Cholera and Consumption.

The point is made that if cholera were as common as consumption it would attract as little notice. Its rare appearance and mysterious work cause people to regard it with fear. Consumption is more destructive than cholera, and is always with us, killing annually its tens and perhaps hundreds of thousands. Epidemics do not greatly raise the rate of mortality. About the same number of people die every year, and during an epidemic there is generally a decrease in the deaths from ordinary diseases.— Atlanta Constitution. Strength must be found in thought, or it will never be found in words. Big sounding words, without thoughts corresponding, are efforts without effect.— WiUiam Cobbatt.
