It is most important, in view of the possibility of an outbreak of Cholera, that owners and keepers of houses should be more than ordinarily careful in the management of their property, thus supporting the Sanitary Inspectors in the diligent performance of their duties. I advise: -

1. That everywhere the utmost cleanliness should be enforced in respect to the condition of all areas, basements, cellars, kitchens, yards, and other damp and dark places, and that all rubbish, dirt, dust, and other offensive matters should be carefully, completely, and regularly removed.

2. That the closets, drains, and sinks of houses should be kept in a proper condition.

3. That the water butts and cisterns be kept free from sedimentary accumulations, and maintained in such a state that the water shall be sweet and wholesome: and further, that the water used for drinking purposes should be recently boiled.

4. That the water furnished by pumps and surface wells should be avoided for drinking purposes.

5. That the interior of houses occupied by the poor shall be, in all needful cases, thoroughly cleansed and lime-whited.

6. That in case of an attack of Diarrhoea, especially if it be without pain, immediate advice should be sought, either from the Medical Attendant of the family, or from the Medical Officer, appointed by the Guardians, for the District.

7. That it is imperatively needful that all discharges from the body should be immediately disinfected and rendered innocuous by the addition to them of Chloride of Zinc or Carbolic acid.

8. That all soiled clothing should immediately have boiling water poured upon it.

9. That a handful of Calvert's or Macdougal's Carbolic Powder or of Chloride of Lime, be placed three times a week in the dustbins, water closets, or privies.
