let them stand uncovered in the kettle over the fire

THE PLAGUE Is IT?-A very extraordinary
disease has lately made its appearance, in a few
families in this ci.y-some OF them eminent in
wealth and pOsiton-which has c0niounded our
physicians, because Of its novelty. AT first they
ciassed it under The head of Erysiprlas, bat as it
would not bear that classification some Of them
have given it the name Of the Plague. 1t appears
at rst in some discolored spot, say on The face
and extending without suPpuraton, it soon des.
troys life, as if by general modification. IL
suppuration takes place, it passes off, but If not.
death is sure to follow. There is no cOnaglcn
about it, and it is not epidemic in any form. One
or two physicians have resorred TO The knife, and
cut out the plague spot on its first appearance, and
to have saved life. Fever and delirium attend The
progress of the disease, If IS the spot" is left TO
spead. Such is our information. but as we have
seen no case with our own eyes, and VI we had,
should not be able 10 describe it scientifically,
what we say must be taken NTH this understand

1t is not the plague, for it is not contagious or
epidemic out what is it The plague may be
imported nay, has been imported, into The south
of France, from Turkry-but il may be some new
