"IS CHOLERA CONTAGIOUS?" This communication has been received; but we
must decline opening up a question which is now obsolete. In a late meeting of the
Royal Medico-Chirurgical Society, where Dr. Budd brought forward the subject on a
large statistical scale, not a voice was heard in favour of the contagion of cholera!
Why then agitate the question more? Even if the doctrine were proved, its withering
influence in case of another outbreak would be productive of dreadful evil-and if the
doctrine be untenable, which we believe it is-how unjustifiable to scatter doubts on
the subject. We do not like to incur the responsibility. The paper will be delivered to
the author, or any other person whom he may depute to receive it.

Dr. Churchill's paper will be attended to in our next.

Mr. Fiddes' communication was received too late for the present number.

To Palazzo and several other querists we have to state that we know nothing of the
Court transaction alluded to, beyond the rumours which have been publicly dissemi-
nated in the newspapers.
