Sir, no man rsfpeas the opinions Of
ply Gcians more than 90, having The ho-
nor Of being one myiclf; bur from nv We
ry hyperion knowledge, | do not heii;ate
TO Gay they are, in this inGaree, mifak-
en-, and all Others of their opinion.
So far from being ccniidered as mi

/, has been lately dilcovered ard ac-
knowledged by men Of the frf under
BANDING, that the eiEluyia, or vapouT,
ariling from hagnaed wafer, puifid We
getables, carrion, sc. &c. IS extremely
conducive TO health, and is not only Ger
tain cure, but perfect antido'e againit
bilious and confunlptive eomp'a nts, ard
al Others uiua in the fummer feafon.-
OF this I have abundant proof by letters
from the mott diainguifhed characters in
Europe. My laf from my particular

10 the one aforementioned.
IF the Council ihould be hardy enough
TO caufe the ground to be flied up, they
would do The town and neighbourhood a
very ferrous injury, and ought to be pre-
tented TO the next grand jury OF the
county.
am informed il has been inconGderars-
~ obisrved, by fone eminent ply flcians
at the northward, that the Yellow Fever
glay be produced in America from local
caufes, by fuch places as before defcribed.
Oaite mifase All wrong, Sir II
i'm firmly Of opinion that had there been
n Philadelphia and New York, more
places filled with }agnant water, sc. a
ihe'time of the yellow fever, it would
nave checked the diieafe, & faved the lives
Of thoufands, which, in my opinion, were
iacrifced by mitiaken attention TO air
and Cleanliness.
With bea wines for the PROPERTY Of
the town and yourfelf,
