4THE CHOLERA.
“Although it cannot be said that we are altogether free from the cholera in the town, yet it is gratifying to know that the disease is declining. Only three fatal cases have been reported this week-viz., a man, named Macguire, in Mellon-street, a youth of 15 in Fothergill-street*. and a child in Pillgwenlly. There is comparatively little diarrhoea, and the health of the town may, all things considered, be regarded as satisfactory.”
Monmouthshire Merlin, 29 Sep 1866, P5
