Epidenics.


In all ages of the world men have
been afflicted with three foes war, pes
thence and famine. Rapid methods Of
transportation have checkmated famine.
Science has in measure ameliorated
the horrors of war Human charity is
endeavoring to mitigate the frightful
fever of pestilence, but thus far in the
history of the race, man has been less
successful in fighting epidemics than
anything else Some few secrets he has
wrung from nature, but just as he has
begun to plume himself upon his tri-
umphs the malady takes some new
form and renews its ravages.
1t is now said that Asiatic cholera is
appearing in the East, getting ready to
march around the globe. 1t arises in
the crowded slums Of the Old World,
where filth and disease are protected by
| a fanatical religion and are the heritage
of ages. 1t finds in the long caravans
that wind over the arid deserts to the
tomb Of the prophet, at once its choicest
prey and its best method of propaga-
ton. From thence it works its way
along the Mediterranean 'sto Italy,
France and then to the sea coast from
whence every ship brings it to the ne W
world. This has been the history of
plaques from time whereof Tin the sol
