Dr. Cyrus Edson. says: The first question I must answer without qualification. There is a deep feeling of apprehension. both among physicians and the public generally. that the danger of an enidemic of Asiatic cholera during the spring and summer of 1893 is imminent. The character and extent of the danger is. in the present condition of affairs. in proportion as (a) the disease is prevalent and as (b) quarantine is ineffective. (a) Reliable reports from the cities of Northern Europe indicate that thus far the disease is surviving cold weather. and is likely to survive the entire winter. Should it do so. we must expect that Northern Europe will suffer from a severe epidemic of cholera that will commence sometime during the spring of 1893. This will putus close at hand to the disease at least three months earlier in 1893 than in 1892. In other words. the disease will have at least three more months favorable weather and conditions than it had in 1892. and the danger that it will find an entrance and obtain a foothold will be proportionately greater than was the case in 1892. The history of Asiatic cholera in this country during the past. as was shown by President Wilsons testimony. leads to the conclusion that this danger is a very great one. Mr. Charles G.
