THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE.

brought before the public shall be i 



a price which will make it worth i 



about which we are not particularly sanguine. 



Cholera has nothing to do with Gardening, say 

 most men ; others maintain that it belongs to vege- 

 table as much as animal physiology— the Potato 

 disease being mere vegetable cholera ! Be that as it 

 may, the attempts now making to identify Cholera with 

 the attacks of Fungi bring the que.*' 

 Tmder our cognkance, and we make no apology for 

 admitting it to our columns. 



The independent researches of at least three ob- 

 servers, confirmed by several competent persons, in 

 whose hands the objects have been placed, go a great 

 way to prove that in rooms and districts infected by 

 Cholera, certain bodies are found in the atmoi 

 and water, which occur also in the rice-gruel i 

 ations, characteristic of the disease, and under other 



i size, in accordance with th<

growth in the way we have formerly recom- 

 mended, by placing a small drop of fluid, contain- 

 ing the corpuscles, on a slip of glass, covering it with 

 a plate of microscopic glass sufficiently large to leave 

 a ring of air round the compressed liquid, and simply 

 luting the edges of the upper glass with wax, so as 

 to cut off all communication with the external air. It 

 will soon appear, by their further progress, whether the 

 bodies from condensed air, water, and the several 

 choleraic secretions, &c, are identical. If the elliptic 

 bodies, which so strongly resemble the spores of fungi, 

 germinate and produce fruit, it will be seen that they 

 are not identical with the compound encysting cells, 

 and their fungous nature will be established ; if, on 

 the contrary, they proceed to a further deg:
