Charley Murphy says: "Too much har-

has made close study OF the dictionary,

he meant to say. no doubt, was: TOO

Cholera Morbus.

Cholera morbus' is a term with a
curious history says the London
Chronicle. ITO our forefathers ehol-
era meant not necessarily a disease.
but one of the four 'humors' present
in every human body, as the bilious
humor, excess of which made a man
'choleric.' Cholera and 'choler,' in
fact, meant just the same thing. So
the comparatively mild ailment which
we know as English cholera was re,
ferred to as the disease cholera OF
cholera morbus.' in order to distin
guish it from the other sense of thu
word. Much later, when Asiatic chol
era was introduced to the alarmed
notice Of this country. cholera got
