Ponytail Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Cholera 1832 The Sheffield Mercury 26th June 1832 Reporting there was reason to fear a spasmodic case of Cholera had occurred. A person named Foster who arrived from Thorne a few days before, died with the symptoms of the Asiatic Cholera. Every possible precaution was to be taken, some other out of town public burial ground be provided for any victims, where they were not likely to be disturbed. The causes of Cholera were announced. It attacks chiefly the dirty, the idle the drunken and the disorderly. Those wishing to escape Cholera should be sober, industrious, steady, keep themselves and their houses clean. At Public expense a Cholera House of Recovery and conveyance to, was to be provided. No one would be forced to go but people would be made aware of the advantages.

It was faded and very difficult to read when I first viewed it on the microfilm reader 30 years ago. Photocopy wasn't much better. Only have my phone to photograph it, improved on it! Not enough! 😂🤣 Must get to grips with the phone tech. Tozzin do you realise it's the first time I've been able to read it properly. 😂😂🤣🤣 Thanks again.
