Steamships should be kept thoroughly c.eanI will read from the opinion of Dr. Sayres: III. The danger to be apprehended from immigrants and their belongings is very great. and the best measures to reduce this danger to a minimum are to have all Immigrant passengers and their belongings thoroughly cleansed and disinfected. and carefully isolated and watched for at least five days before they are permitted to take passage. This careful Inspection of all the passengers should be made daily. during the entire voyage. by the medical officers of the ship. and their nurses and their assistants. so that the first evidences of the disease may be detected and the disease itself arrested. If this efficient plan can be properly carried out in every port of entry on this continent we can certainly prevent an invasion of cholera.
