principally child.en- The disorder most
fatal has been a malignant putrid sore
throat. Gradually has il extended to adults
and the disorder is in almost all cases fatal;
when il falls from the throat to The stomach
and lungs. The towns of Bath and Lyman,
situated on the New Hampshire side of the
river directly above Haverhll, have encoun-
tered mortality to an extent equal almost
to the destruction by the cholera in 1892 in
some of orr cities. Lyman has popula.
ton of 500, and Bath 1900 souls: lie mum.
Der of deaths from the first Of February TO
