All wells should be submitted to the permanganate process (see 

 above) which is highly praised, but I personally prefer to rely upon 

 boiling. 



Corpses should— failing burning— be buried with chloride of lime. 

 Perhaps the best and simplest drugs to administer in the first instance 

 are castor oil, chlorodyne, and brandv (half an ounce of the oil, 25 drops 

 of the chlorodyne, and about one ounce of brandy) . Eucalyptus oil has 

 lately been highly spoken of, I have myself found a strongly carmi- 

 native mixture containing liq. hvdrarg. perchlor. a most useful 

 mixture. Colomel acted well in the Krian epidemic, gr. 1 every hour, 

 but I consider it requires careful watching. Haffkines cholera 

 vaccine should be given a trial, it has been well spoken of. 



Quarantine infected houses, lines, and towns. 



The most satisfactory method of dealing with infected houses isof 

 course to burn them, if impracticable, then disinfect them thoroughly 

 ™ I / ; 5 ,°°^ COrr0sive sublim ate. During the Pahang epidemic the 

 LUJ. (Mr. Mason) and I, burnt every house in which a case occurred 

 which was within two miles of Raub town, and I believe that action 

 had much to do with the fact that Raub remained clear. 



All excreta must be either burnt or buried. 



Contacts must be also isolated, and they should all be given some 

 acid mixture thnce daily in order to keep the stomach acid.
