Fevers are very rare.
Scattering cases of Lung fever. Phthysis is rather common, though I should judge that the proportion of Deaths were less here than on the main or in other parts of this State. One other disease is common here among nursing women, which prove fatal very soon if neglected a short time. Sometimes astringents for the diarrhea, as Tri. vino. This morning the thermometer was down to 20 at 9 A.M., since which it has become much warmer.
