There is no abatement in the great death-tide
that has swept over Norfolk. Nothing but
darkness and gloom in the present or the future.
There is no peculiar treatment adopted by the
Southern physicians to arrest the disease
Some give turpentine and hydrocyanic acid,
Others infusion of verbena, others different
things. Dr.. Morris, of your city, understand,
adopts tine erpeclant course, and SO far, with the
most decided success. Out of some forty cases,
he has lost but one, and that was complicated
with another disease Drs. Beard and Williams,
of New Orleans, leave this morning for Balti-
more. DR.. Gooch, of Richmond, il is thought,
will die.
