CHOLERA RUMOR.S.

The renorts of the continued spread in Spain
of disease resembling Asatic cholera, while
alarming. are not to be accepted as conclusive
so far as the character OF the contagon is con-
cernod The Government has announced in
the Senate that the disease has not yet been
po,itivcy identified with the ASiatc type Of
cholera and it is evident from such mcagrc
details as have been telegraphcd that local
conditions have had much 10 do with the out
break of the disorder. The earliest cases were
reported in a town where n street had been
recently opened and whore the sanitary con-
ditions were exceptionally bad. II is probable
that the disorder can be restricted % the local
iticS where it has appeared, and that il is not
the Asatic type Nevertheless, Valencia, the
province in which the outbreak has occurred,
lies on the Mediterranean Coast in the vicinity
of African centres of cholera. ASiatic cholera
ordinarily is traced u India whence it is car
ried by religious pilcrimaceS and trading cara
vans to Persia, Arabia Egypt and the north
west coast Of Africa. The germs of the dis
ease may have been taken by soldiers or sailors
into Spain from TangicrS; but it is more prob
able that the disease at Pucbla de Rugat is
sporadic and induced by bad sanitation.
The Spanish authorities have had recourse
to old-time cordonS and quarantine regulation,
| for preventing the spread of the infection
Medical writer's have never been able to agree
upon the utility of such measures in arrestnG
the progress of genuine Asiatic cholera, differ
ences of opinion arising from diverse opinions
respecting the nature, origin and even the con
tagiousness of the disease. The miasmatiC
character of cholera, however, is generally
recognized, and there is no reason to doub
that the development of the disease is largely
dependent upon local conditions. Spanish
towns are known TO be among the dirtiest il
Europe, and especially in the Mediterranean
provinces sanitary science is in most back
ward state. Cholera experts generally unite
in declaring that medical treatment of the
disease should be mainly preventive. There il
| no other quarter of Europe where sanitation

never did ANYTHING Of the sort except in your
