Cholera.
In view of the prevalence of Cholera in Egypt and some
parts of Europe, I considered it desirable, as stated in my
last Report, to obtain the promise of a site for a temporary
Cholera Hospital in the Parish, and the Duke of "Westminster
kindly gave permission for the use for this purpose of a piece
of land near the river.
Up to the present time, however, this has fortunately
not been required.
I also prepared, at the request of the Committee of
Works, a circular, which it has not yet been considered
necessary to issue, but the following notice has been sent to
every house in the Parish:—
Notice.
To prevent Summer Diarrhœa and Cholera.
Keep cisterns clean.
See that the overflow pipes of cisterns discharge into the
open air.
Have no bell-traps in your houses.
