Dr E V. Shakespeare Tells of His Visit
to Swinburne Island.
From the Sew York Herald.
Just before Health Officer William M.
Smith started for his daily visit to Hoffman
ami Swinburne islands and the quarantined
steamship Alesia on Monday, he was visited
by Or. E. V. Shakespeare, of Philadelphia,
•w ho asked to be allowed to accompany hint.
Dr. Shakespeare was appointed in ISSS by
President Cleveland to visit Europe, and
subsequently Egypt, to inquire into the
causes of cholera and to maxe suggestions
to the government as to the best means of
prevent-ug it.
Dr. Shakespeare’s request was granted,
and he and Health Officer Smith went first
on board the Alesia, where they had an in
terview with the ship's surgeon, who hails
from Marseilles. Ho showed Dr. Shakes
peare his sanitary notes of the voyage, from
the time of sailing from Marseilles up to the
arrival at this port. The first case which
he recognized as cholera occurred on Sept.
It!: the steamer having sailed from Mar
seilles on Aug. 80, with simply her crew and
cargo. She touched at Naples for the pur
pose of taking on board immigrants, a large
number of whom were Sicilians,
The report of the Consul at Naples shows
that for the five weeks previous to the date
of sailing there had been much cholera in
and around Naples, and that it was not
known how long the Sicilian immigrants had
remained at Naples, nor whether they
brought the disease with t hem from Sicily
or contracted it in that city. No water or
provisions were taken aboard at Naples.
The steamer sailed on Sept. The captain
had intended to touch at Palermo for the
purpose of taking aboard some forty immi
grants, but the ship’s surgeon earnestly
protested, in view of the probablity of re
ceiving cholera from that city, and the cap
tain determined to sail direct from New
York w-ithout touching in Sicily.
THE FIRST SICKNESS.
On examining the notes of illness, as re
corded by the Surgeon, it was found that a
child of some 11 years of age came under
the Surgeon's charge on account of intesti
nal troubles. These seemed to be relieved
in the course of a few days by simple reme
dies, and the Surgeon did not think that it
was cholera. On Sept. 10 the ship’s baker
was suddenly seized with symptoms of cere
bral congestion, great oppression in breath
ing, violent vomiting and some cramps, but
the surgeon attributed this attack to fright
from a nightmare or to violent anger He
remained ill until Sept. 14, when the notes
for that date state that he had so far recov
ered as to enable him to probably resume
bis duties the next day. A few days later
the same man had a relapse, the symptoms
being characterized as hysterical, and again
attributed to fright. In the meantime, the
first recognized case of cholera had occurred,
as above stated,"on Sept. 12. Dr. Shakes
peare expressed the belief that these two
cases were also cholera.
From the ship the party went to Hoffman
Island where about 550 passengers are under
observation. There they found another
man suffering from cholera. He had been
eating some mussels that he had picked
off the rocks and claimed that he was
simply suffering from indigestion. He pro
tested loudly against being taken to the
hospital for such a trivial cause. The doc
tors decided that he was suffering from a
genuine attack of cholera in its earl}’ stages
and he was sent to Swinburne Island. The
indications were that he would have a
severe attack.
The other passengers, Dr. Shakespeare
said, appeared to be in good health and good
spirits. After the inspection the doctors
visited the fumigating rooms. There ale
three of these, and all were at work. A
considerable amount of the baggage has al
ready been fumigated and is lying in the
store house. The fumigating rooms are
20x40 feet and are so nearly airtight that
only slight traces of the gas are perceptible
on the outside. The garments are separated
and hung up on lines so that the fumer of
the sulphurous acid gas can permeate them
at all points. They remain in the room for
several horn s.
CHOLERA EASILY STAMPED OUT.
While cholera is undoubtedly at times a
frightfully fatal disease and is exceedingly
liable to spread when the slightest careless
ness is practiced by those in charge of the
means of checking it, yet experience has
shown that with a proper means of preven
tion it is one of the easiest of all epidemic
diseases to stamp out. Fortunately the
specific cause of the disease, whether it be
the comma bacillus of Koch or some other
living agent, is exceedingly susceptible to
the action of destructive measures. It is
readily killed by heat, even considerably
below the boiling point, and by most
of the common disinfectants when
thoroughly applied. Indeed, it seems cer
tain that the gastric fluids of the healthy
stomach have the power to kill it. While
the practice of disinfection of the soiled
clothing and the stools of cholera patients
in Italy and Spain has been exceedingly
imperfect, yet in the vast majority of cases
it has been sufficient to protect certain
localities entirely, and even to suddenly cut
short, incipient epidemics. With proper
attention to cleanliness of person, food and
drink there is absolutely no danger of con
tracting the disease while in attendance on
the sick, as it is not contagious.as are small -
pox and measles, through the air, but only
••tucks a |>erson by way of the digestive
organs, entering with water or food which
'in some way has become contaminated by
the stools which contain the effective agent.
LOOKING FOR THE GERMS.
Dr. Shakespeare made “cultures" from
the dejecta of several of the patients for the
purpose of ascertaining the presence or ab
sence in them of what is called Koch’s comma
bacillus. In all the cases he examined
during the epidemic in Spain, Italy and In
dia. he says he always found the comma ba
cillus in tiie dejecta Ho has never found it
exceDt in cases of cholera, and consequently
he regards its presence as a sure diagnostic
indication of the existence of cholera.
The culture is made by inoculating a
small chemical test tube containing a mix
tine of beef broth, gelatine and peptone.
This furnishes a transparent medium very
favorable to the exuberant growth of most
forms of bacteria, including the comma
ladllus, which is an exceedingly minute
parasitic plant. Dr. Shakespeare will add
to his forthcoming report to tie government
bis observations on these cases. The comma
bacillus multiplies with extraordinary ra
pidity.
The result of Dr. Shakespeare's observa
tions will not bo made known until after bis
return to Philadelphia. He says, however,
that he is convinced from what lie saw din -
ing his visit to Swinburne and Hoffmann
islands that the disease which carried off so
many of the unfortunate passengers of the
Alesia was Asiatic cholera.
TOBACCD CHEWING.
A Peculiarly American Practice That
Is Fiat Becoming Obsolete.
When Charles Dickens was first in Ameri
ca there was nothing that seemed to him so
worthy of ridicule as the way Americans
used tobacco. He never got tired of ringing
the changes upon this theme. One who had
never been in England and knew nothing of
English habits would have supposed tnat
Americans were the only people in the world
who chewed tobacco. Tunes change and
national habits change with them. We are
no longer a nation ol tobacco ehewers. That
manner of using the weed is gradually pass
ing away. The liabit, will be as rare in a
few years as snuff taking is now.
Common observation shows this. Within
the memory of very young men it used to
he necessary to decorate every public place
that was desired to bo kept clean with ad
monitions to the tobacco crower not to ex
pectonite on the floor. There used to be a
splendid opportunity in those admonitions
for fine, caustic reference* to the bad habits
of some people. "Gentlemen will, and others
must, use the spittoons,” with the “must” in
all the emphasis of six-line letters, was a
common legend, “if your early training
has not taught you Unit it is bad manners
to spit on the floor, an officer of the bnal
will show you the use of the spittoon,” was
the elaborate text that once ornamented the
gorgeous cabin of a Missouri river steam
boat. Brief, plaintive appeals of the same
general tenor were as frequent ly seen as are
the warnings about smoking oh the elevated
platforms now.
But in spite of warning and exhortation
the bad practice went on. Perhaps the cor
ridors of the national capitol at Washing
ton were about as bad in that respect as any
place in the country. Citizens who were
showing off the wonders of the place to for
eign guests used to hurry through that por
tion of their excursion as fast as they could.
Their haste, however, did not enable them
to escape from many a shameful apology
for a practice that, to foreign eyes, was ab
solutely disgusting. For, although we were
not the only nation in the world, by any
means, which chewed tobacco, we were the
only one that permitted evidences of the
habit to be seen in every public place
We are getting over that now, however.
Every tobacconist recognizes the great
change that is taking place in what may be
called in a rather new sense the public taste.
Any average tobacconist, whose trade is
not chiefly among sailors iftid truckmen,
will tell you he does not sell one-half as
much chewing tobacco as he did ten years
ago, and not one-third as much as he did
twenty years ago. Very likely he will lie
unable to guess why it is; but he can’t deny
the fact. I asked one of them about it the
other day. He said:
“The change is due to a variety of causes.
It is a great deal more apparent here in the
East than in the West and South, but it is
going on all over the country. One thing
is undoubtedly the strength of public opin
ion that it is an uncleanly habit. It is hard
for a man who chews to keep evidence of it
from his clothes. That fact makes it, inevi
table that the habit should go down before
the increasing attention to dress, that is a
feature of modern life. Then a great many
retined and well-intentioned persons have
waged war against it for years. It was in
evitable that some effect should follow their
crusade.
“But the principal causes are l ight here.
There is a great deal more dyspepsia and
stomach trouble in the country now than
there used to be. And no person can chew
tobacco who has a weak stomach James
Parton says in his famous pamphlet against
rum and tobacco that the stomach will hold
out against the weed longer than the lungs.
James does not smoke or chew, and there
fore doesn’t know. Common experience
shows that he is wrong, and doctors support
the verdict of common experience. The
action of the tobacco juice, which trickles
down the chewer’s throat, is to paralyze the
action of the stomach. It will do that loug
before smoke will have any perceptible ef
fect upon an ordinary pair of lungs.
"Then the cigarette has done a great deal
to put an end to the habit of chewing to
bacco. The growth of the cigarette prac
tice in this country is, as they say of West
ern towns, ‘phenomenal.’ The consumption
of cigarettes has doubled many times over
in the last fifteen years. About seven out
of every ten boys who are growing up now
smoke cigarettes. And after a boy has
smoked cigarettes for a few years he not
only has no taste for tobacco in any other
form, but he has no constitution left to
stand chewing tobacco. It is curious how
boys will take to cigarettes. I believe it is
very largely because of the fuss made about
them. It has got to be the common opinion
that cigarette smoking is the most injurious
practice known. That is just why boys
adopt it. It makes them an object of awful
interest to other boys and girls. It is sooth
ing to a boy’s foolish pride to know that
people have marked him out as one who is
rushing with frightful temerity to early de
struction. Whether that is the cause of it
or not, it is perfectly certain that more and
more cigarettes are being sold every j'ear
and less and less chewing tobacco.”
In the oid days “befo' the wall,” when the
South set the fashion for the whole country,
nearly every statesman used to chew. The
chewers in Congress are rare now. With
the exception of Speaker Carlisle and bluff
old Philetus Sawyer, there is scar cely a well
known man on either side of the House who
is confirmed in the habit. When Belford,
the gentleman from Colorado, who rejoiced
in the alliterative title of the Redheaded
Rooster of the Rockies, and who could make
more noise than any- other three men in
Washington, was in Congress he used to
chew incessantly. It is said that he did not
cease the practice even when he slept. An
astonishing report comes from Colorado that
even Mr. Belford has been caught by the
wave of reformation and has abjured the
weed. In a recent letter to a friend in New
York he asserts that for six weeks he has
solaced himself with arrowroot and gum.
People who have for years preached a cru
sade against the tobacco habit may reflect
upon this case and take heart.
The sufferings which an inveterate tobacco
chewer endures when he first deprives him
self of his accustomed weed are popularly
supposed to be something dreadful. Some
old chewers say they are, and some say they
are nothing that a resolute will and a clear
head cannot easily stand. They will agree,
however, that to have something in the
mouth to quiet the jumping veins, deprived
of their usual tranquilizer, is desirable and
pleasant. To supply this want somebody
invented a plug of stuff 41 be chewed look
ing much like tobacco, and warranted to
supply its place in every particular without
injurious effects. When it appeared the
enemies of the chewing practice declared
that there was now no reason why the most
confirnied chewer in the world should not
stop, since ho had here the long looked-for
substitute. This seemed reasonable enough
and a good many persons acted upon the
suggestion, until it was found by an inquir
ing chemist one day that the remedy was
worse than the disease. The substitute for
chewing tobacco consisted in some harmless
loaves, soaked in licorice, and then dressed
with a tincture of opium.
A Nihilist’s Disguise.
The Odessa correspondent of the Daily
Sews wr.tes: A case transpired here the
other day which reveals in a curious man
ner the successful ruses adopted by the
Nihilists for the spread of their revolution
ary literature. An apparently half de
mented and harmless person, a young man
of some 25 years of age,'and very poorly
clad, has for some time past picked up a
precarious livelihood as a peripatetic
vendor of almanacs, calendars, childreu’s
story books, etc. All these articles were of
the cheap, popular quality. His basket and
wallet contained also the showy prints of
religious subjects much affected by the
poorer classes. A few days ago he was
detected in the sale of "Nihilist litera
ture. He was arrested and his stock
confiscated. His character of a poor
imbecile, supported by the evidence of
the police, and his story of acquiring
the forbidden literature at a trifling cost
from an unknown stranger, and his general
incoherence and inability to read or write,
were so evident to the bench that he was at
once discharged. A couple of days later it
was found that the imbecile colporteur's
passport was false; and the police discover
ing that he was known to certain citizens as
appearing on many occasions in
private circles as ' a well-dressed,
well-educated, and highly-informed
young man who spoke learnedly
on matters of internal policy, a warrant was
immediately issued for his re-arrest. It
is needless Cos say that he has not been found,
nor is he likely to be. The characters and
disguises assumed by many of these young
propagandists defy the utmost vigilance of
the regular and secret police, and uucoess
fullv deceive, as in this case, both magis
trates and the so-called lynx-eyed Russian
judges of instruction.
It was on old oriental doctrine that
women have no souls. More enlightened
philosophy concedes that they have purer,
finer, more exalted souls than men But
they are too often contained in feeble sui
lti'Hig bodies, which bump*]- and retard
their full development. For all those pain
