REPORTS of the ravages Of cholera in
various towns in Italy show, in the past
four hours, 14O new cases and 45
deaths. A veritable panic prevails in
some districts infested by the cholera. In
many instances physicians attempting to
administer to cholera patients have been
brutally maltreated. The persons making
the assaults labor under the delusion that
the doctors are engaged in poisoning the
people.
