AVENUES OF CHoLBRA.-Greatv ater-courses
are said to be the avenues along which the
cholera travels from one part of the country to
another. This fact has been proved in both
Asia and Europe. No sooner does this pesti-
lence make its appearance at one point on a
stream than its ravages extend to other places
along the Same body of water, and in this man.
ner the poison is spread until the whole country
is affected. The disease now prevalent in the
south, supposed by many to be Asiatic cholera,
exhibits this characteristic. From Memphis il
journeyed to Nashville and Cincinnati. From
Cincinnati other water courses invite its pro-
gress east; and, whatever it may be, it is almost
certain to pay us visit before the coming on
OF the Geld season. Are We ready to meet il?
