1t is only since 1917, however, that ifs
history has been fully and carefully

From this time and place it radiated
in many directions far beyond the con-
fines of India. everywhere creating
terror and devastation, being consid-
cred by the inhabitants as ii new and
fearful plague.
1t soon made its appearance in Bur
nah and Malacca and in Siam and Cey-
Ion. In 1929 ii reached China; in 1922
1928, Persia.
1t travelled west through Russia. Ger
many and reached England in 1851, and
Quebec and New YORK in 1882.
From Quebec it followed the line of
travel by the great lakes TO the military
posts on the upper Mississippi river.
In June, 1885, it again appeared in
New York. and in 1858 it was again in
troduceG into the country through New
Orleans, whence it travelled up the Mis-
sisSippi and across the plaius to Califor-
MIA, severe epidemic having prevailed
in Sacramento.
We have had several epidenics in
this country since then, notably in 1865
and 1872.
Cholera prevailed in France and Italy
in 1888 and 1884. The last severe cpl
demIc III Germany was in 1866, during
TIE German-Au war.

impure water supply IS the primary
cause of Its origin in ASIA. Dirt, ignO-
rance and warm weather are the prlnci-
pal transmitters of the disease. In Mad
ras and Calcutta the writer has seen a
large mortality from cholera among the
poorer classes where unsanitary condi-
tons prevailed. while Immediately
around them Europeans and natives
who observe ordinary precautions in
food and drink were wholly free from
the iseaSe.
Boiling kills all cholera germs, and
hence it is we'll during cholera
epidemic to boil ali water ana milk.
Canned goods are also safe diet at
such times, if used at once on opening.
owing to the boiling that they receive

sterilizes the contents.
While it may he we'll enough to quar-
antlne the low class of emigrants that
have been reaching US from tie in
fected districts i'll Russia and Germany,
or shut them out altogether for a time,
there Is no sense In people being panic
stricken here any more than they have
been in France and Spain, where
the cholera has prevailed more or less
for several years. The visitation is
likely TO be less serious from the fact
that we are just entering the cooler
months OF the year, when cholera germs
naturally are comparatively harmless.
Consumption. dIphtheria and typheid
fever are likely to Stay thousands while
cholera is Staying hundreds. but be-
cause we are familiar with these dis

given to it. No person needs fear the
