Cholera Prospects.
THE Epidemic NOT ApvANCINa-GooDE FFRcTs

From the Medical News

the press dispatches do not indicate its spread
in other countries although it probably exists
in the south OF France, and any day may bring
the news that 1t has again appeared in Paris.
AS yet, there are no indications that 1t has in
vaded Germany or that 1t has appeared in any
emigration comes to this country, and there is,
therefore, good reason to hope that we shall
escape 2 visitation from it thie year. or that, at
worst 1t will only appear at some Of our mari.
Tune quarantine stations.
The course of the present epidemic in Europe
has been exceptional as compared with former
outbreaks For more than year it has fingered
on the shores of the Mediterranean and in the
spanish peninsula, the ftlrthest point north
reached by it having been Paris, where its ef.
facts were comparatively small It does not
appear, however, that the disease is any less
those or smaller Ras beeg
the case in previous epidemics, and the meteor
oiigical conditions Of both the past and the
present summer present no peculiartties which
would explain the comparative. Limitation Of
the disease and its slow spread. All the cir
which the nations of Europe received two
years ago as to the approach Of this disease and
the measures of sanitation which were taken In
or these measures, probably the most import
ant have been those relating to water supply
sna those resulting from the general
10 usually communicated by articles Of food or
drink, and that when only such articles are
the danger is small. If to this be added precau-
lions as to disinfection OF excreta and the
prompt boiling or destroying of soiled clothing
germs OF the disease, there IL no doubt that its
spread may be greatly hindered, IL not entirely
stopped. The sO-called preventive incubation
thus Tar pracficed.
The work Of removing collections OF Nth, do
ing away with suspicious sources of water sup
ply, such ~ wells In large cities etc., has been
greatly stimulated both In England and In this
country by the threatened danger, and we prob
