New cases of Asiatic cholera are re.
Gently reported in towns of England.
Scotland and Wales. The authorities
are now thoroughly alarmed and are
adopting every precaution possible In
Russia there were nearly 5000 new cases.
a number being reported also in Havre,
Antwerp, Bremen and Amsterdam.
Hamburg authorities claim that the
spread of the scourge in that city is due
to bad drinking water, and say that the
epidemic is now abating Isolated cases
were reported in the city's
suburbs. The approach of the cold
weather may, and probably WILL
retard or prevent the progress Of the dis.
ease in this country this year but the
cold weather does not destroy It's germs.
They remain inactive under the influence
Of frost they are destroyed only by in
tense heat. The warmth OF summer heat
animates and reinvigorates them. The
necessity of the practice of all possible
hygienic and sanitary preventives will
not cease because the dreadful
disease does not appear here
now and may not appear here
during the coming winter. There need
not be any panic but the vigilance of the
people should not be relaxed The chol
era is the most insidious epidemic
known to medical science No amount
Of care should be too onerous to prevent
It's approach.
