    ASIATIC CHOLERA. Tuct res agitur, proximus cum paries ardet. REPORT OP THE EFFECTS OF THE ACID FUMIGATION TRIED IN SCOTLAND, DURING THE PREVALENCE OF THE CHOLERA ; TO WHICH ARE ADDED, DIRECTIONS FOR CONDUCTING THE PROCESS OF FUMIGATION. The Cholera has resumed its march through Europe with unabated malignity, and we have much reason to fear that our country will not be spared. I therefore feel it a duty incumbent upon me, to call attention again to the proceed¬ ings which I instituted, and to the facts which were in con¬ sequence ascertained, five years ago. It must indeed afford every philanthropist infinite satisfaction to know, that ex¬ periments were performed upon such a scale, in such a manner, and with such results, as will convince the most scep¬ tical, that this Pestilence may be promptly counteracted, and for ever extinguished. The experiments were made from the beginning of Janu¬ ary to the end of November 1832. The cities, towns, and villages, or the localities in each, which were the scene of operations, are specified. When not otherwise qualified, fumigation and to fumi¬ gate, here refer to the evolution of the Chlorine Gas ; and all words implying disease, to the Asiatic Cholera.
