Abstract The rationale of this bibliography is fully set forth in the introduction to a previous section (A Bibliography of Internal Medicine: Scarlet Fever, Stanford M. Bull. 10: 114, 1952). Suffice it to say that it is designed mainly for readers with general interests, although within its scope it attempts to be definitive. I have found no really comprehensive modern bibliography of cholera. Much of the early literature deals with descriptions of outbreaks or epidemics, and this phase of the subject is comprehensively dealt with by Hirsch (Ref. 10) as well as by C. Macnamara, in "A History of Asiatic Cholera," London, Macmillan & Co., 1876. A good general account of the disease is that of H. Harold Scott, in his "History of Tropical Medicine," Baltimore, The Williams & Wilkins Company, 1939, Vol. 2, p. 694. C. Liebermeister's "Cholera Asiatica und Cholera Nostras," Wien, Alfred Hölder, 1896, has appended to it References 1. "The whole of Europe is little more than a vast advertisement, in which are announced, in colossal letters, the admirable recipes for the preservation against and the cure of this disorder. Here cincture is advised, there an elixir is lauded, and everywhere we meet abundant proof, that if this is the age of intelligence, knavery is not less on the increase. But even among men of the utmost science and purest intentions, equal diversity of sentiment prevails. One advocates venesection, while another as energetically cries it down. Sedatives and stimulants, emetics, cathartics and specifics, each have their strenuous supporters. It is worthy of remembrance too that these discussions are the fiercest among the actual witnesses of the disease." 2.

Abbot, M.D., Boston, Alfred Mudge & Sons, 1867.
