Si. bound. What is the principal epidemic season at Constantinople and Smyrna?—They are very different; the earliest in the year is at Smyrna, it occurs from February mid March to June or July; it is considered generally to terminate about the 24th of June. At Constantinople it commences in July or August. awl terminates in November or December. Do you know the time at Cairo V—Much about the time as at Sows's; it scents to corrcepond with the rising and falliog of the Nile. Then at Constantinople the period in much the same as in England !—Tes ; hot I must observe, that they ma, he occasionally anticipated or postponed, accorilitie to I hose eircitopotances which produce the cause; .1 the epidemic state of the air be not intense, but other causes are ropers'. ing, then the autumnal season is less distinguished for the severity or extent of the disease, over the other ttea , olis of the year. Having stated the causes that io your opinion led to the plague, what are the comma which operate to produce its crmation!—An alteration in the qualities of the atmos phere, together with the disappearance of the other causes, when these are also operating. Is that alteration in the state of the atmosphere. a change from heat to cold or from cold to heat, or from both?—lt does not appear that it is at all connected with the change from hest to cold. except in as far as sudden to-attrition, are concerned. To illustrate my observation; they commence in England and's:other conntries is hot weather, and terminate in cold : in Egypt and Syria they com.nence is cold weather, and terminate in hot. When you talk of cold weather in Egypt and Syria, do you mean cold weather as compared with the previa.s keit, or cold weather as marked by 1 he state of the thermometer ! —As compared with the ordinary heat, with the average heat of the year. Si, that, if that he the ease, the plegwe mishit remit dar ing so into use frost, provided that frost came Its suddenly, just as well as it might in a much more moderate degree of cold ; supposing in that case also a sudden variation of tem. "perature!—That I could only speculate upon, not having any precise facts to go upon. In your opinion would a violent frost put an end to the plague ?—1 do not conceive it necessarily would, unclg nerted with other circumstances. Do Taos think that dryness and moisture, and not heat and cold, are most cauducive to the plague?—The excess of either. Dill you ever hear of the plague in India!—l never did. But there is a great r h auge there in the dryness and moisture, and in the heat and cold!—Very likely; but I have nut ascribed the plague to any of those cireurnstaoces alone. Have you ever knows, or heard of contagion in the East Indies!-1 have not among the natives. Do you conceive the clothes sold out of the peat bosp!tals would produce the plague ?-11Indouliteilly they would, if the plague were contagions. They could nut fail to produce it ; hat it is customary for the relations of those who die of the plague is Turkey to wear the clothes of the deceased, or Instil them in the public bazaar or market-place; they are in constant circulation. I used to walk into the city of Con stantinople every day, sometime , even after I had the disease, and go through the thickest of the people along with my in terpreter. visiting the roffee.hou4P% and other frequented places. They knew we were making experiments in the plague hospital, and none of the Id ahrometims ever avoided as on that account, nor was the disease by that means pro. mated. The purveyor, and other stouts of the hospital, walked every day to the open minket to buy their supply of victuals for the hospital ; they came openly among the peo ple without any precaution. These were Greeks?—Yes; hut they went among the Mahonietans. - - Do you not conceive that any peculiar chance in the it. mosphere would put an end to any epidemic disorder, sop. posiuz it to becontagioiss?-1 do not admit that it would, whilst the contaciou had subjects to operate upon, that had not become wisusecptible. Yon hare stated, that in your opinion epidemic diseases cannot become contagions, do you consider the influenza on epidemic disease?—Slost certainly. You are aware of course of the cotiorgnences of influenza in the island of St. Kilila?-1 cannot say that I am. Thomas Foster, M.D. rally! in, awl examined. You practise as a physician?—l iln. Have yon any information you ran give the Committee, upon the subject of the contagion of site plague ?—I have in) pers o nal oh lions to make upon the plague. I lave you been in countries where the plague has prevailed ? Have you read on the subject of the plague?—l have. Have you formed an opinion?—Yea. Favour the Committee with your opinino on the subject of the plague?-1 conceive, ender elegem cireamslaaces, it is contagiuua; fur instance, wherever there be c lo n e eue fipc. mesa in a dumber, in which atinurplierse air is not freely admitted, but if atmospheric air he freely admitted into the chamber of the patient, the attendant will be, generally waking, free from wintagiitn. Do you runsitkr that we have had ra•ea of the Levant plane in F.nglasid?—Certainly not, in my memory. From your reading or inquiries, lu you conceive that the plague of 1665 was lite Levant plague-4 should be inclin ed to think out. What do you surname to be the sp• rifir mark. of the plague, generally speaking?-1 should think perhaps the bubo, and that kind of eruptive affections. And the carbuncle?—Yes; as constituting distinctions from the generality of pestilential disown-a. Did you never know the typhus fever marked with 01111. nlferlimui?—l have known cases 4 typhus fever in which glandular affections have occurred; but it would he diarcolt to runnerl them as Canso an.i egrets with the fever,. as the, . left have witten trots entempurary canoes. Have you nark stay inquiry u to the exiateue of the Dial the them times die?—He died (I believe of spopleity) oboist threeyawutb. after the last attack. You do nut consider that a cireuvossawor ilimisive against its being contagions, that the disease rhombi affect a patient several tiones?—Not absolutely decisive against the meta. gongs nattere of the disease. Is contagion a modern term, or is it mentioned in ancient writeis?-1 do not recollect the word contagion occurring iu eery ancient writers. I. it not in liippocrates?—l do not think it. What do yon rail infection and contagion ?-4 consider contagious diorama such as are capable of being communi cated he contact and inoculation; but infectious diseases are those that arise from the infecting state of the atmosphere You do not think that a person could catch an infectious disorder from another ?—I consider that some diseases, which are infections. nifty be afterwards Cusu nuns irate ! by contact. Du you think a person labouring limier She coming near a person in perfect health, could Guinn rate to him lie same specific disease, merely by toorliiiig him?—With respect to coming near, I consider nut, dike air around him irs. good ativinspheric air, but by contact I am not certain; I speak with caution. Do you think the plague could be common cubit ion ?—That fact I have no knowledge of. by ino. You would consider it • contagious 'Moose if • person came into a room in perfect health, end was afterwards mixed with the disease?-1 should think the conjanction of the two causes too marked to be overlooked. You have said, you place littk dependence upon the com mon oenological distinctions?—Very By what signs do you discover ore fever from another ? Fever includes a "way large class of disorders; some are coutintions. Di you distinguish small-pox from the measles ?—Yea ;by the nature of the eruptions. You say, small-pox sad measles are cootinuteos?—They are continimus while measles last. Doer do you distinguish the small-pox from the measles? —By the nature of the eruptions. What die pot consider as the distinctive character of the plague ?—The nature of the glitoduler allectious aad the es epilogs. You consider that epidemic or infectious disease* may become coutsgious , —Come of them. Are those signs by which you know the small pox front the mask', sod the plague from both, nosological distinc tions of your own?—Of my own, in common with other physicians, in those three caws. Did you not say, you placed very little reliance on those distinctions ?-1 mesa to say, thus during • time of pesti lessee the fever which attacks one penmen may vary in its symptoms from that which attacks another, in consequeuce of constitutional predisposition ; Nether, consiiintious tie ing almost infinitely variable, the variety of the f los comes endless, and the symptoms apparently confused ; but yet there are decidedly marked cases, in which I would ven ture to give a name 10 a fever. And you would my, is these cams both permits had the plague ?—los certain cases. Though the disorder in the two shwa vary considerably? Tote 'Mall then know the two disorders to be the same, with such a variety of symptoms?-1 conceive Ike symp toms might vary so, as at first tee pussle the most expo skewed. Then how could you pronounce that both these persons had the plague?-1 cook only do so if I discovered symp. turns in common with the two. liVould those symptoms which they exhibited in common, be sorb as to make you pronounce the disease in gettersl to be the some in both?—ln the generality of cases. Are those symptoms the symptoms which you would cell the distinctive symptoms of that disease?—They are disi inc. tire symptoms where they occur in a distinctive 11101111C1; I consider, from the peculiarities of the human constiiiition, the same disease becomes SO various in its symptoms and character, as to he frequently mistake*. 1)o you suppose the typhus fever, fur installer, in a change of the sir, could ever be converted none the plague ?—I have no direct evidence from my own observations of what I have seen of dee deluge of air is the seorth of Europe, to expect Buy change of atmosphere here, which world convert typhus into plague. Do you think that a person taking one contseinite die ts...ter, say the small-pox, from another, might take it with such a variety of constitution as that the disorder when it appeared in him should not he the small-pox but some other fever!-1 never saw any thing that warranto such a conchs- Pipit in cuss of the small.poxe whirls disease I consider to be must decided in its character of any of our eruptive diseases. The small-lax was only taken for example; would you say the same of any other contagions fever?-0f the gene rality of continuous revere, which can be communicated by contagion. Would you say that of the typhus and measles?—No. Wonkl you say that of the typhus and scarlet fryer am nut aware that a patient predisposed to scarlet fever would be susceptible of taking It. Have you formed any opinion of mar quarantine esta blishments, from the inquiries you have made respecting the placate ?—1 have considered she quarantine catabliahments wily as they related to the medical question, ise what man. Der sloe plague in capable of being roma/imitated ? and the result of my iuyairiew have hers satisfactory to myself, that the free admission of atmoopliesie air into chambers was, is general,. preveuuve against the propagation of the dia. case. Do yew rertreive that any rare respecting ventilation 'could reveal a sound penumi (tom catching the smallpox b) persons cunning wear him all persons. Vow have mated, that in all your inquiries you have never ascertained that the plague ha. happened ?—I have made inquiries in different ports of England and Wales, and even ' .un the shores of France, sod I could never fond an instance. Do you conceive there is a necessity for the 141111111111ille laws, having that fact first established?-1 am incapable of deteranniag whether thus fact of the nuo•occurreure of Plato , is to be referred Si, the active operation of quarantine, ur whether we must not refer it to the isicapalutity of the plague being propagated by the general awl supposed niesias. If the plague has not• occurred in the ships arriving at riaarairline stations, nor in the Idosarction, should you then wive shore was a 'overall, for tho.c establiahmrists?-1. sh old think it would greatly diminish tirr arcrasity. If it bad print occiarred few 50 or InCi years, what should you say ? —1 shush! be nnwilling to deny the absolute ne cessity, ball should speak set, confident ion the other siJe. Do you not think it possible a chip with the plague 011 board might arrive at our 'wagon, awl at the same lime t',e , state of the atososphere be such as out to sprvail, an , ' another lilet it nueht be such as to spread ?—That is my own private opinion; bu► I consoler the (sets on ohmic! , it is founded not yet sufficiently nuitarsd. If the fact be ascertained, that the plaette has never been found on bused a ship arrivitu in this country, ur in Ole Lsearetto. would not that be sufficirut In etrciAr the ism ti. lily of the quarantine laws?—lt would be a very good reason. Are you acquaitstayl with any authentic account of th. plague baviug been communicated by bale goods hale heard it mentioned, but I newer heard it anthenticatril. Du you think it may he rommiiiiicateil by them?—That depends upon the degree with which they are infected. Do you suppose that one .loca-tiottoos ginids i. more cr.- liable of receiving and retaitiTng infection than ot her.; is it not generally supposed that woollen and cation goods are' —They a►e non-condocturs of hest, and ttierefoic may per haps be It,. liable to emit effluvia readily. Have you ■ny other rearm' why they ere more likely to receive and retain infection !—Not as to these article►. But it is supposed that they are more capable of retaining infection!—lt ; but I know of au facto to rapport it. Supposing other bole goods are capable of receiving in fection, how would you veultla'e should con ceive that the must difficult of all modes of preventing in. fiction. Theo supposing that Finch hale goods are capable of re. ceiving and retaining infection, and adnnaml.!C lite chOiruhy of ventilation in those instances, should you out conceia e it would be a very kagardous experiment to remove all pre cautions with regard to the influx of 11.11%r good% into Log land, coming from countries in which the plazur prevailed —I most answer that, by just sistitag the view I lake ref this particular branch of the subjrcl, which is, that if hate goods be capable of receiving the infection in the la Tatit, PO IN/ to coeurey it all the way to London, the *hurt lama li mited fur quarantine would be insufncient to prevent the a Rag !T.

Have you had an opportunity, by •xperinare or i•sdirt r to form an opinion respecting the plague, and the probab:- lily of its being attended with contagion ?—I have not r tinselly seen the plague; I have served is the Mediterranean, where I had opportunities of anloiring information. State your opinion respecting its being root/14)41?-1 have not she team doubt of its being contagion•. Do you consider it as elifli4(11111111 of thin] an well as per sons consider it rontaginos through the medium of con tact, near approximation, or exhibition, and fumites. In what way communicable ?—Ry actual contact, by near approximation, as by the breath, secretions, exhalations, &e. its activity being drpendeut on the particular slate of the atmosphere. Then you consider that the articles of cargo ran he infected, and thereby become likely to communicate the plague to per stms?—l consider the articles of cargo not so likely as clothes ; I consider packages not to he nom . so likely to, transmit or bring contagion, as the articles of dirty apparol. But still yon consider, that the plague infect ran lie eommsnicated Ity articles of cargo to persons ?—li is nut very proltahle, though possible. Do you mean clothts that have been worn ?—Clothea that have been worn. - _ - —...• Ilseu you rather exempt goods?-1 think they are nut near so likely; brcaussr *lwo they are pocked and morn. factored, they are nut likely to have people labourine under the plague about them; and consequently the probability us nut near so great. rut still it is probable?-11 is possible that some particu lar goods might by arcidetit lustsg the contazion. Specify what goods?—l shoals, think cottons more likely. Do you suppose silk and wool?—Silk and,wool. • Corn do you suppose?—No. I should think not so likely ; becasse I know that in woollen clothes the fornites of other contagious is snore generally retained than in nay other sob stances.

Of c.• 110.1 you consider it as easy to purify thu , o more, I think, is necessary than ventilation; free vcuula lion, and opening them out 10 the action of the son and lair What do you think of the interior of bales?—l think it horsily necessary to expose all the isiters-ir pasts, but thse it is going far enough to expose iudividisat bales 311. l p ac k a ger to the f r ee a c tion of the atmospheric air and Ow Do you consider that goods infeetesl with the nieigne are often posies', and divested of infection?-1 think it is 1.). ireariely seldom that coniagson is brought to g Is; but Doti the !unification is noire frequently a process of ilk.. precaution than of mental dispersimeof the sontagiou. Should you consider that, as far as respects goods arid • cargoes, she quarantine rstablishinent may be rosi.ostes•sd • oarless ?—No ; but I think the laws are too rigid ; the 111111 V is low long, and probably the process too cumpticateilA but • . • .
