currence, and our cohutry can not hops TO
escsre the dread scouree But we can ward
off its seyeIest ravages By Immediately
placing every city, town and hamlet in the
best possible sanitary condition.
No time should be lost in doing this, and
our Boards Of Health ought everywhere to
take hold of the matter actively and see that
needed preparations are made for the visit
OF cholera. The streets and alleys in all the
cities are in a most filthy condition.
TIE gsrbsgs accumulated during the
long months of cold weather

and often in the streets of Indianapolis,

Why it is tina. orr people are so indifer-

incomprehehsibls things so often met with
in the face OF greatest dangers TO human
life. That we are TO be visited by
the chol.-e, which has bean such
a plague in the eastern hemisphere,
is generally believed by the people.

The authorities, therefore, should act ct

possible in having yards, alleys and streets
Z cleaned, and in taking such other steps as
are needed TO ward off disease. This is the
LIST of April. Let the sanitary work be pros
