The Cholera.
New York, Sept. 14.—Now that
Asiatic cholera has developed among the
dwellers m this citv» each may ask his
neighbor. •‘Well, what of it?” This
expression implies no over confidence.
It lies within each individual’s power to
assure his own personal safety almost
beyond peradventure. He has but to
drink no water and milk except such as
has been thoroughly boiled, and to eat no
food that has not been thoroughly and
freshly cooked. Ho will abstain from
butter and cheese, and may then possess
his soul in serenity—cholera will pass him
bv. Ever since the Moravia arrived in
port, as the harbinger of the dreaded
plague, the state and local officials have
been straining every nerve to prevent its
gaining a foothold in this city an 1 being
spread by various channels to the country
at large. But while all were looking sea
ward, cholera quietly made its presence
felt in our midst and five corpses today
mark its advent.
How did it get in ? is the question on
everyone’s lips. The health officers are
puzzled, but the utmost precaution is be
ing taken to prevent its spread At each of
the houses where the patients lived, two
doctors have been stationed to remain
constantly on duty enforcing the most
rigid rules of cleanliness, seeing to disin
fecting, etc.
