it would not be amiss to give you an occasional
statement as to the Sanitary condition of our

There have been near three hundred cases o
Measels, several cases of Typhoid Fever, and al
abundance of ague. We have on hand, at pres
ent, l72 cases. A large majority are Measels
Many cases have assumed q typhoid or rathe
congestive type, rendering the disease malignsn
as we'll as very dangerous. Two patients hav
died from the seQuala of measels, one of appo.
plexy, and two of Inflammation of the BRAIN
At present, with but few exceptions, the ps
tients are doing remarkably we'll Our aim |
to present good record in point of successful
termination of our sick. Many regiments hav,
lost from 80 to 100 cases with the measels.
