The BLACK ToNGUE.-A very malignant
disease under this name is said to have pre-.
vailed III the north westerly part of Sarato'
ga county,-(not in the neighborhood of
Ballston, as some of the papers have it but
some thirty miles off, in the lower valley of
the Saratoga,) which has carried off con-
siderable number Of persons. We have
seen no other description of it, but the fol-
lowing in a letter TO the Boston Mail.
The disease sometimes commences with
a swelling of the gland of the throat, but
more generally | believe with a soreness at
the lower extremity or "roots" the tongue
soon becomes swelled to an enormous size,
and, unless soon relieved. begins to turn
black, very nearly resembling notification
which soon causes death. l believe there
has been scarcely a case where a person
survived the disease after the blackness be-
gan to set in upon the tongue.
