Auo,her noticeable feature of the
press at visitation has been the simulta-
neons and sudden appearance of the
msiaday in all parts of the city of Mar

at AK, Grenoble and other towns in
Southern France, bat the epidsmic 80
far has not been kindled there nor have
any persons been attacked except such
az broaght the oontaoion from this CITY
or Ioulon. The enormous emigration
which has occurred since the outbreak
three weeks ago Is estimated ON good
authority ut 100000 persons from Mar
settles and $1,000 from Toulon, and in
the distribution of this vast contingent
throughout France, Italy, Switzerland
and the Netherland, IL is noteworthy
and encouraging that no indicated case
OF cholera has occurred among this ar.
my OF fugitives at any point north of
Grenoble. Although u great number of
Italian working people left the two
stricken cities for Northern Italy during
the early days of the epidemic, the dis
ease has not apparently been carried
with them, or il it has, it has not vet
been developed.
Nothing in all the dispute concerning
the origin or cure of the disease has
added any effectiveness to the means
hitherto known for treating choleraic
patients, and the proportion of deaths
to cases appears to increase rather taau
diminish. A momentary CLEAN of hope
Was diffused by the announcement that
patients had been rescued at n certain
stage of the malady at hospital in
foaion by the inhalation of oxygen,
but this encouragement has been cloud
cd by the discovery that the effect of
this powerful stimulaut was but tenn
porary, aud that patients thus treated
died in the same ratio as those treated
by other methods.
