measure. He allowed the City of Augusta
TO pass up, as there was no suspicion at
taohed TO her, but all vessels hereafter from
New York or any other northern port
where the slightest suspicion of the appear
auce OF cholera is reported will have to
undergo fumigation and inspection az the
Quarantine station
The captains Of all the steamers plying
between Savannah and northern ports have
been instructed that in case any sickness,
no matter what its character may be, ap-
pears on the voyage they must report on
arriving at the bar TO the quarantine officer.
DR.. Brandt is determined 10 protect Savan-
nahat all hazards.
THE SANITARY BOARD TO MEET TODAY.
A meeting Of the sanitary board will
probably be held to-day to discuss matters
connected with quarantine growing out of
the epidemic OF cholera abroad and the
probability of the disease getting foothold
in New York.
II any cases are reliably reported there,
or In any other northern port, it is the i'm
preston OF individual members OF the board
that a strict quarantine will be at once ap-
piled, both by land and sea, and the same
care taken Of the city's health as
two years. ago when yellow fever
prevailed at Jacksonville. The city and
national quarantine officers are working In
harmony, and there is no reason to fear that
any loopholes will be left for the disease to
enter.
No extra work ia being done to clean up
the city. Members Of council and other city
officials maintain that Savannah is to-day
the cleanest city Of the south and compares
taYorably with any town in the country,
Lime and other disinfectants will be largely
used II there is any apparent necessity for
1t. Cleanliness is the best safeguard against
disease OF any character, and the duty ia
impressed on every citizen OF keeping bis
own premises in a sanitary condition and
reporting promptly any nuisances that
come under his observation In order that
they may be promptly corrected.
A GREAT CHOLERA MIXTURE.
There is naturally much talk in the CITY
at present about cholera cures and cholera
prevsntives. A number OF remedies have
beeen suggested by persons who have had
some experience With the disease. The ma
jority Of these preparations embrace one or
more or the ingredients Of the famous San
cholera mixture, which did such good sary-
Ice i'll New York many years ago, when
that city had an epidemic Of the disease.
Referring to this famous mixture the editor
Of the New York Journal Of Commerce
says that after seeing IL in con-
slant use FOR forty years he is
able to pronounce It the finest remedy for
bowel troubles ever yet devised. To thishe
adds: 'No one who has this by him and
takes it in time will ever have the cholera /"
The mixture was prescribed by confer
ence of eminent New York physicians. 1t
is as follows:
Take equal parts Of tincture OF cayenne
pepper, tincture Of opium, tincsure of rhu-
barb, essence OF peppermint and spirits of
| camphor. Mix we'll. Dose, fifteen to thirty
drops in little cold water, according to
age and violence of symptoms repeated
every fifteen or twenty minutes until relief
| is obtained "
| 1t will do no hArm il an equal part Of fac
| brandy Is added to the rest In violent
eases OF cholera mofbus OF genuine cholera.
10 is best to prepare two doses, so that IL the
| first Is thrown of the stomach the second
can be given Immediately. Thsre need be
no fear OF collapse when this medicine ia
given promptly.
Dr. J. W. Maddin, a promintnt Nash
vile physician, who mas gone through two
cholera epidemics in that city, says that
precaution is the principal thing. sim
pie diet, he says, is an absolute necessity.
A little rice or hominy, we'll cooked, mel
low potato, bread, ham and coffee. Nc
fruit, no vegetables, no meat. no milk
should be used II milk is used boil 1t we'll.
Everything should be cooked in water that
has been first well boiled. Boiled
water, cooled under clean cover, should be
drank. Cleanliness Of person and sur.
roundings will materially assist in keeping
! of the disease.
