him to take advantage of the situation without
supreme effort to right the wrong The fierce de-

Stafford had its Hastings and Prayers" but not
until its citizens had done works for repentance
and then it asked the Divine blessing its
efforts to protect itsef-and its prayers were album
dainty answered.
But there another phase of the Stafford
perlence not less impressive than its escape from
cholera. There great diminution of such dis
eases as diphtheria, typhoid, eryspelas. scarlet
fever measles, and other low forms of Sickness SO
fatal in the homes of the poor
A new era now dawned upon the domestic life of
the English people. Every household learned that
cleanliness had not only saved a town from a vista
ton of cholera but it had banished the contagious
and infectious diseases always present in their
homes. The Health Officer of England gave ire
mendous force to the revelation that had been made
by officially characterizing and classifying cholera
and the whole brood of domestic scourges as Filth
Diseases This was most happy term, because
suggested not only the of these diseases,
but the simple and etfeCtual remedy that every
householder could apply. 1t became popular in the
sanitary literature of the period, and thus per-
meated all classes until the most humble family
knew its import and in a commendable manner
piled with its suggestion
The next visitation OF cholera to England
met by the simple remedy of domestic and civic
cleanliness; and manifestly effeCtual this
that the pestenCe lost its former terrOrs
But the great and lasting gain to the people, which
grew out of the original proclamation of the Prime
Minister that cleanliness of the home and its
roundings the best preventive of cholera
the discovery of the fact that nearly all diseases
which afilict the individual family, and in a larger
sense the whole community, had their origin in or
were intensified by the decomposing waste matter,

his rights. And yet, at this eleventh hour, the
warmth of that passionate embrace had loosened
her from her moorings, and sent her whrling round

1910 to 1860, the people of the United

relation to all questions of improvement OF

titoned the Prime Minister to proclaim a day of
Fasting and Prayer" with many expressions of
sorrow at the prevailing national vices which had
finally provoked the wrath of the Almighty. The
Prime Minister replied in substance as follows:
Do works meet for repentance. First make
your homes and their surroundings clean and
Almighty God o bless your efforts at protection -
against the approaching epidemic wi
This response of the highest official of the 1T
Kingdom to the usual humble and devout II
petition of the clergy when the people were -
threatened with epidemic was received with
profound astonishment by the religious classes,
with ridicule by the of the people, but
with commentator by sanitar1ans. The popu-
lar agitation great The clergy protested
with solemn reservations their belief that
pestilences always indications that nation
al sins had become intolerable to the Al
mighty, and only Hastings and prayers could ap-

The people at large gave no heed either to the
clergy's admoniton to fast and pray, to the
Prime Minister'S advice to clean their homes and
their surroundings; but, with their usual disregard
of the domestic diseases with which they
stantly familiar, gave thought to approaching
danger. But the sanltarlans active in advising

WHEN the net results of this visitation OF cholera
w officially determined by the Registrar
General, one fact attracted wide attention and
created profound and lasting impression on the
minds of the common people. A town in the interior
of England reported no case of cholera, though the
epidemic prevailed with great vruenCe in the
nunltes immediately surrounding.
On inquiry to the of this remarkable
feature of pestilence that hitherto had shown
certain citizens of Stafford deeply impressed
with the reasonableness of the Prime Minister'S sug
gestons and organized and took action accordingly
Volunteer committees composed of the leading
and women were organized. One to secure
thorough cleaning of the streets and public places;
another to inspection of residence
and its surroundings and complete cleanliness
third was to obtain reports of all of sickness
and require immediate isolation and treatment
