Excerpt from A Treatise on Asiatic Cholera A chapter will also be found giving the history of the disease as observed in the United States Navy. The manuscript was kindly supplied by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery of the U. S. Navy Department, and the editor takes this opportunity of extending his thanks to said Bureau. It seems unnecessary to indicate in detail the plan and scope of the book. The editor may, however, be permitted to call special attention to the valuable article on the prevention of cholera, from the pen of Dr. J. B. Hamilton, surgeon-general of the Marine Hos pital Service, and the equally important contribution of Dr. G. M. Sternberg, on the destruction of cholera germs.
