As soon as it reached Tiflis it was evident that it would be brought here by the people of this part of the country who come and go in such large numbers, unless measures were secured to stop it. I urged the authorities repeatedly to be prepared to establish a quarantine, being confident that our plain could be protected by a guard at its three entrances. From time to time this request was repeated, but I was always met with what seemed to them very serious objections. In the meantime, we publi...shed a pamphlet in Persian and Syriac on cholera, its nature, the mode of its propagation, and the means of prevention and treatment.
