IT'S ONLY SLEEPING,
AND WILL WAKE UP WITH T1GOhf
NEXT SUMMER.
German Doctors on the Choiera-Ihey Gay
the Disease Will sweep Things Next
Year and Make Rapid Strides.

London, October THE Times, whose
carefully prepared letters on the cholera
epidemic are attracting great attention Ill
Europe and praise from the highest English
and continental physicians, publishes an
article today on the prospects Oh cholera Aoi
this and next year. 1T says
1--WE are already III October and sui INC
epideulio marches steadily WESTWARD
despite the elaborate precautlon ana sup
posed sanitary perfection. Probably . 1lie
general public does not gather clear iuea
of what is happening from glance aC .ile
kilograms announcing the occurrence w. W. :"
few cases in Grodno and Odessa. n 09;s
do not sound more important than tue ula
patches announcing the same condition OF
affairs in Saratof and Baku, all some"ulele
in Russia where the cholera IS an Oh SUI :.
Similarly the death of a few lighter lnen do
Spandau, in Germany, seems a coiipai d
tive trit1e while tidlngs OF the cnolGT1 III q
small way from a dozen places III doll;tha
and Belgium were only to be eApecteu
Even the invasion of Buda Pesth capital
of Hungary, will not attract much atIen-
ton. while it's effects are confined TO lhelr
present moderate dimensions.
VIII Break Out Afresh.
"Au the foregoing will make little I'M
preston beside the news from Hamburg;
Paris, St Petersburg and central ana
southern Russia that the disease Is suDslu-
ing daily. yet they are OF omnouS import
They mean that the cholera IS dong just
what it has always done tOrmerly-crecp-
ing quietly onward and SOWING autuhhal
seeds in new ground over II wide area,
which will burst forth luxuriant with the
advent of summer. 1t IS II most mlsciiie'-
Gus delusion that after September notllmg
more is to be feared for individual towns
and districts which have borne the bruht OF
q severe epidemic. The winter generally
means delivery, but for neighbOrlnS couI-
tries it means only the beginning or trouble
In recent cholera news from abroad 1t
means that seed is being sowed over
vast area in central Europe ready Joe
death harvest in 1898.
What the Reports Mean.
'"Tbe news from Grodno means that west
ern Russia right up to the Russian border
and beyond. is infected. The news from
Odessa means that seed is sown III the
Black sea, Iittoral and Danublan pro-
vinces. The news from Buda Pesth means
that the isolation of Galacla was announcer
failure, and that Austria and Hungary are
involved, while the news from Spandau
means that the waterways from Berlin TO
the river Oder are infected. Scattered
cases of disease in the Netherlands tell the
same tale. If precedent is of any value all
those districts, and also Poland and France,
will break out into blaze in 1893. Cholera
will knock at many doors, and woe Detide
if there is crack anywhere.
Continuing The Times says: Berlin has
very dubious water and can hardly hope to
escape serious trouble. The cholera is
almost certain to be brought to England
again this autumn and is quite certain to
be brought here in 1893, probably both
from the east and west, tmcaninS the bal
tic and Mediterranean We may be able
to exclude the disease as we have done
since 1866 That is our best chance, for
once it obtains Il footing we
will not find ourselves in much
better position than our neighbors. London
good luck tba1 good management"
