SUDDEN DEArH4.-The case Of Hills family
in West Chester, where several of the members

is very distressing one. They recently IN owed

been shut up for nearly two years. The house

mother uneoncious. The suddenness and viru-
lence Of the disease very naturally created quite
a shock to the neighbors but we should not do
Justice to our own feelings not to mention among
others the unremitting attention Of Mrs Apple

The case of Francis Windle, Of East Brandy

day, from malignant attack somewhat similar
to the above.
These cases, and some others in Chester coun.
