Captain Willbank,, who recently
arrived in Philadelphia from the
Panama Canal, reports that 5000
laborers have died during the past
three months. Money is plenty"
he says. "There is only one thing
more common than cash, and that
is death. Men die like leaves in
autumn. Only the Italians appear
to live. A shallow grave, no pray
ers, and all is in a moment forgotten.
Fifteen thousand laborers are at
work on the canal, mostly negroes,
who are brought over in droves from
Jamaica and the French West In
dies. In spite OF the frightfully
high death rate,the large pay tempts
men to brave the danger"

During the late meeting of the
State Medical Society at Chatta-
nooga, the question of quacks, ir-
regular prescribing generally, and
patent medicines, naturally met
with Indignation. 1t was not so
much proven, however, that the
people were suffering from irregular
practitioners and patent medicines,
us it was that the regular and di-
plomad doctor was suffering from
marasmus of the contents Of his
pocket book. Thirty-three of the
States had protective laws, Tennes-
see had none. The draft of a bill
was drawn up urging the protection
of the people against quacks. This
may be all right and proper, but
the best of protection lies in the
genius and skill of the regular prac-
titioner.

Florence Nightingale Says the
Cholera is Local and Not
Communicable.
NEW York, July 29.-Florence
Nightingale writes to the Herald
| from Paris thus: I'm reply to your
| note asking for practical advice
in view of the rapid spread of
cholera, we answer that our whole
experience in India, where cholera
is never wholly absent. proves the
disease is not communicable from
one person to another; that the
sick do not manufacture the spec
ial poison which causes the disease;
that cholera is a local disease, an
epidemic affecting localities, and
there depending upon the pollution
of the earth, air and water and
buildings; that the isolation of the
sick cannot stop the disease, nor
can guarantees, nor cordons, nor
anything like them. These, in
deed, tend fatally to aggravate the
disease directly and indirectly, by
turning away our attention from
the only measures which can stop
its advance. The only preventa-
tive is to put the earth, air and
water and buildings in a healthy
state, by seavenging, lime-washing
and every kind of sanitary work,
and if the cholera does come, to
move the people from the place
where the disease has broken out,
and then to cleanse. Persons about
cholera patients do not catch the
disease from the sick any more
than the eases of poisoning infect
others. If number of persons
have been poisoned, say by arsenic
put by mistake into food it is be-
cause they have each swallowed
arsenic"
