15 NOVEMBER 1884, Page 3
There has been a sharp outbreak of cholera in Paris.
On three successive days the deaths have been 98, 89, and 81; and though this shows a certain tendency to abate, which may be due to the cold weather, it is too likely that any return of the warm and muggy weather would be accompanied by a new accession of violence in the disease. Indeed, on Thursday there was again an increase in the deaths. Fresh cases, too, are reported from the South of France, probably in consequence of the outbreak in Paris. We must clearly be prepared to hear soon of Cholera in England, and be prepared also, we hope, not to run away from it, but to fight it with the proper weapons.
