It is on the United States military reservation. up the Hook as far away as possible from the military station and from the lighthouse. but not over to the Jersey shore. because the Hook proper is separated by a bare neck from the main land of New Jersey. and there can be no possible objection to the use of this end of Sandy Hook as a quarantine station. This appears to be the whole national preparation for cholera. It is not to be forgotten. however. that there is Ellis Island. the immigration station. where all immigrants go after they have passed the State quarantine and the national quarantine. where certain inspections are made in order that the immigration act of March 3. 1891. may be complied with. and where immigrants who happen to be sick are taken care of. by means of ample hospital accommodations. although it is not intended that persons who may be afflicted with contagious or infectious disease shall be treated upon Ellis Island.
