Excerpt from The Cholera, God's Scourge for the Chastisement of the Nations: A Discourse Delivered on the Occasion of a Fast Observed in Reference to the Approach of the Epidemic, Oxford, Ohio, August 16th, 1833Other new and peculiar diseases, which have sprung up at an advanced period in the history of the world, such as the small pox, yellow fever, and even the plague, have been found capable of being either anticipated in their attack, or mitigated in their severity, by certain preventives or preparatives, or checked in their march by sanatory restrictions. Not so With the Cholera. Not that I would say all precautionary measures are entirely useless. But no precautions have ever been found sufiicient to prevent its approach, or se cure from its attack. It has broken over all physical and moral barriers alike, and moved on in its deadly course unobstructed by any sanatory or quarantine regulations. No place and no individual in its course can count upon security. All we can do in such circumstances, is under a sense of our utter powerless ness, to throw ourselves implicitly upon the protection of the God that made us, in whose hand are our life and breath, and whose commissioned minister of destruction the Cholera is.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
