[San Francisco Choniclel
After the cholera left the Indies in ISL it
was fifteen jeaiS in completing the tour of
America IN 1917 it it took two years to pass
over the same route and in 1864 it was about
the same length of time in making the same
circuit Its last visit, which was fortunately
not made until after the rebellion, was ess
fatal than either of the others. In st Loui,
aud other southern cities it resulted in few
deaths, while in Cincinnati the daily death
rate during its prevalence did not exceed
forty or fifty and was generally less. Cmcln-
natl then bad population not much exceed
n.s ?Oo,OJJ and tn" deaths were almost inva-
rinhly among the poor, who could not very
well regulate their diet, or who were too
reckless to care about preventive meas
urcs. There were no cases in the cities on
tia" lakes or the smaller towns of the north

II i mentioned rs "A curiOu, instance of the
freaks of the disease that while it was pre-
vailmg viruently in 1850 at Acapulco, the
steamer bound for San Francisco was delayed
there, and, Though crew aud passengers were
almost constantly ON shore, no case occurred
ON ehiphoard nor was the infection brought
to this city The localities in the United
States that suffered most have been the hot
and fertile regions of the south and west. 1t
is believed that no case of it has been known
in New England outside of Boston, which has
h,td few cases, nor in the elevated districts
of New York and Pennsylvania Some
ncighborhoods in Kentucky, not far from
Cincinnati were almost depupulatcd in 1850,
aud it. is n rather remarkable fact that they
were in limestone region, where t.. water
being hard. ciatern water was largely used
