Synopsis
Excerpt from Appendix (C) To the Report of the General Board of Health on the Epidemic Cholera of 1848 and 1849: Abstract of Report
As the cholera began to disappear dysenteric affections became very prevalent. These were often troublesome, and not unfrequently fatal; the chief peculiarity which they presented was the great prostration of strength attending them, but in other respects they did not differ from the ordinary dysentenes of this climate. 1 am inclined to attribute this dysenteric tendency to the too rigid adherence to an exclusive animal diet, which almost every one followed throughout the whole summer, and this view is strengthened by the fact, that the disease rapidly disappeared as soon as a proper admixture of vegetable food was taken.
