Excerpt from A Treatise on Asiatic Cholera A chapter will also be found giving the history of the disease as observed in the United States Navy. The manuscript was kindly supplied by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery of the U. S. Navy Department, and the editor takes this opportunity of extending his thanks to said Bureau. It seems unnecessary to indicate in detail the plan and scope of the book. The editor may, however, be permitted to call special attention to the valuable article on the prevention of cholera, from the pen of Dr. J. B. Hamilton, surgeon-general of the Marine Hos pital Service, and the equally important contribution of Dr. G. M. Sternberg, on the destruction of cholera germs.

Excerpt from A History of Asiatic Cholera I feel sure that it must be my own fault if the details given in the following work are not sufficiently attractive to interest the public for the subject I have taken in hand is nothing less than an account of a controllable disease which has within the last fifty years burst forth from British India; and destroyed on each occasion millions of human beings, many of them in the prime of life and all cut 06 by this malady have endured frightful agony during the few hours they have lingered in its grasp. I am well aware that the public will meet with details in this volume which are seldom brought to their notice.
