EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Cholera Precautions in England: Dr. Thorne's Sailors Hospital, 1892 This evocative sketch portrays the Sailors Hospital in England during the cholera scare of September 1892. Amidst growing concerns over the importation of the disease from Hamburg, Dr. R. Thorne, the Chief Medical Officer of the Local Government Board, assured the public that no cases were known to exist in the British Isles. A few isolated cases had been identified among incoming travelers, but they were successfully contained within the hospital. To prevent the infection from spreading beyond the hospital walls, extraordinary measures were taken. Fires were lit around the perimeter, creating a protective barrier against the disease. The intense heat was believed to neutralize any cholera bacteria that may have been present in the hospital grounds or on the clothing of the infected patients. The public, reassured by Dr. Thorne's statements, could rest easy knowing that the disease had been stamped out in their homeland. However, this sketch serves as a poignant reminder of the fear and uncertainty that accompanied the threat of cholera and the lengths that medical professionals and authorities went to protect the population.
