the parish of Great Horwood. The township con-
tained a population of 70f in 1851; and 125 had
been attacked-18 killed by the fever up to July 9,
the date of his report. He shows how the village,
on the ridge of a Mll, in a parish pleasantly wooded,
with fine pastures and fruitful corn fields, occupied
by a population wholly agricultural, was attacked
by the fever ; how the first case, appearing about
Michaelmas in last year, occurred in one of the best
houses in the place. The patient had been at Buck-
ingham, and there was much fever at the time. He
then tells how the brothers and sisters of the ser-
vant, and the servant herself, finally fell in their
home ; how all the people of a room over filthy
water, in the worst house in the parish, were at-
tacked, and three of the family died ; and then how*
the inmates of a new row of houses and of old cot-
tages were visited by the village plague. He sums
up by ascribing the continuance of the disease
during the last nine months in various degrees to
contagion, overcrowded dwellings, putrescent mat-
ter, and an insufficient supply of fresh air, or, as it
is called, bad ventilation. The evil is most griev-
ous in the sleeping rooms. "We can do no more,"
said one woman, " than keep clean that which sve
have. We cannot get our landlord to hive us more
air, or make the windows we have to open.
Women,' he said, are best shut up.' " I often
awake stifled," said anoth:r woman, " and me and
my husband go and sit at the window." The poor
people, however, can remedy the other great evil
from which they suffer ; " accumulations of muck,
filth, and piggeries close to human dwellings." Here
is the type of fever and its causes in agricultural
districts.
