Description:Excerpt from The Druggists' Bulletin, Vol. 4: A Monthly Exponent of Pharmaceutical Progress and News, January to December, 1890 The present epidemic, like almost all other epi demies, come from the East. We heard of it first in Ekaterinburg, and no doubt it would be traceable thence to Astrakhan or Samarcand. From Ekaterinburg it went to Moscow, St. Petersburg and Berlin, and thence to Pakis. The rapidity with which it spreads is something marvelous. Even in the days before railroads it has been known to overspread the whole of Europe in six weeks and then travel to America. Fortunately, the present visitation is classed as benign by the physi cians. Benign is one of the doctors' odd words, and in this case it means merely mild, just as laudable pus means something comparatively and not positively praiseworthy. According to the New York Medical Record, the disease is undoubtedly due to some micro-organism which oats in the air, and which infects the human sys tem, but is generally killed in so doing, for the in uenza is but slightly if at all contagious. We observe that some feeling of alarm prevails lest this epidemic be a precursor to cholera, as was the case in 1831 and 1847. There have been, however, plenty of cholera epi demies without a preceding in uenza, and a great many in uenza epidemics without any associate cholera. The micro-organisms of the two diseases are as essentially different as are the diseases themselves. The cholera germ lives in water and soil, the in uenza germ in the air. The relation between the two diseases has been, we believe, purely accidental. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
