A FEW PLAIN WORDS ABOUT thp: cholera. ‘‘ Formidable as this malady is in its intense form and developed “ stage, there is no disease against which it is in our power to take such “ effectual precaution, both as collective communities and private indi- “ viduals, by vigilant attention to it in its first or premonitory stage, “ and by the removal of those agencies, which are known to promote the “ spread of all epidemic disease. Though therefore the issues of events “ are not in our hands, there is ground for hope, and even confidence, in “ the sustained and resolute employment of the means of protection, “ which experience and science have now placed within our reach.” Circular of General Board of Health, Oct. 5, 1848.
