In order to put at rest the many exaggerated and
exciting runners which have gone forth il regard to the
Eantary condition Of this town. and to the existence of
yellow fevtt here His Honor, the Mayor, thinks that
an exact statement OF the facts Of the case ag he has
found them to exist is due to the public. lie requests
us to state as fOlloUs:-
He mas made diigent enquiry Of all the physicians
in town who have been in attendance upon any suspect
Cd cases. and finds the whole number of such cases.
to this time pronounced to be yellow fever TO be FIVE.
On yesterday there only one new case, and none
today. With the precautions adopted, it is confidently
hoped that no further spread Of the disease need be ap
pretended.
Thus far the Mayor authorizes US to state. What
further remarks we may make On this gubiect are not
by authority.
We feel no apprehensona personally On the subject
Of Yellow Fever, as We do not think that there is any
likelihood Of its becoming epidemic It is not to be
denied, however, that this is emphatjcay the sicky
here, and that there IS an unusual amount of
sickness in town. that, while there is no cause fer
panic there is urgent necessity for the adoption
every proper Precaution. With the public mind once
directed 10 particular subject, everything is referred
to that subject 50 that low every form OF fever IS i'm
medaey supposed to be Yellow Fever and every death
is referred to that disease.
The great amount Of moisture and The continued
heat, together with the suspension Of the steam mills
and turpentino dstieries all unfavourabIe to the
general health that, not on account of yellow Fever
but account of the sickness of the season. we would
advise families who ere out Of town and can convenient
