Cholera, tho lnosl universally lsur.

ed and most fatal Of all srourges
has broken the bounds of its usna
place of origin, Asia. and passing
over Europe, where it has killet
thousands and thousands are still
stricken and dying, has at las
reached our own shores, and while
every effort is being made by the
seaport towns to keep it out, it ii
doubtful if it can be done. There
is no call for the REGISTER to por
tray the possible horrors OF the
plague, that is understood by every
body. Its simple duty is to urge
upon every community, every fami-
ly and every individual to take the
fullest precaution against it's com
ing. Public health bodies should
stretch their authority and resources
to the fullest extent to secure the
best possible sanitary condition,
heads of families should be most
diligent in securing thorough clean
illness about the home, and every
person should exercise extreme care
and prudence in putting himself in
his strongest physical condition.
Boards of health are supposed to
know the approved methods of max
ing the most effective provisions
against the spread of an epidemic
so there is no need to tender them
advice, but to the family and to the
individual some suggestions may be
valuable, and we give few OF the
most effective.
Do not allow any bad drainage
foul vaults or accumulation of garb
age on the premises.
Eat no raw food, and cook every
thing thoroughly, the more thor
eughly the better, and eat very
soon after cooked.
Boil water and milk before drink
ling.
/ Do not eat OF drink to excess ano
avoid every article that tends Il
loosen the bowels.
| Cleanliness is the first considera
ton, SO above all be clearly in per
son, in food, and in sleeping rooms
and have plenty of ventilation al
ways.
