On the one hand, it was held that cholera is a specific disease originating in India; on the other, that it may arise spontaneously in any country, and own no specific cause.

Cholera, in its modern representation is more terrible a malady than its ancient type, in so far as we have knowledge of it from ancient learning.

They even assert that, taken early, the cholera is by no means a fatal disorder.

If all parsons had preached about it for the last fifteen years as Mr. Headley did last Sunday, if they had told people plainly that, if the cholera was God's judgment at all, it was His judgment of the sin of dirt, and that the repentance which He required was to wash and be clean in literal earnest, the cholera would be impossible in England by now.
