CHOLERA.
A committee oflho Collego of Physi
cians of this city, ut the request of tho
Board of Health, have prepared and pub
lished in pamphlet form, a report on Epi
demic Cholera. It is ably and elaborate
ly drnwn up, and contains a vast fund of
information, valuable no less to the medi
cal profession than to the community gen
erally. The first pan of the pamphlet
treats of—
1st.—The geographical range of Chol
era, and (he order of succession in which
different countries, districts, and cities,
havo suffered from the disease.
2d.—The atmospheric and other phe
nomena peceding und accompanying*the
disease.
3d.—The localities in which the dis
ease has chiefly prevailed and proved most
destructive.
4th.—Tho classes of people, and the
modes of living of those who have died
in the greatest numbers.
Next follows a well written essay on the
means of preventing the extension of the
pestilence, which, as more immediately in
point, af this time, we have thought prop-
es to extract:—
Means of preventing the Extension and
mitigating the violence of the Cholera.
Some persons have deemed it possible
absolutely to prevent the breaking out of
the pestilential or latal Cholera in a city
or district. This opinion grows out of
the belief that the disease is transmissible
either by persons or goods, or both, and
that in this way it may be committed from
the sick to the well,from a place in which
it rages to another before exempt from it.
The great body of facts which havo
transpired, in the history of tho disease in
different countries, during the last fifteen
years, ore totally at varmuce with this
creed; Let us repeat some of them here,
beginning with those respecting the first
appearance of the disease in different cit
ies of the world.

cians ol Urititlt India, that Cholera broke
out in several different parts oT Bengal
noarly simultaneously,, or at least without
thoir having any intercourse with each
other. It is also admitted that these out'
breakings of the disease, some of them as
early as May, 1817, were anterior to its
appearance in Jessore, in August of the
same year. It is common, however, to
speak of the Cholera as beginning in the
last mentioned City, whereas, in fact its
origin might just as well be traced to Cal
cutta, where its prosonce was manifested
nearly nl the sauio time as in Jessore.—
Without further examining the question
of the propagation or extension of the
disease in India, since no comparison can
be instituted between the effect of free and
suspended intercourse in that country, ex
cept in one instance, we shall pass on to n
notico of the first restrictive measures
pursued in that quarter of the world. The
exception just alluded to, was the circum
stance already mentioned, of disease ap
pearing in as rapid an order of succession
in places to tho south of Madras, at a time
when the navigation und intercourse be
tween that city and all of the latter was
entirely interrupted by tbe force of the
monsoon, as it had done in places to the
north of Madras, when the navigation was
open, und the commercial intercourse un
interrupted.
Tho governor of the island of Bourbon,
admonished, as he thought, by the rava
ges ol the disonse in the Mauritius, took
every possible precaution to cut off all in
tercourse between the former nnd all sus
pected places or ports; and with this view
established a most rigid quarantine. Not*
withstanding all these measures, tbe dis
ease made its appearance in the island.
We begin our notices of tho attempts in
Europe to keep off tho disease by restric
tive measure of insulation and non-inter
course with Astracan. This city, it will
be remembered was the theatre of tho dis
ease for a time, in 1823. It then subsided
without its spreading lo the adjoining pro
vinces. The conclusions of the medical
men, as given below, refer to the disease
in 1830.
The chief physicians of the hospitals of
that city, in their letter to the medical
council at Moscow, ampng other details
give the following:
The Cholera first appeared one hun
dred worsts from Astracan, on board the
vessel of tvar, Bacon, last from the isle of
Sara, a place exempt, at the time, from
Cholera; this vessel was retained in quar
antine in Sedlitz, 60 miles from Astracan,
nnd not one of the sick reached (his latter
city. The Cholera manifested itself rap
idly and simultaneously in many parts of
the city, without the sick having had any
communication with the placet above
mentioned. The first person affected
with the disease at Astracan, had oot ar
rived from a suspected place, but was a
resident ol tho city.
At Orenberg, quarantine restrictions
wero equally unsuccessful.
Wo learn from the official letter, signed
by the physician, police officer, and others,
that, after the most mioote inquiries, the
man first attacked with cholera at St. Pe-
’ershurgh, had no immediate intercourse
whatever, with persons who had come
trom any other place—nor could direct
personal intercourse be traced between
any two of the first five or six cases.—
These occurred, be it remembered, at
a time when the city was surrounded by
sanitary cordons, and a rigid system of
3 uarantino carried into effect, directly un-
or the oyes of the government, and with
an immense array of military force.
The most careful and minute inquiries,
as wo learn from a German and an En
glish physician, instituted at Moscow,
prove incontestibly, that the disease was
not imported into that capital; but that it
appeared there spontaneously. It was
ascertained that the first four patients had
not themselves been in any infected pikes,
nor held communication with any person
or persons coming from such a place.
The British Consul (and be is bantu
out in his statement by the Livonian gov
ernment) tells us, that the disease appear
ed simultaneously in three different places
at Riga. The first cases were two stone
masons, working in the Petersburgh sub
urbs, a person in the citadel, nnd a lady
resident in the town. None of (tiato
persons had the slightest communication
with the crews of barques, or other stran
gers.
Dantzic was said to have received the
disease from Riga. The truth is, that
there had been two cases a German mile
from Danizic on the 27th May—two in
the town in different parts, and others on
the 29th, in three or four villages near
Dantzic. Now, the first vessel which
left from Riga after the disease had bro
ken out in that city, did not arrive at
Dantzic dntil the morning of the 90th
May; and she had a dean bill of health,
The captain of this vessel died on the 3isf
May, as it was supposed, but not proved,
of Cholera. Be (his as.it may, the dis
ease had appeared in different parts of.
Dantzic three days before the arrival oflho
vessel from Riga. With Poland the in
tercourse had coated since the beginning
of the winter.
Breslau, the capital of Silesia, In what
was considered the enjoyment of the most
perfect system of quarantine, both on (he
frontiers of the province, and on the river
Oder, was suddenly alarmed by the dis
ease appearing in one of its faubourgs.—
The first case was of a female who baanev
er qultted'the city, nor ever been engaged id
the traffic of clothes. After (lie most mi
nute investigation by the public authori
ties, not the slightest evidence was qbtain-
ed of this person having had communica
tion with any stranger, or goorta suspected
of being infected. In a few days after
her death, many persons wero attacked
with Cholera, in parts of the city re
mote from each other.
In some of the cities iu Germany and
Hungary, besides a total suspension of in
tercourse between tiiose in which tbe dis
ease was present, and neighboring as well
as distant places, each bouse in which a
person happened to be attacked, was im
mediately surrounded by a guard, and all
communication between it and other hou-
sos was prevented. New cases, neverthe
less, continued to occur daily, in different
parts of these citias—and the precautions
thus taken, seemed rather to increase the
number of the victims of the disease, thad
to cattail its spread.
Berlin, despite the saniterv cordon,
composed of the choice troops of the
kingdom, under the eye of the Sovereign
himself, became a theatre of tbe revegel'
of the Cholera.
The inhabitants of Hamburg, looking
with anxiety towards Prussia and coun

in their power by sanitary cordons and
quarantine, to prevent the disease, front
