Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1873-06-29

"rhe recent civil war has lief the city OF
Nashville most dangerous inheritance, in
the numerous small wooden houses and
shanties huddled together in the environs
of the city, without system, without regu-
lar streets, and without any facilities for
the enforcement of hygienic regulations.
These gaDgreDons belts which eDcircle the
business portions of the city, with their
crowded and oftentimes destitute inhabi-
tants, form most favorable field for thu
lodgmeDt and spread of such diseases as
small poX and cholera. 1t is difficult if not
impossible, to devise any efficient meas
ure for the arrest Of contagious diseases
amongst the inhabiiant of these small
wooden huts, which in almost every case
are wholly deficient in ventilation and
crowded with old bedding, clothes and rags.
As the case now stands, cholera
might appear and prevail amongst the poor
and destitute and distressed inhabitants of
Nashville for days before its presence might
even be suspected. The chief source of
danger in the future, as was clearly demon
sirated by the experience of the past cpl
demic, Will be from the over-crogdsd and
filthy portion of the city. During the last
epidemic 1S66), the first deaf his recorded
upon the register of the CITY, Cemetery "a
cholera, occurred amongst the colored
population August 80 and 81, whilst the
first deaths recorded amongst the whites Or
! CURED on the 4th OF September. and nm m
this day nine deaths had occurred amonost
| the blacks. Up to the 18th of Sentembar
nine deaths had been recorded upon the
| register of the City Cemetery amongst the
whites, whilst forty-six had occurred
amongst the blacks"
DR.. jones' total of deaths by cholera in
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1873-06-29

Total. I03
"In addition to these, were 81 interments
in the Catholic cemetery from the breaking
out of the cholera 10 the 10th of Septem-
Der, nearly all of whom, we were informed,
had died of cholera. We have, therefore,
over 800 deaths as the harvest which the
pestilence gathered while it hell high car
nival in our city. With the single exception
of Memphis, the mortality has been greater
in Nashville, according to population, tn n
any other city it has visited in this country.
The mortality has been very great among
the freedmen and the ill-fed and poorly
cared for whites in the suburbs of the city.
The history of the epidemic shows among
the prudent citizens of the old-settled por-
tons of the city, the cholera prevailed but
to limited extent. 1t is remarkable fact
there were but few cases of cholera among
the Jewish portion of our population, and
only five, we believe, that proved fatal,
showing how prudent they are in their
mode of living. We are told that they have
q similar history in every place where cholera
has yet appeared"
How like prophecy in the light of events
some ofDr. Jones' suggestions touching the
sanitary necessities of the city read. The
cholera really appeared and prevailed some
time before its presence was discovered,
while its rayages have been most fearful in
the locality and among the class indicated.
Had proper sanitary regulations been enforc-
ed each year, as ought to be the case, the force
thep resent visitstionmight have been greatly
mitigated, if not wholly averted. Let US
learn the important lesson it teaches, not to
be caught in a similar condition in the iu-
ture. Cleanliness will not only avert cholera,
but promote health every way.

1866. almost TALES with the statement pre-
pued for and published in the Nashville
Dispatch shor,ly after the disappearance OF
the disease in that year. As it viii be an
interesting accompaniment to DIR. Jones'
report, we extract the following from the
statement of the Dispatch:
@There was fatal case of cholera in this
city on the 9th of August 1866, beir that
of q negro woman who arrived here from
Cincinnati, where cholera was raging in
epidemic form, and who was suffering from
an attack of the disease. No new cases oc-
curing, our citizens had quietly Sc tied
down in the belief that we should oe spared
a visit from this terrible pestilence. But it
broke out on the 3lss Of August, and ragged
with great fury from about the middle to
the close of September. From the daily re-
ports of the Secretary Of the Board OF
Health and the books of the sections OF the
different cemeteries, we have made up a
statement Of the Number of deaths from
cholera occurring each day to the 16.h OF
September, inclusive, and from that day
forward have adopted the daily reports OF
the mortuary committee OF the Board OF
Health. as follows: 49, sd. -. -, -

There were go deaths by cholera in the
month Of September, 1866. We have re.
ports from the TIL to the 2Sth of this
month inclusive OF 597 deaths by the dis
ease; and we think it safs to say that at
least hundred should be added for deaths
that occurred before the 7Lh AID of others
who found burial through other sources
than The regular undertskers during the
prevalence of the disease. These facts
seem TO indicate that the present visitation
Of cholera is more virulent than that of
1866. There may be local reasons for its
greater severity this year than formerly,
and our city authorities should institute in
quiry which would throw light
on this subject. There is no
doubt that the city was in
about as bad condition as it well could have
been to receive the cholera, or for that mat
ter, any other disease likely. to become cpl
demic. We need Board of Health, COM
posed of live, active men, whose duty it
shall be to look after the sanitary condition
of the city, with authority to enforce proper
regulations for promoting health. The
articles we publish to-day will impress upon
both our municipal authorities and the citi-
zens of Nashville the Importance of doing
something more than has yet been done to
promote the health of the people. There is
no reason why Nashville should not be one
ofthe healthie st cities in the Union; on The
contrary, there is every reason why it
should be, if We will only employ and i'm
prove the advantages which nature has so
generously bestowed upon the place. Now
that cholera appears TO be lifting its terrible
form from our stricken city, let US not for
get with the return of health and in the
rush Of business, the lesson this visitation
has 50 pAinfully,and impressiveIy taught us,
tn il we would enjoy heath and immuni-
ty from pestilence, we must put our city in
order in all its streets and alleys and pri-
vate premises, and keep it SO.
