HC Deb 07 July 1873 vol 216 c1854
MR. DENT

asked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether he will issue without delay, to Sanitary Authorities, plain directions as to the precautions to be taken for preventing the spread of Cholera, and also instructions as to the treatment of the disease, should it unfortunately reach this Country?

MR. STANSFELD:

Sir, Plain directions as to the precautions to be taken for preventing the spread of Cholera have been prepared; but we do not propose to do what has never been done before to my knowledge—namely, to give directions to the medical men in the various localities as to the treatment of Cholera.
