Hippocratos and Colsua scom to have encoun- tored the dizcane, Tho first reporta of it in mod- orn timos date from tho visit of the Portuguess, in thio yenr 1600, to Indin, whoro they found tho cpidemic prevailing. Tho firab rocord of it ad- vance boyond the aven of India datos from 1817. During tho fifteon yoars following this dato, it traverard almost ovory country, vinlling America in1892,'33, and 34, In 1847, it n socond timo left India, renching the United Statos through Europe, in 1849, and continuing to appoar in dif- forent parts of this country, with moro or loss. sovority, in '50, 61, 63, aud ‘64, In'1806 it again extoudod from Iudis, invading Europe, nnd: roaching Amerien in 1866, In 1870 it appenred in Ruesia and in Cuba, In 1871 it provailed in Persin and Gormany,—a fow cases also occurring in London and Paris in Angust of that year. TERRITORTAL BANGE. Theo cholera sooms indigonous to certain woll- dofined portions of India.. Within these limits it provails with moro or less intonsity from yoar toyesr. From timo to timo, it ovorateps theso hounds, and tho cholera~wave advancos mora or less gonerally over the oarth. Somo countries have ns yot boon oxompt from its' inronds : Among theso aro Anstralis, Now Zoaland, and somo portions of tho southorn const of Adrica, aud of South Amorica, Icoland, Bermuda, tho Faroo, Azoro, and other islanda. ORDER AND MODE OF PROGUESS. Tho order of tho progress of the discnso from placo to place is apparontly irrogular and ca- pricious. Tho moroe recont theorios a8 to its do- velopmont, however, tond to reconcile those irrogularitics. It gonorally puraues the line of travel, taking localitios in regular ordor; but thore are many marked excoptions to this rulo. It novor travols fastor than man, and its rato of speod incrences with the facilities of locomo- tion, InIndin it moved 75 miles a week; in crossing the Atlantio it has moved 800 or 400 miles in the same time, It las soyeral timea pursuod the samo courss from Indis through Europe, but the line of its advanco is not always tho same, Sometimes it radintes from the initial points; somotimes it nffects bolts of country, ae doea a storm, 'Tho wind presents no obstacle to its progrosa. It has advanced moro rapidly in tho face of a strong wind, in one direction, than with it in an opposite course. Thoro ia reaton to supposo - that cholora-poi- gon, liko malerinl substances, is occasionally carriod by whirlwinds or by clouds to very great distanced, an illustrated in tho case of ite ocour- ronce among soldiers in an isolated camp imme- dintely aftor n hoavy fall of rain. Tho theory that tho poison was brought by the storm in thia instanco would scom to receive corroboration from the fact that, npon romuyal of the soldiors from this camp, the diseaso ceased, ns if tho eause of it had boon loft on the spot whero it foll, All tho factn, howaever, with vory rare oxcep- tions of thokind just montioned, indicato that tho cholera is catried around the earth from man toman ; that the poison of the disease in tho discharges of ono pationt affoct othors exposed to it under cerlain circumstances ; and that thus the disordor disseminatesiteelf by a sort of leaven- ing power, which continues so long a8 the vital- ity of the poison and the circumstancoes favoring its notion ondure. ] BYNDTOMS, An attack of cholera may ho ensily recognized by these symptoms, mentionedin the general order of their occurrence : Purging, vomiting, and erampe. Tho discharges aro free and pain- Icus, conslating at first of tho ordinary contents of tho stomach and bowals,—sopn, Lowever, assuming tho vory characteristic apjioarance of ricg-wator, Tho cramps occur most fl'oqnont}{ intho extremitios. To theso symptoms succeed, in the worst cascs, what is termed collapuo,—i condition of prostration of the vital powors, necompanied by a peculine shrinking of the body, coldnoss and lvidity of the surface, sod- deu appenrance of tho hands, huskiness of the voice, und intenne thirst. Tho state of collapse involves great duugor. An ovdinary dinrrhenalmost invariably procodes an attack of cholora ; it may continuo sovoral bours or days beforo the incursion of the moro violent symptoms. So ;ionqml is this promoni- tory choleraic diarrhon, thet in ono series of 4,000 cages it was prosent in'zll, Tho duration of the disenso varies greatly with tho character of the epidemic and the sudcepti- bility of the individuul, In India persous aro said oceasionally to fall deed with it ; commonly its duration may bo atated as from threo hours o three daya. ‘The Asiatic cholara cannot long bo confounded with cholorn morbug, ‘The latteris seldom fatul, and s incapablo of begetting its Jike. The chol- ora ia ofton fatal, and, under cortain conditions, ono case may produco othors, NOT CONTAGIOUS, It ina quostion of tho greatest Ymportanco whother clholera is contagious. It is not con- tagious av is small-pox or searlot-fover, Tts lnw .of trongmission is corteinly different from that of such discases. A fow facts will sorvo to eatal)- Lish this position, though in theso s not embod- icd all the considorations which have led the grent majority of the profussion to the opmion ahovo oxpressod. Eight hundred and sixty pationta sick with -other diseasos woro in o hospital at Dloscow, «during the timo in which 680 porsons were siclk with cholera thoro, Tho hospital consisted of threo ptories, communicating by stairs placed within tho wards. Not oneof the former cineg of pationts becamo nffected with the digenso, alibough thoy hnd the emmo attendants as tho cholora siol. Of theso altendants, 123 in numbor, many of whom wero employed in washing tho clothes of both classes of pa~ tients, two only were affected with cholera, both of whot woro disposed to tho disease by vory lrrogular conduct, Inthe cholera hospital in Ediuburgh thore wore 280 hodies examined, 'Two, andsomotimos throe, hours wore spent over eacli, U'he room i which thoso dissections woro made wng o misor- ablo place, 8 feet square; usually, six or oight rurnonu were prosont, sometimes more; and, nan inner ppartment, about 10 foat _squaro, thore Iay gonerally slx dead bodies, None of thoso who frequentod this den of death, and who bad thoir hands imbrued in the secrotions of tho dead for #ix hours out of twenty-four, woro affceted with cholora, although their hands wore rritatod and punctured duily. 4 fia:lno attompts to inoculato tho cholera have niled.

INPEOTIOUA, ; Rolying upon evidoucs of thin kind, many deny that tho dirensie it in an ymanner communionblo, But probubilitios nro agalnut this opinion ; tho existonco of u cholora-poison in the oxcrota of pationts has heon established, thmxi(h tho natura of it 18 yot unknown.

Tho causo of cholorn i belioved to bo a pocu- liar polson, 'Who nnture of this virus s un- known, By somo it is rogarded as o_subtle, in- tangiblo cssence or emanation ; by tho mnjnruly of writors, it lu thought to be a living gorm-coli, Binco 1838, microscopints, at cnch visitation of tho disenso in Europe, have ciaimed to have dis- covored this gorm. But tho commission of microgcopists dotailod Ly the British Govorn- mont to investigato, In Indis, the olaima of theso diacovorers, have recently reportod advorsoly to them, and have declared that thoy have not boon ablo to doteot In tho ojeota of cholorn- pationts any gorm-colls avhich can be considored | ;poculine or chnractoriatio, Whilo, theroforo, absorvation of tho discase tonds moro and moro to confirm the theory of organio germs ns its causo, microsoopy hinnas yobt failod to dotoct thom. 'Whe cholera-polson, whatovor ity oxuct naturo, is snpposcd to bo_presont in the dojoc~ tions of tho pationt, and lo bo capablo, undor cortain clrcumatances snd in cortain minuons, of grontly multiplying itself, and of producing cholora in poraons coming undor ite influenco, 1t is thought to contamingto nir and water, and to rotain its powor in_n driod state s cholorn- dunt, Itis supposed to onter the systom from tho nir through tho lungs, or from water or othor ingosta through tho stomncl. : Exnmplcs of thoe nction of thia poleon, thus emanating from pntients, and s lenven, in fa- voring circumsiances, multiplying itsolf indefl- nitely, may bo found in those facta: A ship, “nftor o long voyago, -with n hoalthy crow, onchorod a fow miles from a port whero tho chelora provailod, Ina faw hours, and boforo auy communication had beon Lad with the shore, canes ocourrod on board, An army neconding the Ganges in barges was attncked with cholorn, without communioating with the laud, whon opposite the places whoro it provailed. Upon passing thoae points, tho din- enso consod {0 occur, A sacond lody of mon following the firat had & liko experienco, A sudden, sovoro, and concontrated ntinck of cholorn, lasting only n fow days, occurrodin Soho district, London. It wns soon ohsorved thatthe victims woro persons supplied with wator from n cortain well, ~ A lady, residing ot somo distance, artinl to this wator, ad n supply brought to hor nily ; a friond in Lor houso, and a sorvant, algo, nised the water ; both ladies died of cholera, on tho third day aftor {ts outbrenk at Soho. Tho soryant -was nttacked with diarrhon. A committeo of an Tpidemiological Soclety, appointed to invostignto .tho mattor, were unahimously of tho opinion that tho epldomic wos In somo way connocted with the ueo of thiswator, Upon oxamination, a lonlky gowor wag found to communicato with Lho woll. Soven hundrod ocoupants of & public institu- tion in Bt. Goeorga's Parish, Evgland, wore ox- ompt from cholers, though it was provalont in, tho district, and numorous cages oceurred on tho adjacont streots, Tho institution was provided with an artosinn well. Tho parieh was supplied with filthy water. THE PREDISPOSING OAURES, T prosonco of & poison, of & special catso of tho disoase, in the discharges, as above statod, docs not alono account for nll tho facts relating to ita sprend as nn opidomic. Cauos of cholera, and this poigon of courso, have agnin and agnin been carriod inte o nelghiborhood without an ox- tonsion of the malady. Forty thousand porsons flod from Morcow, many without performing narantine, and no instance is recorded of the 3!!0590 having been carried oleewhers by thom. Tor tho opidomio dovolopmont of tho scourgo, some favoring locnl conditions aro nocossary, nd theso facts demonstrato. In several justauces, half of n city Lns boon & proy to the epidemic, while, on thes othor side of tho dividing line, no cases occurred, The disegso has disappearod from an army upon romoving tho camp a fow miles, and from a nrulntlon osorting infoctod districts. 2 th, espocinlly whon subjocted to » fompora- ture ga high as 50 dogroes, and impuro wator, havo so conatantly beon coincident with opidomio cholora, that they sre almost univorsally recog- nized a8 the favoring looal conditions roferred Lo above. 1t is stated of tho last opidomic m Eu- ropo that its malignancy was in exact ratio with tho presonce of filth, tho nogloct of cleanli- nese, and ovororowdiog. According to soma writers, the elomont ad- ditional to tho cholera-virus, nocessary for the dovolopumont of the disonso, s o looso, porons, moist woil, holding wator s ita surfaco, and impregnated with deeaying organic mattors, o~ poctally with tho secpings from coxs-paols. Tho privy is regarded by some a8 tho main source of infoction; in fact, it scoms to bo ostablished that a vary frequont sourco of the disense is tho infootion of wator-closots. Mr. Moyor atatos that, in an opidomioc in a small town, ho was ablo to trace almost avur{ caga to contamination from privios into which the dischiargos of cholora~pn- tionts, or of thoso attocted with choleraio diarthen, hed heon deposited. 2 Imperfactly-trapped sowers and drains, by fill- ing tho air of tho strocts_and houses with poi- souous eflluvia, nre regurded as a fertilo source of tha disoasa. The babit, quito common in some country- districts, of throwing the discharges on tho soll, whence {t may taint the air or contaminato wolls, is most daugorous. The practice, in the poorer country-housos, of allowing the dejections to 1all upon the fidor, that they may bo swept out of tho door, is probably anc of the causos of iho oxtraordinary virulouco of the epidemic in sowo country-settioments. ‘I'he occurroncs of tho discago in Russin dur- ing tho wintor i not rogarded s contravening ho thoory that o rolatively-high tomporaturo iy nacessary for tho dovelopment of the diseaso. The habitations of tho Russions prosent every elemont rogarded as essential to the oxistenco of n cholera-opidomic, Yheir tomperature in kopt vory high, cleanliness ia disregardod, and over- crowding is oxcessive. The accounts concerning the intluence of weather upon the continuance or character of an opidomic are conflicting and confusing. No posi- tive facts rogardiug il relation ot metoorologi- cnl conditions to tho dioase can be snid to have Leen ancertainod. 2MODE OF APPROACH—FACTS CONOERNING AN EPI- DEMIO, The cliolera nsunlly invades a locality gradual- 1y, cascs alowly mulhplyl'x;fi till thoy becomo nu- morous ; bus it may bo fully doveloped in a fow hours, In the Massachueotts Btato Prison it first attacked a prisoner in solitary confinement ; in the courso of au hour, four others in differont parts of the inclosuro were taken, and iu forty~ eight hours 205 cnses had ceurred. *The cliol- ora has soveral timos boen procoded in ila marel by tho intluenza, and by opidemics among animale; and n tendoney to diarrlies is some- timos noticod weeks or months boforo its ap- pearance.
