Detroit Must Prepare for Cholera
We are informed by a gentleman who has recently come from the South, that the health of Memphis and Nashville is misrepresented by the telegraph; that the mortality from cholera is much greater than has been reported. If this is to be a cholera year, Detroit will be more or less exposed to it, and it is high time to make ready. There are too many ill-smelling sewer vents and choked-up sewers to make the city cholera proof. The Board of Health and the Sanitary Police ought to be moving in the matter already. If Detroit is visited by the cholera, it will not be healthy for them, if they neglect their duty now.—Post. FRED DOUGLASS once said that you could no more silence a wrong-headed man by answering him than you could get the ding out of a brass kettle by pounding on it.
