r. G.. Gennings, +. L. A. S, writes
to the Pail Mall Gazette, "to call at
tention to the attack OF cholera on
southern and western Europe now due.
Such visitations come with more regu-
larity than most people imagine. IL Is
remarkable that every attack on Egypt
is followed by an extension to England.
Such cholera is not OF the true Asiatic
type; it makes its appearance first IN
the Hadjiz, on the tropic OF cancer, IN
the neighborhood of Mecca, sometimes
the year before, sometimes the same
year, in which it appears in Egypt. ln
1881 it broke out at Mecca, the same
year it appeared in Egypt, and trav-
eled in n northwest direction to Eng
land, In 1887, six years after, IT ap-
peared in England again, having started
from Hadjiz in 1885. 1t lS4S, eleven
years after. it broke out at Mecca, ap-
peared in Egypt. aud reached England
the same year. In 1887, SIX years
after, it was in England again, having
broken out at Mecca two years before.
and spread to Egypt. In 1865, eleven
years after. it broke out at Mecca.
spread to Egypt. and reached England
the same year. In 1871, six years after,
it broke out at Mecca, but extended a.
far as the north Of France only. H.
1882, eleven years after, another attack
on Europe fell due. It viii be observed
that these outbreaks occur every six
and eleven years alternately; a great
outbreak happening every sevenseen
years, as 1881, 1915, 1865, and 1883.
In every instance in which Egypt has
been attacked, southern and western
Europe have suffered. There has been
some delay in regard to the commence
ment Of the present attack; but that Is
reason for believing that the advance
will be rapid. Ia the other great at
tacks the cholera has advanced from
Egypt to England in few months. On
the 25th of March, 1868, the disease
broke out at Mecca; on the 2d of June
it appeared in Alexandria, killing sixty
thousand persons in Egypt in three
months; OH the llth of June, only nine
days after, it reached France, and on
the 18th of September it was in Eng
land. 1t would appear, then, that the
cholera which visits our shores is net
Indian, but Arabian-diseases generic
ally the same, specifically different.
eleven years ago, when | stated that
the next great attack would be in 1888,
as matter of fact. seven different
species, which descend from the atmos-
phere at seven different points. situated
equally distant from each other along
the tropic OF Cancer, and move in a
northwest direction. The Indian and
Arabian streams intersect in England.
AS matter of fact, the Indian, from
its much longer course, exhausts itself
in Russia and Germany. and in all
probability we have never had an at
tack of 1t, unless. perhaps, it be when
the north OF England suffered in 1881.
AS regards the assertion one so often
hears, that all cholera can be traced to
the Ganges, what is to he said about
the cholera which commenced last July
in Mexico. aud last January was carry.
ing of, by fearful ravages. an immense
number of victims! Before the present
year closes. l expect to hear that
cholera has broken out in every Auarfar
