LETTERS ON THE CHOLERA MORBUS.
Reading edition
CONTAINING
AMPLE EVIDENCE THAT THIS DISEASE, UNDER WHATEVER NAME KNOWN, CANNOT BE TRANSMITTED FROM THE PERSONS OF THOSE LABOURING UNDER IT TO OTHER INDIVIDUALS, BY CONTACT—THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF INANIMATE SUBSTANCES—OR THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF THE ATMOSPHERE; AND THAT ALL RESTRICTIONS, BY CORDONS AND QUARANTINE REGULATIONS, ARE, AS FAR AS REGARDS THIS DISEASE, NOT MERELY USELESS, BUT HIGHLY INJURIOUS TO THE COMMUNITY.
By a Professional Man of Thirty Years experience, in various parts of the World. LONDON: NICHOLS AND SONS, PRINTERS, EARL'S COURT, CRANBOURN STREET LEICESTER SQUARE. 1831.
The first series of these Letters, consisting of five, appeared in the months of September and October of the present year; five others, written in a more popular form, were inserted in a Newspaper from time to time, in the course of this month:—a few additions and alterations, preparatory to their appearance in the shape of a pamphlet, have been made.
If, at a moment like the present, they prove in any manner useful to the public, the writer will feel great satisfaction.
November 26th, 1831.
