WILL KILL CHOLERA. Jiatnral Gas and Petroleum May Keep the Disease Away. THE VEGETABLE GERM EXISTS. Colonel T. P. Roberts Tells of His Having Eeen It Recently. OPPOSED TO LOWERING TEE DAVIS DAM "Pittsburg if less liable to be infected with cholera on account of its natural ens and petroleum resources than other cities that do not have these advantages." The above remark was made by Colonel Thomas R Boberts, civil engineer, of the Monongahela Transportation Company, and nember of the State Board of Health. He was discussing the inadvisability of lower ing Davis Island 'darn, as the water, he be lieves, would then become stagnant and form a vast breeding ground for bacteria of any and all diseases. ' Resuming his talk upon the beneficial qualities of natural gas as a veeetable germ destroyer, the Colonel said he was satisfied the cholera germ was of vegetable life. There is much talk amont; physicians," he continued, "about the non-existence of the cholera germ, but I have seen the germ myself while on exhibition before the Microscopical Society a few months ago and know of what I am speaking. There is as yet no well-established theory regarding the cholera either as to its causes or cure, and one may clearly be entitled to theorize. That there is some excuse for this state of affairs is evidenced by the fact that it has only been within the last decade that the germ theory has been generally accepted by our foremost scientists. Many there are even yet who dispute the theory and claim the comma bacillus is not the real progeni tor of the disease. These doubtless hold the comma bacillus, or other germs found iu the waste discharges of the disease, to be the product of a peculiar path ological or 'morbid condition ofhealth in stead of being the cause direct This theory when fully developed requires of its advo cate a belief in spontaneous generation of life. This question has agitated tor years the most profound students of biology, but so far they are at a loss to prove it a fact and are obliged to accept the germ theory as the only practicable one to account for the phenomena of cholera and other in fectious disease. 1VlnTe th Germs TJMon. "One fact appears to be demonstrated re garding all forms of bacteria heretofore dis covered and classified. That fact is that they all belong to the vegetable kingdom ' although of a low and primitive order of existence. Bacteria are mere cells of pro toplasm which multiply by subdivision and are devoid ot chlorophyL They are judged to be vegetable rather than animal forms of life on account of their resistance to alkaline solutions. Moisture or water is necessary lor their propagation, and, like animals, oxygen seems to be necessary to support their existence. It is pretty well demonstrated that their native soils, includ ing the waters, are in the lowlands of Bengal. It was at Jessore in 1817 that the first epidemic of the disease was made known to European physicians. It has upon repeated occasions since tbat period spread over Asia, Africa and America, from the same basic region. The probabilities are that in that district there is a mean tem perature approximating 93, at which heat they best flourish, with other favoring con ditions for their grcrth and dissemination through a populous region. It is a mistake to suppose, howeier, that cool weather, or even winter weather, will exterminate the cholera, because it has raged upon several occasions in Europe in the coldest days ot winter. As one writer states: The in stances where cholera has been kept out by a rigid cordon or the strictest of" quaran tines are few, ajd,' he continues, 'quaran tines may be called elaborate illustrations of leaki'ness,' as we hail an illustration only yesterday in Xew York, where the third-class passengers ot a certain steamer were required to take bathB in salt water and go luto camp on an island for several days, while the cabin passengers, some of whom mingled with the immigrants on the voyage, were permitted to go to the city without being compelled to even wash their hands. H Goes Recommended. "It occurs to me that such agents which are known to be destructive to vegetable life, while not specially inimical to animal life, should be employed to exterminate the cholera germ. I have to suggest the ap plicability ot natural gas in Pittsburg especially for this purpose, reference being made here to its application in therapeutics when the dreaded symptoms of the disease makes its appearance in a given case. That natural gas is peculiarly hostle to vegetable life we are not left in doubt, as common ob servation will teach any one who walks along the route of a gas main in the country. The manufactured gas has the same effect, . but it would scarcely be advisable to inhale it, as it is sometimes actually poisonous. Katural gas upou the other hand may be in haled without serious conseauences for some time, and is probably never fatal to me excepting wnen inhaled to the entire exclusion ot air or oxygen. Its pre liminary effects proceeding unconscious ness are stated to be somewhat like those witnessed in the administration of laughing gas, though from directly op posite causes. The last epidemic of cholera to visit Pittsburg was in 1804. It is to be noted that it confined itself to the South side and the region of the Monongahela Valley, not reaching at all the Allegheny river side of the city. At that time the Allegheny river was fairly saturated with crude oil and thousands ot barrels ot it ' were piled upon its wharves, while the shores above the city reeked with oil refuse from manufactories. It is not an over drawn inference to connect the exemption from the disease of those living upou and using Allegheny river water at that time with the presence of the oil, etc., as stated. Anj-thing, in fact, which consumes the oxy gen in water prevents purification, and purification is nothing but the propagation of anamalcula bacteria most of which is harmless, but in times like a cholera epi demio we cannot afford to let matters rest without inviting purification, or, as we might term it, oxidization of any impurities iu our waters. An Initiation to Cholera. The proposition to drain the Davis Island pool and expose the bed of the river to the action of the atmosphere, after it has had deposited upon it the refuse of the city for a number ot weeks, would be an invitation to cholera if any existed in our midst The disease, which is known to be exceed ingly impolite, making calls without any formality, wouid not he slow to appreciate anil improve upon this cesspool. It is a gross exaggeration to say the Monongahela river is foul in our city harbor below Lock 2fo. L Not less than 35,000 cubic feet of water per miuute, and if anything more thauthis is now pouring over dam Na 1, leaking through it, or consumed in making lockages. This is equal to 50,000,000 cubic feet or 375,000,000 gallons of water daily passing the city and considering the average section of the "river represents a new lake about one mile loug of the river's width niiea to the depth of ten'feet everv day. It is impossible to conceive all this quantitv of water being daily contaminated by the comparatively small discharge from the lew sewers. It is true the shores ana water near the sewer outlets are very offensive, and no doubt the bottom of the river, and the river banks below water level in their vicinity contain much putrid matter, but uraing me pool win not clean the bottom. 'This leadl to the connlndinir remark in the sanitary report of the State Board ot Health upon the subject, of cholera epi demic). This remark refers to the me of sulphuric acid in water as a destroyer of germ life in drinking water. The acid ab sorbs the oxygen In " the water, without which.no bacteria can exist How tlin Add Operates. Bacteria are not burned to death by ths acid, for if this were true, human bejngg would suffer from the same cansc It is a mild power that controls the existence or non-existence of the low forms of fife. A few degrees of temperature nrore or less or the oxygen supply will regulate the de velopment of such terrible creatures as tne comma bacillus. "I saw a small colony of these scourges when exhibited at a meeting last winter of the Microscopical Society in this citv. and thev are well named from their resemblance to the printers1 comma. "I would urge our local scientists and physicians to keep in mind the possible therapeutic value of our natural gas. One matter is important for study, concerning which I lack information. That is, it is stated that some bacteria develop in ths intestines, or the tissues 'lymphatics' of the body; others seek the blood or general circulation. Now if the 'comma bacillus is found much in the blood it would appear that as the blood is constantly passing to the lungs to be oxydized by the air we breath a corrective could be applied by in halation. If, upon the contrary, the germs are in the intestines, eta, chiefly, they may be best reached through the stomach, in which case oils would appear to- be the form of the specific to reach them." I0VE HEVEE , G20WS OLD. A Widower, 88 Tears Old, Takes Oat a Mar riage Llcens. The unusual event of a man 88 years of age taking out a marriage license occurred yesterday. The intended bride is 58 years of age. The young dears appeared at the marriage license office and astonished Clerk Enory by requesting a licenss to marry. The intended groom gave his name as Alex ander Lowrey, born in Ireland, now resid ing in the Sixth ward, Allegheny, and a widower. His ocenpation, in bis own words, is that of "a private gent" The lady is Mrs. Janet Grav, a widow, 58 years of age, born in Scotland, now living in the Second ward, Allegheny. Tiie conple were neatly dressed and bore their ages well. The groom had been a large man in his yonnger years, but age had bent his shoulders, though the fire in his eye was unquenched. He answered the necessary questions in a straightforward manner, and when the required document was given him he departed with a look of pride and happiness and exchanged beam ing glances with his future partner. II WAS MADE TOO LATE. Frank FertU's Charitable Bequests In- operative Under the Lair. The will of the late Frank Fertig, of Allegheny, was filed yesterday for probate. He bequeaths 5500 to St .Mary's Church, Allegheny, for masses for his soul, and 200 for masses for the soul of his deceased wife. 5150 cash is given to the St Joseph's Orphans Home on Troy Hill audihe Little Sisters of the Poor, Washington street, Allegheny. The balance of his estate is divided among his relatives. The will being dated August 8, 1892, how ever, the charitable bequests are void, as they must be made 30 days prior to death. It is so easy to contract a cold which, from its obstinacy, may entail a long siege of discomforts before getting rid of it that the afflicted should resort at once to that old established remedy, Dr. D. Jayne's Ex pectorant, which will speedily remove all coughs and colds, and help you to avoid all complications involving the throat and lungs. A Hecommendntion From Illinois. "Wilmington, III., April 11, 1891. I woulfl say that I can recommend Cham berlain's Remedies as a number one set of family medicines such as every home should be provided with. You can rely upon their being as near what they are recommended as any medicine sold in this part of the country. Especially would I recommend Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhcea Remedy as having no equal for cholera morbus, colio or diarrhoea.
