VIGILANCE IN THE METROPOLIS
The New York Board Of Health Looking

The New York Board Of Health Looking
Out for Cholera.
New YoRK, July 2O.-''The utmost vigil
sncc is being observed on the part of the
Bureau Of Contagious Diseases to detect
the slightest indication of cholera"
DR.. Doty, the chief of this division of the
Health Department, made this statement
this morning:
In every case where there appears to be
suspicious Indication of the infection. i'm
mediate and seacrhing inquiry is insti-
tuted, resulting In q meteorological exam
animation Of the case.
The two cases of cholera morbus, Tille
Krael and Coiiano Castro, were not re-
ported to the Health Department, and DIR.
Doty said that the report to the effect that
residents were terrified, apprehending that
the patients were afflicted with cholera,
was erroneous and needlessly alarming.
The fact remains, though, that too much
wAtchfulness On the part of the people of
the tenement district, cannot be observed.
A physician, who has been long connected
with the Bureau. of Contagious Diseases,
stated that he had made a thorough study
of the habits Of the people of the East side,
and he unhesitatingly said that, should
cholora break out In that section of the
city, II would he hard to reckon the extent
Of the disaster which would be sure to
follow
"Ist the disease get hold of the poor
people who reside in that part of New
York, included in Houston street and the
Bowery, down to the Bridge, and the rava-
ges Of the infection would he frightfuln
The physiciRn added, however, that he
city, because of the fact that Health Officer
Jenkins end his aides had too much of
reputation at stake, to become careless,
and ~ thorough wstchfulness was the
means that was very sure to bar the disease
out, that function would not suffer neglect.
