Baron Malortie, writing to Monday's Ti ales, gives very strong

support to the view of Dr. Mouat, which we reported last week, and to our own conjecture published six weeks ago, that the epidemic in Egypt is not Asiatic cholera. He quotes a letter from Dr. Abbate Pasha, the chief physician to the Khedive, in which the latter says that the epidemic is quite certainly not Asiatic cholera, but chaleroide, au endemiclocal disease presenting similar symptoms. The Khedive's physician scoffs at the notion of the disease being imported from India, and declares that he is preparing a memoir on it for the Medical profession.
