The Board of Health have begun an examination into the sanitary condition of public and private quarters in and about Boston, with especial reference to the possible visitation of the westward moving Cholera. Daily papers are prophesying that the "Scientists" will soon have abundant opportunity to test their skill on contagion in its worst manifestation, and city people are already making preparations for flights to country safety. Fear is the foundation of Cholera's triumph, and nothing but fearlessness and unlimited confidence in the power of Good to control evil, Mind to control matter, Spirit to control flesh, will save a panic-stricken people from the ills they invite by anticipation and undue precaution. Cleanliness, however, is next to godliness, and if the movements of the health inspectors can affect any permanent righting up of some of Boston's neglected streets, the "Scientists" will be as grateful for the improvement as "other folks."
