"THE GOVERNOR AND THE CHOLERA
it
Deaths, from cholera are not at present so numerems as they were, but we have no assurance that on the coming on again of the rains, or on the approach of atravspheric and other conditions of which physicians appear still to be ignorant. the disease will not again appear, or that it has que done with us for the summer. Sanitation must still watch and work. The Governor's address to the Sanitary Board reg uding cholera, penned by His Excellency on the 26 June, hat which was not made public fill the 5th inst, shows clearly to what an extent this alarming disease is still misunderstood by the inedical faculty of the world. Strange as it may seen in these days of discovery. still appesis to be a fact that medical science is yet a girl den! in the dark regarding a first which falls on frail humanity, with such a simple yet often terrible and sudden attack. Here we have a highly educated and thoroughly experienced Governor of a British colony, with a dozen experienced physicians or doctors to consult as to ways" and means of meeting the deadly disorder and who a suredly has consulted them before drawing unmistakeable phis letter-admitting in language that neither the medical officers of his Government nor the private practicioners of the colony, have yet succeeded in advising an anxious public what they shall do to make their houses and their persons sale from the dreadful scourge. Under such circumstances His Excellency has done well in coming to the front, and in advising anything and everything being done, either in the way of closing up wells of doubiful purity or in giving heed and serious attention in that which goes through the mouth and thus poisons the poor bedly, as something animatedly musi, to cause the fearful vomiting- and purging in the first stages of the disease. It fasy to understand that nothing can be so unsale in connection with cholern as impure water, and yet it is certainly perplexing when we are reminded that the Chinese, who have been the greatest sufferers, never drink water until it has been boiled Still, they boil their rice in water which, if impare, may readily convent into a deadly poison. every atom of food when subjected to the chemical processes of digestion. The free supply of medicines recommended by the Governor, and his intimation that the supply should be rendered more generally availabic, will commend itself to the minds of all who may be apperhensive of a sudden attack indeed to the whole community, whether they are apprehensive or nat. There appears to be one thing certain about this disease, which is that nature is unable to single and make head-way against it without such
assistance. What that, medicine is com- nosed of we know not, and don't want to know ponicularly, as long as it is effective, but we cannot help remembering that when cholera was an had in France and Italy in '83; a certain Doctor Rubino was said to have cured 293 patients out ef. 300, by a mixture of spirits of wine and camphor, the composition of which we give in another column..

A grand charity fête was held here last Sun' day evening on the grounds of the Residency and was largely patronised ; Mr. Richaud, the new Resident general pasiponing his deprun for Hanol, to be present.
