the company gives some interesting facts about the
present condition Of affairs in and around Richmond,
which settles the fact that much distress prevails par
iifs and much dissatisfaction on the part OF many
once prosperous aud influential citizens of the city. In
the first place nearly all Of the hotels occupied
throughout by the sick and wounded, the nurses and
medical staff and large proportion of the cases were
very difficult of successful treatment. The Doctor
had occasion several times to pass through the wards
allotted TO the Florida Regiment OF whom there were
nearly four hundred down with the measles and ty-
phod fever One difficulty in the way OF the success
fnl practice Of the physicians was the difficulty of pro-
yidinQ pure and genuine medicines, aud quinne, 10
