nounced to the world that this country
will be visited. during the present year
by an epidemic Of .Aisatic cholera.
Whether. like Virgins they base
their predictions upon mere guess work
or whether there is real danger we do
not know. But the iAct Of the predic-
ton iustifes a little thought upon the
laws of health and practical Hygiene,
It a fact nov We believe generally
accepted, that most acute diseases are
the result of violation of some phvsio'
logical law either by the individual,
his associates, or the community.
Now, as the GRAPHIC has always
made the general good paramount to
every other consideration a few hints
upon this subject will not be out OF
place.
How common it is at this seas.n
to hear people complaining OF colds
and headaches not seeming TO realize
that it is the result Of their own miscon.
duct.
As the warmer days come on the
heavy underclothes of the winter are
thrown aside and we march forth into
the warm sun dressed and feeling as if
summer had really come, but the next
day there is change, the wind is eth
er damp and chilly or crisp and cold;
the body for lack of its accustomed
protection from the warmer fanEels, is
drawn up and one gees shiverlng
around with lips compressed or teeth
chatterlng and nose blue, the very
picture Of misery and wretchedness. A
headache and cold follows; the doctor
is consulted, nauseous medicines must
be swallowed and doctor bill paio,
and often upon the part of women
especially, deeper and graver diseases
are engendered, all ofwhich could have
been avoided by following the most
simple and reasonable course in the
world, i. {. wait till summer comes be-
fore YOU dress for summer. the elements
are too changeable to attempt to force
the season.
Another prolific source Of disease,
as the weather gets warmer, Is the con-
dition OF the cellars, the alley, the back,
and even sometimes the front yards.
In the cellar is left few rotten veg
etables to decay and develop poisonous
and disease producing gases, perhaps
the water stands several inches deep
sending the effluvia from a astagnant sur
face through the whole house and
neighborhood; the alleys are recepta-
cles for old boots, oyster cans, dead
rats and hundred other things that
aid in the production of noxious, poi
sons that 'flike the destroying angels
spread their wings upon the blast"
carrying misery and death into the
homes of all classes. Later in the sea-
son as the fever stricken patient tosses
and means in an agony Of pain you
wonder why God should visit your low
ed one with such suffering. If you
want to protect yourselves and families
from such visitations, clean out your
cellars, drop few pounds of chlorid Of
lime into them. blend the aesthetic with
the useful. see that your surroundings
are made decent; and in so doing you
will make them attractive to the eye,
as we'll as healthful. At for the alleys,
complain to the Mayor and let him see
that they are put in that condition
which the health of the community de-
mands, and death will be cheatede of
half his victims. 1t is the best of all
preventives.
