REPORT ERoM THE CITY HEALTH OFFICER
The three hot months have just closed
In June few cases of choleraic disease oc-
, Cured, some proving fatal. There was
some panic in the public mind but il
5000 subsidized when it was found that
the disease did not spread.
In July there occurred on one week about
half, a dozen deaths, besides quite a num-
! Der of cases which were considered grave
1t had been my design during the last
week to make an official report, but severe
illness prevented.
1t may be said, however, that the whole
number Ofdeaths during theslast thirteen
weeks has not exceeded twenty-five.
This makes only about two cases week
on an average during the time above in
cluded. This is certainly small mum
, Der for population of over $4,000. ..
: Had not cholera been in the land, the
summer would have been considered "a
l unprecedentedly healthful.
The fatal cases were nearly all extreme
ones. They had assumed the collapsed stag
before medical attendance was obtained
+ 1t may be properly stated that in no in
stance which has come to my knowledge
> has single individual lacked for promp
medical attendance. Our physicians have
manifested a readiness to respond to every
call which is characteristic of the humane
/, christian gentleman. To-day there is blu
; little sickness Of any kind. Knoxville
i was aCver more hedHhY and more thar
that, never in q better sanitary condition
There is
NO CHOLERA NOW IN THE CITY
