The following amount of the epidemic at present

ing population mainly. It is the Debris recurreou, a malady
of a typhoid description, akin to malaria fever, and, although
now appears here far the first time, is set
uokaown to the faculty, having been astray observed
is Egypt. Ireland, and in some parts of the Russia Empire.
This disease has bees described by older observers as " the
remittent fever of mum climates," and has been cha-
racterised by some as identical with yellow fever. Protean+
Grissinger frequently met with it duringide stay is Oahe.
and considered it a sort of bilious typhoid fear, wider
which same he diagnosed and made the malady known.
Same the autumn of 1864 the disease has appeared in the
St. Petersburg and Moscow districts, in Odessa, Perm, and
New Archangel (Russian America). in an epidemic form,
and has been universally described in the same manner by
the physicians et the capital and provinces, but wider
different names, viz., febris warrens, ranitterie, a typhoid
form, Ac. At flret slight in character, it gradually increased
in virulence sad extent until it formed the main disease of
St. Petersburg during the winter ; it reached its highest point
'hi January last, is now decreasing, and is being succeeded
by typhus, which annually about this time amines an epi-
demic character. Workpeople of the lower dual are
chiefly attacked, males far more frequently than females.
and adults oftener than children. Medical men and attired.
ante upon the sick have fallen ill in considerable
numbers. The disease Half is of comparatively short dura-
tion, the general period varying from 8 to 10. 14 or 21 days.
A dull sense of general discomfort, luting from 24 to 48
hours, usually forms the preliminary stage. This is sew
aided by • violent and lasting attack of fever, auccopeoled
by great heat, vary high pules, redeem or yellows.= of the
akin, and strong excitenieut of the nervous system, but
mostly without delirium. Afters few days of more or lees
violent fever the attack is repeated once, in rarer oases twice,
sod the patient slowly and tardily begins to recover. Death
occasiosally happens during the first and most violent
stage, more rarely following in cossequeoce of the secondary
appearance. The proportiou of deaths to attacks is about 1
is 6. Statisticeshow that from August, 1864, to January,
1866, inclusive, 8,900 more sick were received into the hos-
pitals than during the corresponding period of 1863 to 1864.
This result, however, is not solely due to increase of dis-
may but is is part attributable to the emancipation of the
peasants, the serfs who were formerly treated at their own
homes or placed coder the care of their masters' medical
men being now transferred to the hospitals. The steps
taken by the government to meat the emergency are
upon an extensive scale. Seven buildings, forming the
barracks of the Ismailoff Regiment, have been converted
into asylums for the sick ; the number of beds in the chief
hospital has been raised from 1,200 to 1,500, and the
Alexaodrow Factory, an immense four-storied edifies in •
suburb, has been devoted to the reception of patients. The
fact of a few physicians, as well as General Stackelberg,
chairman of the committee for establishing sick asylums,
having fallen victims to infection, is rather a proof of the
devotion shown in caring for the sufferers then a motive for
increasing the panic as to our state of health, which by
the way appears to have risen to • much greater height
abroad than here.
