“To our constituted authorities we would recommend the most
assiduous attention to cleanliness in our streets, along
our wharves and docks; to our citizens, strict attention to
cleanliness in their houses and persons, to pay due attention
to dress, avoid exposure to the night air, and observe
strict temperance, not only in _drink_, but in _food_. We
would caution them against the free use of _fruit_, _ripe_
or _unripe_, and the employment of Glauber or Epsom salts
as medicines. Several cases of cholera have been brought on
by their operation. If due attention be paid to all these
precautions, we have every reason to hope that the epidemic
will soon cease to prevail among us.
“JONA. EIGHTS, Chairman.”
