Prepared for the Cholera.

The quarantine authorities In all the ports
of this country are on the lookout for the
dreaded scourge that is causing 50 much
alarm in Europe, and at those ports at
which it is likely to make its appearance on
shipboard ample provision has been made TO
prevent it from gaining Judgment on the
mainland The health officer Of New York
expects that cases of cholera will DO found
on incoming steamers It would be strange,
/ he SAYS, il there should not be. Steamers
are arriving all the time from cholera in
fected ports, aud it would not be surprising
! il it we're reported any day that some one
or IN ore Of them had brought the cholera.
It is n OF impossible TO prevent the disease
fromgetting beyond thequarantine stations.
On more than one occasion it has reached
the quarantine station at New York and
been prevented from going any farther;
and at all the stations the means for hand
ling 1t successfully and stamping It out are
better now than ever before.
1t is important. however, that the great
est vigilance shall be exercised at all the
ports at which vessels from Europe enter.
Carelessness at one port may render vigi-
lance at all the other ports OF little account.
If cholera ever gets into this country it will
be about impossible to prevent it from
spreading. 1t will travel along the water
courses and lines Of railway until It reaches
all the inland cities aud towns.
In 1S48 two ships, one bound for New
York and the other for New Orleans, left
Havre late in the fall. Cholera was raging
at Havre at the time. On each ship the
cholera appeared soon after leaving port.
The one that arrived at New York was de-
tanned at quarantine until all the cholera
patients either died or recovered. The ship
was thoroughly oleansed, the infected beo-
ding was destroyed and all clothing was
thoroughly dsinfected. No person concern
Ing whom there was the least suspicion was
permitted to leave the quarantine station.
The result of these vigorous measures was
that the disease was stamped OUT Not a
case Of cholera occurred in New York from
infection from that ship.
At New Orleans the quarantine regula-
tions were very inefficient When the
cholera infected ship arrived there she was
scarcely detained. She was permitted to
carry the scourge TO the city and it quickly
gained foothold there, and spread along
the Mississippi river and reached the western
cities. 1t was carried TO New York In the
following spring. Before 1t disappeared
from the country it destroyed many thou
sands Of lives.
This one instance shows that the disease
can be held in check at the ports by intel
ligent methods, aud that II it gets into the
country it is likely to spread over every
state. 1t would be about impossible to
quarantine against a cholera infected city
because the means Of communication are
so numerous, and inland quarantine regula-
tons are easily evaded- In these days of
rapid travel few weeks would be sufficient
for the disease TO reach all parts Of the
country. The Importance Of strict quaran
tine at the ports cannot be overestimated.
