Abstract
THE importance of our gaining clear ideas of the cause of cholera as soon as possible prompts me to venture to suggest the direction in which may be sought an explanation of the three propositions in NATURE (p. 26), and which “E. K.” there says “appear to me to be in hopeless contradiction.” The propositions are, substantially, as follows:—(1) The comma-shaped bacillus is the cause of cholera; (2) the alimentary canal is the exclusive organ of its entrance into the body; (3) the comma-shaped bacillus is killed by acid.
