_Liability of Negroes to Cholera._
An impression appears somehow or other to have got abroad that negroes
are not liable to be attacked with cholera; such a notion, however,
has no foundation. In New York, it has been observed that they have
enjoyed no greater immunity than the whites, and the natives of India,
whose constitution much resembles that of the negro, were more liable
to cholera than Europeans. There is ample grounds for fearing that the
disease will be productive of terrible mortality among the slaves of
the southern states, and proper measures of hygiene should be promptly
adopted; and on the very first symptoms of derangement of the digestive
organs, remedial measures immediately resorted to.
_Cholera at New York._
It affords us pleasure to notice that the cholera is abating in our
sister city. During the last few days, the number of cases have
considerably diminished, and though accidental causes may occasionally
interrupt their constant decrease, it is manifest that the epidemic has
reached its height and is on the decline.
The report for the twenty-four hours, ending Tuesday, July 31st, at 12
o’clock, announces--
In private practice, new cases, 59, deaths, 23
