OF the possibilities of cholera invading
seaport were open to other means
over which quarantine had no control.
He said that with reference to the cases
reported in New York the only one he
knew anything about was that of Charles
McAvoy, and, as far as he had learned,
McAvoy had not been anywhere in con-
tact with cholera, and it was over year
since he came to this country.
He saw no reason why cholera should
not be effectually slapped out in New
York. DR.. Jenkins, In reply to the
question, said that he did not think the
board of health physicians had made
any mistake in their diagnosis, for they
would not mako any report until after
making ARCHAEOLOGICAL examination.

OF any epidemic averted.
The doctor said he would not be sur

enancy of Caucacus the daily average is

Hamburg show that daily one person in

The epidemic, wherever it exists in
Europe, is practically confined to the
working classes, who are careless in
tnslr eating and drinking and who arc
habitual sufferers from chronic bron-
