The Convention framed by the Venice Conference of 1892 was ratified Ratifications
by Great Britain on the 2nd of August 1892 and by Turkey on the 13th ^^ n Cotl "
of February 1893. The Turkish ratification took place subient to the
remarkable condition that the Convention should not affect the ordinary
Sanitary Regulations of the Ottoman Empire nor any exceptional
measures which the Turkish Government^ in accordance with the resolu
tions of the Board of Healthy might see fit to adopt in time of epidemic
disease. Persia did not participate in the Conference nor did she adhere
to the Convention.
The seventli epidemic of cholera in Europe^ 1892-95.
In the year of the Venice Conference a severe epidemic of cholera
broke out in India and was carried by land with remarkable rapidity to
Europe, its progress being undoubtedly accelerated by the recently finished
Trans-Caspian railway. The stages by which the disease travelled are
not without interest. Starting from the fair held at Hardwar in India in
March 1892, it reached Kabul on the 19th of April. Herat on the l_st of
May, Mashhad on the 26th of May, Baku on the 18th of June, Hamburg
on the 16th of August, Grangemouth in Scotland on the 19th August,
and New York on the 3lst of August. Outside Russia, where 150,000
persons are known to have perished, and Germany, where a mortality
of over 8,500 was registered at Hamburg, its ravages in Europe
were not serious, and in America it never gained a footing.
Epidemic of cholera in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
, 1893.
The year 1893 witnessed a fresh outbreak of cholera in the Persian Turkish
Gulf ; it began, apparently, in Turkish 'Iraq, but in that country it was r I"
not so severe as the epidemic of 1889. The disease made its appeaiance
at Basrah in May and continued there till August, yet the whole number
of deaths at Basrah was estimated at 750 only. About the end of
August the cholera reached Baghdad, bringing the trade of the city
temporarily to a standstill; in October it again disappeared fiom the
place.
Meanwhile, ho we per, the infection had spread from Basrah down both ^ er9;9n
shores of the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
. On the Persian side 'Arabistan was attacked
in the month of June, and some loss of life occurred at Muhammareh
and on the upper Karun : nevertheless, during June and July, quaiantme
against Basrah was maintained by the Persian authorities ot the
province. Cholera appeared also in various parts of Pars, especially
upon the Bushehr-Shiraz road, and the village of Ahmadi m Dashtistan
suffered severelv ; but at Bushehr, quarantine having been imposed by sea
in June and by land in September and the wells of the town having been
secured, there was no mortality.
