,EyEhDELPHZAA AGAIN THREATENED WITH
The FEVER.
FROM PHILADELPHIA, JULY rs.
i Our city has been agitAt=d, for lome days
haa. by reports of the exaance Of dangerous
5;feafe in and about be neighborhood of Vine
Md upper part Of Front itreet We had in
teRigated thsie reports, in order TO lay before
he public correa account. but as it is the
Srosince of the Board of Health, to give notice
j there be any danger. we thought II our duty
y wait their opinion in filence, conf ious that
4 any ground of alarm exifted, they would no
NV il Immediately -This lilence we fhould
ave obgerved-but the alarm has been FUND
q By morning paper ( The 4urOra) and il
<ehoves the public 10 liten to facts LEFT their
lar fhould overcome their judgment, and they
II the city when 20 real caufe for fight exits.
4 1t is c-tain, that 10 and about the neighbor
<ood of Vine and Front freet, feveral perfon,
lave ickened of dangerous fever, fome of
rhom have recovered, and others died in
hort trne-feveral fill remain fck, and many
Ire on the recovery. MoR of the perfons who
have been attacked, have excited oifeaf: by
over ezercife. and feveral by imprudsnce on the
nth of July We have not heard OF Jingle
|nrlon who has taken the difeale from thole
[rbo have been Eek. From thefe circumstances
NJ are inclined TO believe, thar the dileafe j.
Partial in It's operation, and confined to that
beiebborhood. From all the eng liries which
Ave bean made by the Board OF Healh, and
hey have been very plrticuarl, we believe there
Roes rot exit luificienr caufe 70 induce them TO
|oond the alarm. When it is recclleaed, that
u the Summer Of 1900, there e1ited dapge-
$ous fever in Loxley's Court in Spruce areer,
fhers more pcrfons were fick and more died
han have in Vine Greet and It's neighborhood
hen i is recolIe9ed hat in 1901, eight or ten
kerloDs died in one week in Eight itreet of
haligc ant infections fever, and yet IN both thefe
Fears its operation was foley confined TO thofe
klaces, and foon disappeared, we are iaclinei 10
link the ftme viii be the fate of the prrient
ea.aie. Especially when We conlider the FLU
kity of the air. AMI the mildneis OF the weather.
N Asto the manner Of It's Introduction to that
nsighborfood, il is very difficult TO determine.
4he facts and arguments are perhaps equally
nrong 10 favor Of lis import alton As It's domcitic
&ign. We leave the dilcunion of the fubleet
y profeiiional men. 1t the difea(e be hare il
na,ers not how it was introduced.
1 Upon the whole, from the known activity and
Patchful care Of the Board Of Health the pub.
r may erped immediate no, ice when there
Eilts real cauie. True Ansrican.
FROM rHR SAME PAPER OF July r9.
4 We are happy to find on ltria enquiry, that
n psrion in the neighborhood of Vine itreet
hart, or that has removed from that neigh
prhood to any other place, has been taken
e 'ince our la(t. from which circum iance we
ave room to hope that the late alarm will fub
He.
