Authorities Siv There is No Danger
of an Epidemic Like That of 1928

Berlin, September Forty three
cases of cholera in all have been re-
ported. Nine persons have died from
the disease and many suspicious cases
are under observation. The legal and
medical machinery for dealing with
this invasion of the Asiatic bacillus is
now working at full pressure.
Professor Edward Sonnenburg said

no II need fear an epidemic such as
that of 1929, because the health au-
thOrities since that time had built up
organization quite adequate to grasp
the beginnings of cholera, and TO down
the disease with precision and firm
ness. With the exception of n death
at Hamburg. the cholera is confined to
the West Prussian districts, and every
case of illness in these districts must
be Immediately reported to the au-
thoritieS.
The state has now detained under
medical observation nearly a thousand
persons, including the emigrantS At
BrunShaven.

Of the protestants, he said, was not

TIME liver is the great filtering ap-
paratus of the Authoritative, or
digestive, system. 1t filters the
poison-loaded bile out of the blood.
When the liver lacks active capacity
to do this work, then the bile passes
through into the general circulation
and begins its poisonous work.
Through the circulation of the blood
it is disseminated throughout the body,
gradually sapping the strength, cloud
ing the brain, weighing down the encr-
gos, weakening the hearts action, in
fecting and undermining the system.
Eventually the poison begins to accu-
mulate at the skin, the kidneys, the
bronchial tubes, or the lungs, until ut
last it settles and fastens itself at some
point, which location may be far away
from the liver; yet it is stagnation or
congestion of the liver which is the i'm
mediate cause of the whole trouble.
