—A recent report of the French Commission for investigating the nature of cholera in Marseilles, shows an entire failure to produce cholera in rabbits or other animals by a great variety of experiments with the comma-bacilli, both as found in the intestines of cholera patients and by cultivation, and consequently it affirms the non-contagiousness of that disease.
The report describes a peculiar condition of many of the blood-copuscles, which the Commission regard as the essential pathological condition in epidemic cholera.
