Transcriber's Note_Letters on the Cholera Morbus. Containing ample evidence that this disease, under whatever name known, cannot be transmitted from the persons of those labouring under it to other individuals, by contact—through the medium of inanimate substances—or through the medium of the atmosphere; and that all restrictions, by cordons and quarantine regulations, are, as far as regards this disease, not merely useless, but highly injurious to the community.

This text does not refer to epidemic cholera. The term "cholera morbus"

was used in the 19th and early 20th centuries to describe both

non-epidemic cholera and gastrointestinal diseases that mimicked

cholera. The term "cholera morbus" is found in older references but is

not in current scientific use. The condition "cholera morbus" is now

referred to as "acute gastroenteritis."

Spelling variations and inconsistencies have been retained to match the

original text. Only such cases which strongly indicated the presence

of inadvertent typographical error have been corrected; a detailed list

of these corrections can be found at the end of this text.
