FINAL RETORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH. The undersigned, members of the Hoard of Health of the town of Columlus, being; now happily released fiom the further performance of the duties of our appoint ment, by the restoration of general health, deem it a duty which we owe to the public to submit, in this our final report, a tew general remarks in relation to the alarm ing disease which has recently afflicted our town. The first ense of Cholera occurred among us, on the 14th day of July, 1833, and the last on the 29th cf Sept. Between these dates, the total number who fell victims to this disease within the limits of the town, was 92, of which 1 1 ere among the prisoners confined in the Pen itentiary. Ihe total number of inhabitants in the town at the time the cholera appeared among us, is supposed to have been about 3.500, of whom neaily onefourth part removed, temporarily, from the town, during the prevalence of the di-ease. It is worthy of remark that tho Cholera continued in this place considerably longer than it has usually done in towna similarly situated, and comparing with it as to population. We hae reason to believe that this may be attributed mainly to imptudent exposure; to improper liv- : mg, both in regard to nualitv and ruanlity oi ioou: and especially to the lr-e use ot !

Indiscreet indulgences in the use of fruit, and of crude, unripe or watery vegetables, are ascertained to have preceded in almost every instance, the attacks of the cholera, arid are believed t have had a direct and powerful agency in producing the disease. U'e aie also fully satisfied that exesa in eating" and dunking was a prolific source of cholera, and especially fiver. Of those who made free use of Cholera syrup, (a heating medicine recommended by a certain clas of practitioners as a specific for lhe prevention of Cholera) ;t tar greater portion were attacked w ith the disease, than of an equal number ot pet--ons who did nut make use of it; and or those whowere attacked after using ibis medicine in any considerable quantities, very few recovered. We have no l ubc ihut a free use of this heating uiedicn.e was the immediate cauee of ma) cu-?-of oUlinato fevers.
