In discussing the situation DR.. YOUNG
says: IF a case of cholera should be
found there Will be need of prompt
and rapid work of several kinds.
Among the things that should be
thought of are. Quarantine. the care OF
the sick. the control and care of con-
tants and suspects. disinfeCtion, the
disposal of eXereta. the safe guarding
of water supplies. food supplies and
educational and anti-filth campaign.
An absolute quarantine should be
put upon the house only medical at
tendance and necessary nurses should
be permitted To enter the sick room.
Circumstances would rarely make it
desirable to throw a quarantine around
limited area of a city or d group of
houses but the quarantine of whole
town or the quarantine of town against
town should never be necessary.
THE most awful of the tragedies en-
acted by cholera have been where its
Infection has found its way into pub
lie water supplies. With unpoiluted
water supplies local fight against an
outbreak of cholera should be rapidly
successful The safeguarding of all
water supplies, public or private is
imperatiVely demanded.
