Présentation de l'éditeur

Whether the discovery of this specific for Cholera has been made, or whether it is possible that it ever should be, I shall not now consider. It is to the attainment of the second object that I propose to contribute, and I consider that it is less likely to be arrived at by the labours of one individual than by the united operation of many. The observations of a large number of unprejudiced and competent witnesses, collected from various parts of the kingdom, presenting the history, progress, pathology, and treatment of Cholera, is a great desideratum as a groundwork on which to found just conclusions, both theoretical and practical; and I am led to offer the local history of the disease in my neighbourhood, together with such practical deductions as I have been enabled to make, from believing that if, in every town in the kingdom, the same were to be done by some member of the profession, who, not having pledged himself to the validity of any particular mode of cure, would give a candid and intelligent statement of the facts observed in his district, much good might be effected.
