The Rest Prevemtlves of cholera.


The theory that healthy food in sufi-
cient quantity and filtered water are the
most etficacious preventives of cholera has
received a striking demonstration during
the recent grand manpuvres of the Aus
trian army. A force of over 10000 men was
gathered together in a province of the en-
pire officially declared to be cholera-strick-
en-, and where the scourge is raging with
great virulence among the impoverished
peasantry. Notwithstanding the fact that
the mannuvres extended over a period of
several weeks, during which the men were
exposed to all kinds of hardships, and
were even quartered in cholera-infested
villages, yet there has not been a single
case of cholera among them. In connec-
ton with this, it may be mentioned that
during the last great cholera epidemic in
Egypt there was only one government de-
partment that did not lose a single man
from the malady. As soon as the cholera
broke out the management of the state
railroads Immediately took steps to have
each of its employees supplied with good
and sufficient food, particularly bread and
meat, at government expense, with the re-
suit as indicated. 1t is mainly people
whose digestive organs are impaired, and
rendered representative by inadequate and
unhealthy food or by polluted water, who
are exposed to the danger Of the contagion
of cholera.-NeU York Tribune.

largest iron ore deposits ever discovered in
