HOW TO FIGHT THE PLAGUE. Cities That Have Made Themselves Cholera- Proof— Millions of Lives Saved From Other Diseases as Well as Cholera—Some Inter- esting Facts About the Spread of Cholera. ae Dr. Wm. H. Welch of Jonns Hopkins Univer- sity bad an interested audience last night at the Columbian University lecture hall. He lectured at the invitation of the Sanitary Leagee, and his subject was “Asiatic Cholera in Its Relations to Sanitary Reforms.” He {and mode of spread of this cause some kn: larly well certain principles concerning mou modes of infection,and meazures of prevention can be much more intelligently and generally carried out with a knowledge of these Principies. As has already beon intimated measures which are useful in preventing the invasion and propagation of cholera are also applicable to spveral other diseases, particu- iy typhoid fever. have been and still are conflicting views as to some points in the causation of cholera. I shail endeavor to present views which seem to me correct and which I believe | to have the test weight of suthority and to be most widely accepted by competent in- vestigators. As to many points there is sub- ; Stantial unanimity of opinion. Asiatic cholera is one of the infectious diseases. By an infec- tious disease is meant one which is produced by @ specific microorganism in the body. Most of” the distase-ycotusing. miore-orgns: isms with which we are acquainted are bacteria. | But there are infectious disoases—for example, | malaria and a form of dysentery—which are | cansed by micro-organisms which are not bac- | teria, gave, in s popular way, « clear idea of how cholera spread, and showed how false were many popular delusions respecting the disease. The whole address was in effect a plea for sanitary reform and showed how sanitary improvements, such as were undertaken to ward off cholera, were ap- plicable as well to other maindies, and re- sults in great good, besides securing possible mmunity from cholera. At the close the lec- turer was heartily applauded. Dr. Welch was introduced by Dr. J. S. Billings, whose guest he was while in the city Since the appearance of Asiatic cholera in Europe last summer, the lecturer said, and especially since its arrival in the harbor of New York last autumn, an unusual degree of inter- jest in sanitary matters has becn awakened | throughout the country. ‘This is mainly due to | the widesprend popalar apprehension lest this | most dreaded of epidemic diseases should gain | «foothold in this country during the coming summer and autumn. Unwonted attention is given to public health administration. ‘The ational government provides additional legis- lation regarding quarantine. There isa gen- eral ery for cleaner streets, removal of public nuisances and more jent sanitary inspec- tion. The character of the water supply is scrutinized. Measures, often more vigorous than wise, are taken to remedy sanitary defects of long growth. Hospitals for infectious dis- eases and modern disinfecting plants are de- | manded. Committees and conferences of zeus of varions civic organizations are formed. Magazines and newspepers are lending their efficiently, toward the educn- tion of the public and measures for widespread | sanitation. and the public is readier to than at ordinary times. | However near or remote one may consider » visitation of cholera, whether or not one may pptove of much which is written on this sub- | at present and of some of the measures | urged for the prevention of this discase, any oue interested in sanitary improvements mu: welcome the increased attention given to th subject and the larger opportunity to secure some permanent additions to our sanitary re- sources. This feeling may be tempered by the | fear that excitement and sudden emergencies may lead to hasty and inconsiderate measures and foolish expenditure of money, but this makes it all the more desirable to take ad tage of the opportunity and to try to direct thought and action into the right channels. GooD THAT MAY BE DONE. In this way sureiv some good can be done. | Knowledge of the simpler principles of hygiene can be more widely diffused among the people. The sanitary sense. even of the more enlight- ened, can be further cultivated. The active interest and co-operation of the public-spirited | citizens can be secured. Sanitary defects can | be brought into clearer light and to some ex-| tent remedied. Public health administration can be aided and improved. Possibly = hos- pital for infectious diseases, a public disin- | fecting establishment, even some important work in municipal ‘engineering, improved methods of registration of vital statistics or better sanitary legislation may be secured. The Sanitary League of Washington, by [howe invitation I wppear here this evening, has been recently called into existence with aims and purposes such as these and which have been fully and admirably put before the | public by Dr. Billings in his address in this place a few weeks ago. If I mistake not, the origin of the league can be traced to infiuences | springing from the popular apprehension of | the invasion of cholera into this country. ‘The organizers of this movement wisely determined | to make the best use in thei: power of the in- | creased interest in sanitary matters. They | were doubtless influenced at least quite as much , by the belief that what the leagne sims to accomplish is good at all times us by cial urgency in the situation. but it may be doubted whether this organization would hav been formed just at this time if not for the con- ditions which have been mentioned. j CHOLERA AND SANITATION. The present occasion seems to me, there- fore, an appropriate one to speak of certain | | matters relating to the history and causation | of Asiatic cholera which have a direct bearing | upon sanitation. Some knowiedge of the nature and modes of distribution of infectior diseases must be useful to those interested in | questions of public health, and although each infectious disease presents its own peculiar problems there is rone which can teach more umportant and helpful lessons in sanitation | than cholera. The sixty-two years which have | passed since the first appearance of Asiatic cholera in western Europe have witnessed the | most important developments of modern | hygiene. It is interesting to note to what | extent the sanitary work and sanitary science | have been influenced by the occurrence and | study of this disease. It was under the direct impressions of the | t terrible visitation of cholera that, in Eng- nd, the office of registrar general was estab- lished and William Farr was appointed to fill it. | We owe to this Office and to the work of this | | man the application’ of statistics to public { health. As has beon said by an English writer: “It is impossible for any nation or for any gov- ernment to remain indifferent when in figures which admit of no denial the national anount of health or happiness or disease and suffering is determined.” The establishment of the | registrar general's office, in 1838, and the com- | mencement of the system of accurately re- cording births and deaths will hereafter be | to be, as far ax the happiness of the peo- concerned, oue of the most important | events of our time. We owe a nation’s specially to him to whose sagaci fruits of the inquiry are due, to William Fa: A. decisive part in the development of the doctrine that certain infectious diseases are propaguted chiefly through the ageney of im- pure drinking water and contaminated soil is traceable to the investigation concerning the mode of spread of cholera. The celebrated in- | stance of the Broad street pump in,London in 1804 furmshed conclusive evidence that the cholera poison may be conveyed by the drink- ing water. A distinguished modern hygienist, Carl Frankel, has said, “Tae Broad street | pump bas played not only a decisive role in the cholera question, but it has also furnished the most important impulse for the development of & new era in the department of public hygiene. That pioneer and master of modern hygien fer, bases toa large extent, his views as to the agency of contaminated soil the spread of certain infectious diseases | pon forty years’ study of the relation of the | soil to the distribution of cholera, IT HAS SAVED AS WELL AS DESTROYED. holera has destroyed millions of human but it has been the means of saving ons more. It has been one of the great levers in the progress of sanitation. The juired to protect pidemies of cholera times to protect it against other eases, such as typhoid fever, | which, although they do not come with the ter rible impetuosity of cholera, steadily do their deadly work and in the course of time destroy far more lives than cholera. But it has often happened that governments and people are not aroused by these common but preventable causes of death to undertake sanitary works, the necessity for which is evident enough to sani- | tarians. Unfortunately they seem to have re- quired the violent impressions made by an out- burst of cholera to stir them to undertake I | needed sanitary improvements, Witness at this moment Hamburg, Naplos and Marseilles, which | are spending millions of dollars for improved water supply, for better sewage disposal, for destruction of unsanitary quarters of the ci Bat think of the thousands of lives destroy | the panic, the commercial de; m, the un- told misery through which these cities have passed before the warning was heeded. But if nothing else could bring about these san- | itary reforms that would have saved a visita- | tion of cholera who will say in view of the many more lives which will be saved than were | carried off by the cholera that this visitation wag not a blessing? HOW THE DISEASE sPReaps. I have said perhaps enough to show that cholera has hada considerable influence upon the historical development of modern sanitary science and art, I wish now to direct your attention to some points concerning the nature | process of drs | germs of cholera cannot | With whica those seized by chy | fact that m: | tainty of success. “In A WORD ABOUT BACTERIA. | Permit me at this point to digress for a mo- | ment tosay a word in behalf of the much- abused bacteria. There is so rarely occasion in popular articles and addresses to say any- thing about bacteria except as causes of dreadful disease that these microscopic forms of life are regarded with no other feelings than th&se of hostility and dread. Now, as a matter of fact there are marty more harmless and useful and friendly species of bacteria than there are poisonous ones. These simplest forms of vegetable life play a stupendous part in the economy of life. All life would cease upon this globe wore it not for the agency of bacteria in breaking up highly organized sub- stances and preparing food for the higher plants. As agents of fermentation they and allied organisms are the servants of man, but sometimes his master. Many kinds of bacter: re messinates within our bodies, where there is reason to believe that some terve a useful pur- pose. We take in with our drink, food and air | millions of bacteria and they do no harm. is about as reasonable to entertain host against all bacteria because some are poisonous | as it would be to cherish the same feeling | against the bigher members of the vegetable kingdom because some of those are poisonous. ‘THE CHOLERA BACILLUS. The species of bacterium which is now known to be specific cause of Asiatic cholera is usually called the comma bacillus of Koch, from | is shapeand the name ofits discoverer. Tt does not seem to me either necessary or desirable on this occasion to give a detailed decer the characters of this orgs nism, although these have been most carefully studied. ‘There are, however, certain properties of this germ which | of the Daughters of the Revolution. From | bear so directly upon the understanding of the | mode of spread of cholera that it seems proper | to refer to some of them here. | One of the most importqut of these proper- ties is that the cholera germ is killed by com- plete drying. From this property we have a| Tight to conclude that cholera 18 not conveyed | | by the air. that we cannot contract this disease under any ordinary circumstances by taking the germs in with the air which we breathe. Eacteria float in the air with particles of dust only when they have been completely desi cated. Currents of air are incapable of lifting bacteria from moist «urfaces, hence there ¢: be conveyed by the atmosphere only tho fectious di: es whose germs withsiaud the ing. ‘The inference that the be disseminated through the atmosphere is s observations of the mode of distrib: disease and is manifestly a matter of g: portance xs regards the care and preve cases of cholera.

The inkumani lera are vom times treated by the public is based upon groundless ideas as to the real sources of danger. | MUST BE SWALLOWED. | The cholera germs must be taken in by the | mouth and swallowed to produce the human beings.

One of the best disinfectants is the milk of lime or quick lime dissolved in water. | Under any sort of decent conditions of living cholera is not considered a contagions disonse in the same sense that emallpox ix, Nevertheless | in crowded tenement houses the disease spreads rapidiy, as if by contact. Whilo the disease is not generally contracted directly from the , Yet human intercourse was required to it, and from any given case of cholera it couid be traced throngi a complete chain of human beings back to Bengal, the home of cholera. Dr. Welch, speaking of the infection of a locality, said it depended in the first place upon the entrance of the cholera bacilli into | the soil. Of the modia for spreading the dis ease the most important unquestionably was the drinking water. There is nothing better established in the etiology of cholera than that epidemic can be produced by the drinking water. Hamburg will, be asserted, become known as a classical’ instance of a drinking | water epidemics. He spoke of one street that passe between Hamburg and Altona. | 1 Altona filtered water was used. In Hamburg the water of the Elbe is drunk. | On the Hamburg side not a house escaped the cholera. On the Altona side nota case oc- curred. The so-called explosive outbreaks of | cholera, he thougitt. could generally be traced | to infections of drinking water. The possibil- | ity of the conveyance of the disease by flies and insects, he said, was not_a mere specula- tion. It was a demonstrated fact. This was an | important fact. However strictly cases might | be quarantined it was not impossible that the | disease might be carried to the near shore by flies or other insects, CHOLERA-PROOF CITIES. It was, he said, an interesting fact that chol- era may be brought time and again toa place and not spread, and again there might be a frightful epidemic. These, he said, are the so- called predisposition of time and place. ‘here were, in fact, immun> cities—cities that by their nature were unsuscoptible to choler places to which the people from cholera-stricken | districts fled for safety. The city of Lyons, France, is such a piace. ‘There has never been an epidemic in Lyons. Recent experiences have shown that places once susceptible have been rendered unsusceptible. ‘That, he said, was one of the most important lessons. A city can, make | iteelt ete gaO* com letely almost completel; ra proof, iB ber thom a senna tee To produce a cholera epidemic there must be | achain of several links. The must be there, the individual must be susceptible and special local conditions must exist. In consid- ering preventative measures Dr. Welch said it was to lay the chicf emphasis upon means of fighting the bacteria. Others lay stross u) other measures. He suggested that it was the part of wisdom to attack all the links of the chain. If we could break a single one of the links the whole would fall, but it is not in our Power to attack any one with absolute cer- regard to the matter of quarantine he thought it unwise to do away with it as some European gov- erninents have.

How It is Proposed to Secure Money for IT 18 TO BE MADE FROM ARTICLES OF HISTORIC VALUE—THE COMMITTEE OF ~.ADIES THAT ARE INTERESTED IN THE MATTER IN THIS cITY— THE SCHOOL CHILDREN TO BE INTERESTED. “There's a legend told of a far-off land’— ‘The iand of a King—where the people planned Fo build ther « bell that never should ring ‘But to tell of the death, or the birth, of a king, OF proclaim an event, with its swinging slow, That could startls the nation to joy oF woe. “Tt was not to be builded—this bell that they fanned Of common ore dag from the breast of the land, Butof metal fost molded by skill of all arte Built of th astires of fond human hearts.

At present alll over this broad land contribu- tions of macerial and money are rolling to- of easting another “liberty bell,” which in fu- ture years shall on ‘important occasions again ‘ring out to all hearers the tid- ings that liberty still exists and that | the descendants of the founders of the republic | take glory and pride in the great events which have marked the existence of the nation. The tion of | idea of this bell to be cast in the Columbian | year originated with Wm. 0. McDowell, who was the founder of the societies of the Sons and. Mr. MeDowell the plan took rapid shape and committees in all the states sprang into ex tence and the work of collecting money and historical relics which wonld add to the value of the bell was carried on vigorously. PROPOSED USE OF THE BELL, The following is the proposed use of the bell: It shall ring at sunrise and sunset: at 9 o'clock in the morning on the anniversaries of the | days on which great events have occurred marking the world’s progress toward libert: at 12 o'clock on the birthdays of the “creator of liberty,” and at 4 o'clock it will toll on ‘the anniversaries of death. By this means the bell will keep con- tinually in the minds of those within reach of its sound the memories of the men and women who have led in the work for liberty and peace, ud the anniversaries of the great events re- sulting from their efforts, The bell is to be cast by the Meneely Bell Company of Troy, N. ¥.,and is to be a fac simile of the original liberty bell. ‘THE GENERAL PLAN. The general plan for the bell is that it be placed in the most appropriate place in the coming world’s exhibition at Chicago. After the close of the exhibition the bell will pass ce to place throughout the world asa of freedom, coming first to the capital of the nation. ‘hen it will go to Bunker Hill or Liberty | Island, to the battietield of New Orleans (1812), m Francisco, to the place where ai great patriotic celebration is being held, un’ 00, when it will be sent to the next world’s xhibitiou, which takes place at Paris, France. ‘There it will continue until that exposition closes. When notin use in other places it will re- turn to Washington under the care of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Wash- igton will bo its home. and from there it will journey from place to place, fulfilling its mis. son throughout the world. The historical contributions everywhere have been of the most interesting character and the memories which will hang around the bell when completed will be varied and inspiring. COLLECTING CONTRIBUTIONS HERE. In this city the work of collecting contribu- tions and relies has been in the hands of a committee of ladies, consisting of Mrs. Madi- son Adams Ballinger, chairman; Mrs. Pillinger, Miss Lipscomb, Miss Pike, Mrs.” Stocking, Mary Desha, Mrs. Calieghen, Miss Mayo, Miss Hetzel, Madame Romero, Mrs. Hallowell, Miss Hallowell and Miss White. This committee has and is still doing a large amount of earnest work in the effort to make the contribution from the District a credit to the nation’s capital. The plan looks to contributions of articles or filings from articles of historical value and of coins of copper,silver or gold which could be melted into | the bell, and also small contributions of money for the expenses of manufacture. The idea to have small contzibutions from a large num- ber of people rather than large sums from a few. The bell is to be national and not the work of a few. Many hundred pennies hat been contributed in this city by churches, soci ties and individuals, and also some valuable istorical material, all of which will form e por- | tion of the bell. TO INTEREST THE SCHOOL CHILDREX. In order to include in the ownership of the bell the school children of the city, and who | can be more interested in keeping alive patriot- ism than the youth of the land? the committee have been desirious to take up penny contribu- tions in the public schools. From some reason the trustees far “have refused the necessary permission for this, although the committee are continuing their efforts to have the schools of this city included, as the schools of other cities will be, in tho ownership of the new “liberty bell.” ‘The committee will send Washington's contribution to the headquarters | on Tuesday next. eee See Real Estate Matters.
