By Mr. Sheriff Sewell, of the Committee appointed to collect facts connected with the existence of Asiatic Cholera, to form a foundation for the Final Report of the Local to the Central Board of Health, adopted by the Board on the 19th Sep- tember, 1849:— The Board of Health, for the City of Que- bec, in bringing their labours to a termina- tion, have naturally much that is pamful to recal to the recollections of their fellow citi- zens, thev have to mourn a large portion ot individuals, whom the prosecution of their trade or profession had drawn hither tem- porarily, whether as sailors or traders, and who have fallen under the virulent influences of the epidemic, which has of late afflicted us —Many too, who had left country kina- folk, and friends, with the intention of set- tling among us, whose labours would have brought wealth to the country, who only reached their destination to receive the last offices of kindness from strangers, and to die among some f them, not even being per- mitted to see the country of their adoption and of their newly created hopes— while too many alas ! are gone from among ourselves, who once ranked among our moat enlighten- ed, Gsleemed and useful citizens— and many of either sex swept, away whose absence will long be felt in their various circles, and whose unexpected and sudden removal is now being mourned by a cloud of beredved relatives and friends—these are sad reali- ties, to which the Board, in drawing public attention, would be criminally to blame, were they to omit the thankful acknowledgment of the mercy, which throughout this scourge, has tempered its severity, and given en- couragement to many, even in the midst of its most sweeping desolations. The Board of Health is an emanation from the City Corporation, having been called in- to existence through the powers of that body, and although formed very early in the sea- son—long before the appearance of asiatic cholera— yet from the accidental circum- stance of certain changes which were at the time uder iKe consideration of Parliament, and which subsequently passed into law. — The Board, originally formed after having been kept in suspense for a considerable time, was prevented from going into action, and the present Board appointed to succeed it, did not come into operation until the very eve of the breaking out of the epidemic — this is not mentioned with any intention of charging blame on any body of men — none being chargeable, but, to shew that disease came upon us without adequate previous preparation for its reception, which the Board thinks it important to notice. It is a matter of thankfulness that, al- though asiatic cholera cannot be stayed by any human endeavour, yet that its ravages may be mitigated by very simple precau- 3 I tionary measures within the reach of all communities— the cautious and moderate use of our ordinary food— cleanliness of booy and habitation— warm clothing, puro air and healthy water— and the avoidance of any of tie usually exciting causes of gene- ral malady and disorganization— these— ir is not to be doubted, if generally attended to, would materially and favorably affect the bills of mortality— unfortunately, in cholera as in many other matters, the negligence and criminality of individuals does not in- volve only themselves in danger; a depar- ture from temperance in food and drink, and a disregard of caution generally is fatal. It may be in the first instance where it is practised, but afterward the very accession of disease thus promoted— sometimes en- gendered by this negligence— spreads to other quarters, and the careful suffer with the negligent, trie innocent with the guilty. The Board purposely abstains from pro- nouncing any opinion on the contagion or non contagion of asiatic cholera, there is enough of uncertainty, in this question, which has occupied the attention and exer- cised the ingenuity of the loading and most enlightened members of the faculty, and everywhere a long and very scrutinizing ex- amination has resulted in the practical per- suasion of the propriety of the greatest pre- caution in all persons subjected to its in- fluences, while it is most satisfactory to know that all the offices of christian kindness may be performed towards the afflicted with little danger from infection, and certainly with much less cause for fear than the perfor- mance of the same duties in other diseases, ^i^hoso extent of o'rt and fllth-..,, "if "'J^, cleansed of m.rf," wharve,4U. of ^, ZT , '"■» ^» J^' JO 08 Cleansed whioh "~'° "a use sewer, '" oe tiiied up old Kroii„ ' V^? , ""dtocansa «». foundations of I!

Room* or Shops lighted up dur- ing the night where every person attacked by jncipient disease might at once be furnished with those medicines, which have been found efficacious in multitudes of cases in arrestincr the disease when taken in that early stage of Its existence.— This pJan~not their own "-the board has found most beneficial, and they may add most humane. It relieved many a poor man from the distractions of doubt and anxiety ; he felt, that if attacked with a disease whose termination he knew to be fearfully rapid he might at once apply for relief and this while medical assistance was Available. It kept hope alive within him. Jn some means if prevented the fatal insanity ot looking to spirituous liquors as hope of refuge and above all it tanght the, alj-impor- tant lesson to be learned in times of epide- mic— - ^^ hastening to the Board's Physicians-and this made all the diflference—many a man if he had been xequired to pay for relief thus furnished, would have delayed to procure it, until it was unavailable. -^ > ""* " The Board from the commencement of its labours would willingly have multiplied the number of the visiting Physicians until not a family was left without medical inspection and surveillance but actuated as it has been oy the strictest economy consonant with safety and a desire ^to husband to the utmost the funds so liberally put at us disposal, it I 6 found it imposible toonrrvm.* •♦- . • further on ifcis head ^°'" '" '"e,«'sany been n,?hl' h '?'?°''e'-s»f 'hat Commiltee have takes fhknn '*','" ■"'° '«P"'' ^"d 'he Board ouiescenL^P?K "•""J' "^ ''e-iterating its ac- 3^1 f J ^ '" "'^"' '■ecommendalion-iJ/ain, lller^'i^'^'',^"^"' ■' """'' 'h« Board con- heal h A 1"/"P''?L'''« "'«">«»"' of f"'"?e fiea th, these mm be obtained, before anv tTrtte"'''i'"'PVf '"""""'y ''an be en- tfrom r!^~''""'°" '.">«'« «"« ^'otims of spirituous ,"5°°™ and those poisoned by impure and its dTsol'a^ir'r' ^"' f™™ 'hem it Xpread Its desolations to every section of the town befnlaTelf ^'"""""r "^ "« inbabitants-i" of Asia^i7rho^""'^" ^'*"'.

It is not pretended that the want of drain- age and purr water, all important as these are, constitute the sole attributable causes for the aggravation of this disease in Quebec — there are others and as legitimate which may be assigned, some arising naturally out of her position, others which the Board re- gret to say, they consider disgraceful to her and at variance with the character she has hitherto sustained for peace and good order. It must not be forgotten that Quebec is a large Port filled to overflowing during the summer months with sailors, emigrants, raftsmen and farmers, the latter drawa hitherto by trade and in the view of supply- ing the large floating surplus population. — These congregate in ill ventilated houses which are tilled with excess, riot, drunken- ness and debauchery of every kind are to be found here, and in times of Epidemic, diseases and death as surely follow — added to these causes, during this season there have been additional and unwonted reasons foijhe spread of disease. The Epidemic has been materially increased by the mutinous conduct of sailors and others, first in the de- struction of the shipping-office and all the consequent drunkenness excitement and want of precaution, and next in the demoli- tion of the interior of the Custom House, which building had been given up by the Corporation to the Board of Health and was about to be made a Hospital and refuge for patients recovering- from cholera.

The safety of a town cannot be supposed to depend even remotely on any hastily appointed Board collected on the very verge of sickness, it is only by continuous well directed per- severing efforts in times of health and pros- perity that any preparation can be made tor epidemic sickness and the introduction ot foreign malady and danger, particularly ot so formidable, so relentless, so destroying a disease as Asiatic Cholera— if these premises are founded in truth, this is the time for pre- paration, we know not how soon it may be among us again. It was only two years after Asiatic Cholera first visited us m 183^ that it returned and so far as our citizens were sufferers with increased violence; who will say that in 1850 or 51 we shall not be visited again? who will assert that it may not become endemic? and who can doubt the wisdom of being prepared so far as hu- man suggestion and foresight may avail to meet it?" and it may be to mitigate by wise precautionary measures its virulence and its ravages. . . Bv reference to the accompanying accounts of the Board, it will be found with how much economy they have acted, their total ^ expenditure amounts to £862 199. 8d., while the amount expended for drainage cleaning the town is X262 ISs. lOd., which having I 12 properly be considered a"^b«t;' ""'y '""^ ordinary city expenditure Iml^h^!"^ '" '^e being eseeniiaJiv neo^LJ "V^o'^ono •ng , of the pa«icular 1? ■ •""* '^«" be- would have Cn "'", • '""'""es relieved. not made ils anpearSfh •',"'" "Solera bad fore being ded^o^edfrorif^" "'""«• 'here- of the Bolrd'a exnen.l^T ''®"'"'' amount a» Ihe total peouniaTv c„u^ ^, ^^ considered o"l of the appea?arZ ?f a" "'^ ''''^' ""^'ng the present Vear, 1848 """= "^^^'o^^ iS , ine Board of Hsniih' • ■ Plose their report, sul™',!^' P^'^^P^ here improvement for the °^,1"^^ measures of immediately w.thin iheTr P^n"-' ^^'""^ "« however, as forming, dul. r'"°^— S'iH, ? component part ofThe C,".? r^" ef slence i« fact a Sub-Comm mL nf^.K^""',!'"' <''«'"§ may ivell be supposed !!h '^ """ '""'>■) «hey the welfare of the c' y if "^^ f 'Merest i^ them to say that no suTer «^t^ ''r^ Permitted disease of an epidemie LT^ "^ miligating gesled than theadmhn'fT """ *>« «"g- Provements which ?rZ !■ ""^ ''*."°"« i™- heen succpssfully inT„ i'""^ '" '""e have •h'?kly populatei^ dTsS'-'l """"» «" which have done ,o m" k' ""P'o^ements poorer classes. tZ h"°^ '" ^'^'""e the enumerate the buihii„„ '/'u"^^'' scarcely poor into which many VodJi""'"^ ^'" 'h^ modern growth are tn u™"?'""''. comforts of sewerage of wLh the ^al,""'"'' ™P™^ed f J by the stress laid uno„ ,",^ j""^? be jndg. the many works or reS n.! u- ^"^ ""^ of «""ne«.c comfort, thTZnrt'^uS ^f' 13 cements ay now : to tho as done eli be- lieved, ira bad there- mount ilanee idered rising 3ra in here ?s of ^g so Still, ence eiug they it in ttei ting ug- Im- ive ail nts Ihe L'^ of 2d of 3f )f water given to the poor at a rate within their means the great luxury of public Baths — of which till very lately the people of England were ignorant, but are now reaping the be- nefit and the pleasure, public wash houses with a great variety of other important im- provements. — These may not all be within our reach at the moment but many might be advantageously introduced at once and others would follow in rapid succession, and it may here be added, although it is not the inten- tion of the Board to particularize any of those or other improvements nor to offer any spe- cial suggestions of prominent prevention which it considers more especially to belong to the Corporation, jet it cannot permit this opportunity to pass off without impressing on that body and the public generally, the ne- cessity for the thorough inspection of the wharves, closes, yards of the city after the opening of the Spring, when their places are almost always found to need cleaning from the accumulated dirt of the winter. If public attention could only once be turn- ed to these matters, many mountain obstacles would dwindle to nothing before an energe- tic determination to overcome them — not a modern improvement could be introduced among us which would not eventuate here as elsewhere in an accession of wealth to the City. Of all formidable undertakings in the eyes of our citizens, that of introducing Gas appeared the most gigantic and the furthest beyond the means of our quiet-loving citi- zens, and yet Gas came at last almost unso- licited and without an effort, and men now look on their indolent fears and wonder aft their want of energy. Gas, it is admitted on 14 all hands, will give a handsome return to the spirited promoters of it. Water, so essential toheahh and life, would give afar greater return. An increased interest in civic af- fairs would be materially beneficial as in- creasing the economy of the governing body and giving life and energy to its movements. Were the city improvements carried on with energy and in pccordance with modern modes of doing business, and the principles of taxation somewhat altered, there is no doubt but our City Rulers would soon find an increase of power and money at their command, and citizens of every grade would feel the benefit which would accrue to them frona these changes, not as regards their fin- ancial welfare alone (of that we are not en- quiring now,) but in what is of vastly greater importance their health and that of their re- latives and friends; and we should soon be put in the way of obtaining all those modern improvements, of which mention has been made, and which almost every town in Eu- rope and America now po. messes, while we with folded arms are groaning under the magnitude of our supposed liabilities and in want, the meanwhile, of the very elements of social comfort. The board rejoices in being permitted to add in conclusion, that the almost total dis- appearance of asiatic cholera has enabled it in the exercise of a sound discretion so far to break up its establishment as to cease its daily meetings, for the future, and to incur no further expense with the exception of the pay- ment of a Health Inspector at a reduced rate. Keeping itself, however, so far organised that at any moment, should it be unlifvppily 18 ' required, at the call oflho President it, can re-enter on its duties without a moments de- lay and with whatever efficiency it has man- ifested during its operations.
