strated beyond a doubt" says DIR.
Marks, that cholera germs can not
live in the stomach of a person who
takes few drops of diluted muriatic
acid three or four times a day, and l
count this an effectual preventive of
the cholera. am of the opinion that
cholera is caused chiefly by the food wo
eat, and if a rigid ins, ection of the city
markets were made every day it would
be more beneficial than all the other
sanitary measures mbined. All stale
