SUPPOSED CASES OF WILLOW FEVER.
Dr. Rockwell was tardy again in his attendance at
tue meeting this morning He said he could not help
it, because bis very life almost teazed out of him,
by constant attention upon calls, and in looking after
reported cases Of yellow fever. He said within the
that seemed as if all the old ladies in the city had
taken this matter specially in hand that he could not
turn the corner scarcely Of any street without being
hailed by some good old lady, who would very conf
denally state that many OF disease existed III
such street which were really of genuine yellow
fever!
He said that there was no end to these silly reports
and that for the last two three weeks he had spent
almost night and day in chase after these fancy cases
of yellow fever The doctor said that he fatigued
with this kind of service and should not respond TO the
old ladies' cases any further Yesterday, he said, he
was informed that genuine case OF yellow fever ex-
listed somewhere in certain block in Madison street;
that he searched for two hours diligently to find the
case and at last found the person. But alas! it was
ANYTHING else than beautiful case of yellog.'
The doctor said that the man slightly i'll, bat sit
ting up, and really enjoyed laugh that he had been
reported as sick with yellow fever To-day, the doctor
say s. he has been another wildgoose chase after
four {" wemaiked cases Of yellow fever, reported by
good old lady up town. lie found the cases, but
they were not alarming. One had had neuralgia,
another had bowel complaint, and the other two
pected to be sick. These the doctor said, the
results Of lis looking up Of yellow fever in the
city. The Board then adjourned till to-day.
