n. ini Auv-nrod at the time Of the Fair, and
wun tic arrival Of The Persian merchants.
This Question is one which, as DIR. Faurcl
pbHt- GU, Il 81 great IIui"pc'ii ibiPoiI-
a"cr. II, IL the prevalent opinion runs.
The actual epidemic he only a sequence of
! the importation OF 1860, Il rccrudescence
si.rh as is often observed in imperieClly-eX-
liu"lishcG ioci OF disease, this epidemic Is
distinguished from those which precedc it
in lis course of INVASION, and would tend to
prove that cholera has found in Russia con-
ditions favorable to It's genesis and acclima-
tizaloD. IT, Oh lie other hand, the exist
ing epidemic have lor It's origin Il Persian
importation, it tails then uuGcr the ordi-
| nary rule OF ciidcn!ics OF cholera due TO 4
importation Of the disease. This is 4
question which it bchoovcs the sanitary adj
MlGiatrati0n To solve.
