    PEEFACE. As puj)il to a Poor Law Surgeon in 1848-9, and as Poor Law Medical Officer of a populous district in 1854 and 18G6, the author has had some experience of Cholera during three visitations of that disease. The following Lecture was deli- vered at Bermondsey on the 12th of October, 1871, with the object of strongly impressing upon the public the importance ■of adopting sanitary measures before Cholera again makes its appearance amongst us, and the necessity of using disinfect- ants in every case of Cholera which may occur. The Precautions against Cholera, issued by the Medical Department of the Privy Council, and The Oxford Minute on Disinfection, are reprinted at the end, with the view of giving the utmost publicity to the valuable suggestions wliich they contain. 108, Granrje-road, Bermondsey, October, 1871.
