the disease was OF common character,
and that nothing was to be feared from
it. They acted on the wornout theory
that the concealment of the presence Of
disease will prevent its spread.
The number of cases has increased,
The first victim died almost Immediately
after reaching the hospital. Many
physicians hold that post norton ex-
animation would have revealed the fact
that malignant cholera was the cause of
death. Iii is thought that the doctors
were fully aware of the character of
the disease. A total of one-fourth Of
all the patients who have been removed
to the hospitals have died.
The quarantine is now being enforced
with great severity over vessels from
Russian ports, and though they have no
cholera on board, they are detained for
disinfectants.
