Of fever which occurred in Augusta, Ca,
have been spread abroad, we have thought
proper to lay before our readers. the sun
joined report of The Mayor of the City -
MAYORS OFFICE.
Augusta, August 2lsr, 1885 Pm.
During the early part of The last week,
five cases of Fever occurred in the second
Ward Of our city, which terminated fatal
ly on the 18th and 10Th inst. Some ap-
prehensions having been excited by this
unusual circumstance, have consulted
the medical gentlemen in relation to The
character and supposed origin ofthe dis
ease.
The Faculty have reported, that the dis
ease alluded to, varied in no material fea-
lures from those frequently exhibited in
the ordinary summer and autumnal fevers,
of all southern clnatrs-tha' il was neither
infectious nor contagiouS-that it was con.
fined to narrow limits, and ori riginated in
some local causes, which have since heen
removed. The general health OF our city
was never better than at the present mo-
ment. By preserving attention to the
cleanliness of line lots, feel assured thar
our citizens will be enabled to maintain the
reputation Of Augusta, as the healthiest
City in the Southern States.
