stances that the cholera contaSium
which had been lying dormant in tho

| tons and the consequent exposure to
sun rain and other new conditions
become again active. In this very
limited sense the present outbreak
may fairly be regarded as "local
cholera or cholera nostra rather than
cholera newly imported from Asia.
But the history OF the disease in Spain
IS essentially that Of true Asia;ic
cholera.
PROGRESS OF THE DISEASE.
"By June IS it had steadily spread
until out OF 100 cases there had been
twenty deaths. Meanwhile. also, i;
had extended 10 other places near at
hand, notably to Moniichalvo. where
The well known virulenoe " real
cholera showed itself by causing seven
deaths out Of 4 total Of fourteen at

1t should be rem enbered that
some three hundred cases Of cholers,
occurred in that country in 1854, t-e

deaths in the province Of Valencia
alone amounting 20 2I.Gl2. Lastly.
cholera stall prevailed in certain parts
Of Spain during the early months OF
1850. There i thus an interval Of four
years between the former and the
present outbreaks. L is not difficult

two may have remained in Spanish

unsanitary condition OF Valencia.
There are hardly any cesspools in the
city. while The sewers date back TO the
Moorish occupation. The fall Of the
sewers is only three in tie thousand
making it impossible to flush them,
and the soil pipes are Intrapped. Dur
ing the last cholera epidemic houses
continued inhabited, though in many
bedrooms there We're no windows, no
light. no ventilation, and closets were
placed in the middle Of the kitchen
where cooking proceeded. 4 bureau
