editorial referring 10 foreign cholera, and
calling attention TO the increasing fatal
diarrhea, the precursor Of cholera. The
Lancet has obtained official figures fol
the week ending August l, which show
that, taking London and twenty-eight
OF the large English towns, ofwhfch
the aggregate population Is nine mil

rheal diseases the last week OF July

Nevertheless, by comparison Of similar

death Office always returns cholera NOR
