 Nature one of the English scientific jour- nals, has this to say of cholera: The infec- tion must be actually imported into our midst. It has never yet been imported ex- cept through human agency, and the poison appears to be all but, if not entirely, limited to the discharges from the bowels and to the matter vomited by the patients. Where these go the poison goes hence sewers and drains receiving them tend to become channels for conveying the dis ease soil fouled by them may, by leading to the pollution of well and other waters as also by aerial emanations, favor it's diffusion and to less extent probably, the bed-linen and personal clothing of the sick may become vehicles of infection. In all essential re- spects the disease appears to spread under much the same conditions as favor the spread of enteric OF typhoid fever, and, like that disease, it has in this country mainly been associated with the use of water supplies, which have been subjected to the risk of re- ceiving the specific infection. What that in lection consists in is not yet known, but judging from analogy it is definite organ ism capable of reproducing it's own kind un- der those conditions of filth which we have adverted to as being associated with the spread of the disease. In the case of an thrax, which causes the so-called wool-sort- ing or famine fever, the microscope has suc- ceeded in showing the organisms which lead to the production of those specific affections; but in the case of cholera no such results have as yet been attained, and this notwith- standing the laborious microscopic and other researches which have been made in India and elsewhere

CONSUMPTION.

it's said that $4,000 people die an
nually in the United States alone from
this disease. In some sections of the
country one death in every three is
from Consumption This can be, and
should he avoided; our people are too
careless about an ordinary cough or
cold, and other symptoms of throat
and lung affections that lead to this
disease. You should arrest it while
it is in the germ. Two or three doses
of DR.. Bosanko's Cough and Lung Syr-
up will relieve an ordinary cough or
cold. 1t does not dry up a cough like
many preparations on the market and
leave the disease behind it, but acts
directly on the throat and bronchial
tubes. removing all the phlegm and
morbid matter that accumulates in
the throat and lungs. 1t allays all ir-
ritation, and renders the voice clear

A WASHINGTON correspondent gives
the case ola Chinaman who has been
for some years in this country. and
not obliged to leave under the late
exclusion act of Congress. He wrote
letter to Secretary Folger, making
the inquiry, if he went to China and
married a wife, could he return to this
country? The Secretary replied, UNI
der the law he could return. but he
could not bring his wife. This Chi
naman has at least one method: he
can join the Mormons, cross the Pa
cifc ocean, convert as many Asiatics
to Mormonism as he pleases, bring
them to the United States and marry
them all.
