A Dreaded Disease.

No other disease excitss SO much
error as Asiatic cholera, yet cholera
infaatum far exceeds it as destroyer
IL human life, The invasions of Ash
attic cholera have always been at long
.nte~yals; the ravages OF cholera in
iautum occur every summer.
In Philadelphia the average mortal-
.ty from all diseases during the most
healthy weeks is about three hundred;
but in 1873 there were in single
week during july over five hundred
ieaths OF children under five years of
lge. In 1876 again, during the hottest
week of July, there were 4SI deaths of
infants under two years Of age, and
matters were even worse in New York.
The connection of this disease with
aigh temperature and the special iia-
oility to it Of bottle-fed infants are uni
sersally admitted. Still, physicians
are not agreed as to its precise nature.
Or. Meinert, OF Dresden, Germany, is
making careful investigation into the
subject, and thinks he has ascertained
he following among other facts;
A high temperature with high wind
is not dangerous, but a moderate tenn
oerature without wind increases the
aumber of cases and the mortality.
Hot days without wind are the worst
In period of uniform high tempera-
, lure there is an increase OF heat in the
dwellings, by accumulation and a cor
responding increase of mortality.
Insufficient ventilation renders the
inside temperature much higher than
The outside, and so invites and
aggrayates the disease, which, for this
reason, prevails in blocks more than in
detached houses Less disease was
found in the underground tenements
and on the upper floors, the first door
taring worst, apparently because of the
heat reflected from the pavement
The greater mortality OF bottle TO

surface the normal temperature OF the
