PARIS, August 10th.-The cholera is MAX
ing rapid progress through Southern France

of Gignac, near Montpelier, forty cases
have been found, and there have been nu-
merous deaths. The panic there was ter
rible. 1t is believed that in Avignon the
epidemic is worse than reported Four
Avignon have died in Algiers, and an out
break of cholera in Algiers is feared. Some
of the reports of deaths from cholera in
the villages near to Toulon are particularly
heartrending. In some of them more
people died in day than in Toulon. In

MlcrOscopical examinations of the water
drawn from wells and fountains in all
places visited by the cholera, show the
presence of vast colonies of microbes.
PARIS, August 10th.-Fears are now eX-
pressed that MarseilleS has not seen the
worst of the cholera. On Friday the Lyons
doctors continued their former experiments.
They injected into one patient 800 grammes
of solution composed of five grammes of
chlorydine of sodium and fifteen cent?
grammes of carbonate of sodium. dissolved
in 900 grammes of water. The success of
the experiment can hardly be determined,
as the patient subjected to the treatment
was already in the last stage of the disease.

year i'll Marseilles, and that the fact was
kept secret, is pronounced absolutely false.
