Our Vermont authorities have acted
promptly in the matter of preventing the
possible entrance of cholera into the state.
The Canadian frontier is TO be guarded by
the proper inspection of immigrants enter
ing by that route from foreign countries,
and the state board of health has issued a
very good circular of caution and informa-
ton about the disease. This circular says,
as a matter of course, that the situation in
Vermont calls for precaution rather than
alarm. The cholera poison or infection is
in the discharges of the sick, and Is
readily conveyed by means of articles of
food, drink, clothing, etc, which have by
any means become infected. To produce
the disease in well persons the poison must
be conveyed TO the stomach. 1t is much
less likely to affect persons who are in
good health, who are temperate, and who
do not get nervous or worried, Cleanli-
ness is the great safeguard. In the pres
ence of the disease care should be taken
not to touch with unWashed hands any ar
ticle of food or anything else that is to be
put in the mouth. For diarrhea, or any
arrangement of the stomach or bowels,
call physician promptly. In an emergen-
cy, or until a doctor can be reached, this
is given as a safe remedy: Laudanum and
spirits of camphOr, each one OF. tincture
of capsicum and water each two OF. The
dose for an adult is a teaspOonful in water
once il three or four hours.
