Cholera in Wheeling in 1873


We are indebted 10 DR.. s. L. JEPsoN,
Health Officer, for pamphlet prepared
by him in regard to the cholera in this
city in 1878. II will be remembered that
We had two distinct visitations Of cholera
In that year. There were in oil thirty five
cases, twenty-five of which terminated
fatally, showing q mortality Of sixty.three
per cent. The first visitation occurred in
the early part Of June and ended about
the last Of July, during which time there
were thirteen cases and six deaths, or q
mortality Of 46 per cent. Tho second
visitation occurred about the last Of Aug.
ust and continued until the last OF Sep
tember, although most Of the cases occur.
red between the Goth Of August and the
eth Of September. During this visitation
there were twenty-five cases and sixteen
deaths, or mortality Of 73 per cent.
Dr.. JEpsoN does not believe that the
cholera was generated here, but that it
occurred by importation from Cincinnati
Once here it displayed itself in variety
Of localities under different conditions.
The sanitary condition Of the city he says,
while not in a condition to repel cholera
was neither in condition TO especially
invite it" Tho surroundings Of the
houses In which cases occurred did not In
several instances seem to exert any appre.
Csble influence. In only four cases was
the sanitary condition absolutely bad,
while in fourteen it was medium and in
seventeen good. In the First Ward there
were 8 cases, in the Second 4, in the
Third /, in the Fourth l, in the Filth
8, Sixth s, and in the Eighth 0.
From which it will be seen that
93 out of the So cases occurred
in the three wards south Of tho Greek.
The severity Of the visitation in the Filth,
Sixth and Eighth Wards is accounted for
on the theory that they arc lower, and
not because Of uncleanliness, for, as the
Doctor observes, the Eighth Ward was 10
more cleanly condition than either the
Second or Fourth. DR.. JRPsoN believes
that in cholera, as In all other epidem-
lea, tho personal habits and mode OF lite,
together with tho previous state Of health
Of those attacked, had much influence not
only In inducing the attack but also
ln bringing about fatal termi-
nation. Thirteen Of the patients
had been Incorporate, three were mod
crate drinkers, four were in impaired
health, and fifteen were in good health,
three Of the latter however being over G5
years Of age. This classification shows
total oi 23 persons whose sanitary con.
dition was NOT such as to resist tho dis.
ease. or the remaing deaths two cases
received no treatment until the very
last.
Olt Of the 85 persons attacked, 10 were
employed In tho iron mills. In 81 Of the
cases there were premonitary diarrhGi
symptoms. The duration Of this dlsrrh9A
varied from half a day to over a week.
It's thought that a number of deaths
could have been prevented had the pa
IIens given early warning Of the exist
ence Of this symptom and placed them.
selves under medical treatment. This is
spoint Of which the public should take
notice for future guidance,

GhsQnteIlig
Are Judges Ineligible to the United
states Senate3

lnssmuch as two or three members Of
the State Judiciary have been spoken OF
in connection with the approaching elec.
ton Tor United States Senator, 1t becomes
an interesting question to know whether
Judge is eligible under the Constitution
TO that position. Section II of Article
VII. of the Constitution provides that
No Judge, during his term of office,
hAH practice the profession of law, or
hold any OTHER office, appointment, or public
trust, under this or any other government,
and the acceptance thereof shall vacate
his Judicial office; nor shall he, during
bis continuance therein, be eligible to
any political office"
The above reads like very plain and
explicit provision. There can be no doubt
AS to the intention Of Its trainers. It was
to keep the judicial ermine out OF the
mire Of politics. It was, in other words,
to separate the judiciary, like the order
ol the priesthood, from everything COM
mon and unclean. But notwithstanding
this provision we hear Of candidates
among the judiciary for the senatorship.
In the former constitution there was q
somewhat similar provision in regard to
Governor OF the State. It was provided
in the first section Of Art. V that "the
person acting as Governor shall not be
elected or appointed to any other Office
during his term Of Office" This prohibi.
ton was somewhat discussed at the time
ot Governor BoREMAN's election to the
Senate in 1850. 1t was held at that time
by some persons that he was not eligible
to the Senate, and that his election was
Ia despite of the prohibition quoted.
The provision in the new Constitution
IN regard to judges IS more explicit. 1t
expressly says that judge "dur.
ing his continuance in office shall not be
eligible to any political Office" This OF
course would not bar him from resigning
III order TO be elected Senator. In the
case of the Governor, under the old Con-
stitution, the language was tEat he could
not be elected or appointed to any office
during his term Of SERVICE" that is, (as
some people would interpret iD during the
term for which he was elected. Governor
FOREMAN however was elected Senator
during his continuance in office, and, 80
far as we know, the question was never
finally settled as.to the proper construc-
ton TO be put upon the clause quoted. If
we arc correctly informed, the opinion OF
Mr.. LAMB, one Of the trainers Of the old
Constitution, was that the clause did not
prohibit his election however.
