Influence, of holera Cupon Pregancy and the Foetus.—In the Gazette
Medicale of October 13th, this question is investigated by M. Bouchut.
The result of inquiries seems to be that the pregnant state is no safe-
guard against cholera, and that after the third month abortion generally
occurs, if the attack of cholera lasts beyond twenty-four hours. In
those more rapid cases, the woman often dies without expulsion of the
uterine contents. The effects on the foetus are generally fatal, even
where premature labour occurs, as at the seventh or eighth month; the
infant is born asphyxiated. [This we have ourselves witnessed.—
