Sanitary precautions against cholera

(La Esquella de la torratxa, Barcelona, 1885)

Don’t be overly fearful.

Don’t have excess confidence.

Maintain the same hours of eating and working as always.

Since you get more cholera when it’s quiet at night, the quiet ones will go out during the day. (?)

Don’t eat much!

And don’t eat too much.

And most importantly, don’t eat melons, watermelons, or tomatoes.
