TEE USE OF CISTERN WATER. The
Gallatin, Tenn, Examiner" has this to
say about the use of cistern water: " We
have often called the attention of our
citizens to what we regard as a well-set-
tied fact that those who habitually use
cistcrn water are nearly, If not entirely
exempt from attacks of cholera. All the
experience and information We have leads
us to this conclusion. During the prev
aleEce of the epidemic in Nashville in
lSl9-'50 it was often remarked. During
the present visitation, although it is raging
in Nashville, Edgeield is exempt from its
ravages, and we understand that not a
single case has originated there, although
a few have died there who contracted it
in Nashville. We learn, also, that there
is 4 like experience in Memphis. In one
ward of the city, where cisterns are plcn-
tiful, not 4 single CASE has occurred. At
Clarksville, where nearly every family is
supplied with q ~cistern, the citizens feel a
sense of security impaired by their pos
SCSSlOl' III looO IHU ClOlCIh SNCpU buV
town-there were no cisterns. In lS49-'50,
it was observed that there was no: a case
in afamily that used the rain water. At
once the citizens went to work and SO
many were built that q place is not re-
garded as desirable without a cistern upon
it. 1t was proved in 1866, when the chol-
era swept Nashville, carrying of $40 per-
sons. The records at GAINESVILLE show
that there was n mortality of 20, of whom
SO were negroes living in the outskirts,
and one white man, an incbriate, all Of
whom drank spring and we'll water. And
we are informed that the citizens ofClarks-
vile, amid the universal panic that over
spreads the whole county, arc cool and
confident, and as exempt from fear as
though the cholera was no ncarcrthan the
jungles of India. This feeling o%fconil-
dence itself is priceless in time OF panic.
We may mention, in addition to the many
other facts supporting II theory, that the
cholera has never prevailed in a frec-stone
country. Surely, these are sufficiently
well established points to enlist general
attention.

CHoLERA,-ThiS disease seems 10 be ON
the decline in Nashville especially, and
other places generally. Still. however,
great caution in diet and habit is ncccSsa-
ry, There is enough known of the ma
ture of the disease at this period OF its adj
vent to justify the conclusion, as given in
our last issue, that the p~redisposing cause
is felt all over the country, and it is devel-
oped only IN certain localities, where an
exciting cause operates, and this is either
in the water or diet, or both.
From the tone of the Nashville papers,
they feel that injustice is done them by
many persons in giving credit to alarm
lists over the country, and not to the state
mehts made by themselves, obtained from
the most reliable sources in the city. 1t is
true they ought to have the best chances
OF knowing the number OF deaths per day,
and doubtless they give the mortuary
lists as they receive them. They do not
pretend to give the number of cases that
happen daily in the city, but only the
deaths, and consequently we are left to
guess at the number of cases that are on
the daily sick list. But this much is said !:
that nearly all cases recover that receive
prompt medical assistance; and judging
from the number Of cases that the many
physicians OF Nashville ran SEQ promptly
every day, the disease must be very prev
alent there, and also very manageable.
There must be several hundred cases every
day. Then, making another estimate;
Suppose one-halt the citizens of Nashville
have left the place, then at the rate of
three hundred cases per day within the
last three weeks, this would give II result
of six thousand cases in the city, and
there would be left only about seven
thousand new subjects to be operated up
even yet, when we consider the number
dying daily, estimating the number of
deaths at twenty per day. Such calcula-
lions are made in the country, in an effort
to arrive at some reasonable idea of the
fatality and prevalence of the epidemic.
These data are more speculation than cal
culation. There is no good reason now
why we should not take the reports of the
city papers as authority, SO far rs the NOR
tality is concerned. There is no panic, no
running to and fro to escape to the coun-
try, as prevailed a few weeks ago, and the
daily reports may receive the sanction Of
authority and, from all that appears, the
disease is greatly on the decline, falling
from se%venty-tive per day to ten on Mon
day-that is, so many deaths. We have
no means of knowing the number Of cases,
but in our opinion not less than one in
three die. We do not believe that the
physicians cure anything like all the cases
they see at the beginning. lfthey do, 1t
is the mildest form of cholera that ever
invaded this country, and not Us the Union
and American says, "worse than Asiatic
cholera"
