A New AND TERRIBLE EPIDEMIC. a
bout two weeks since new and terrible ep-
dcmic broke out in this community, which
has haffied the skill Of our physicians. -
Two children of Mr.. Wagner, who resides
about six miles from town, were suddenly
seized with violent pains III the stomach, ac-
conpanied with severe vomiting. The two
Doctors Smith. DIR. Richards and DR.. Ar
mold were all called, and they at first thought
from the symptoms that the children had
been poisoned In IA few days both died. -
A post mortcm examination was held, and
the physicians appeared to differ. One OF
them informed us, that he could give it no
other name than dipthelia If the lealt, as
that organ was p-cl.i,r,y affected. iOthers,
thought the disease was confred to the
stomach. Although they differed as to the
immediate cause Of their death, yet they all
agreed it was u new epidemic in most ma
lignant fo:m.
On last "Wednesday week. the eide t
daughter Of cur much re prcted friend, VII
liam Ray, was also attacked by this fatal
ease, and on Monday morning she was a
corpse. Two of his other childrcn-a sou
and daughter-are now quite low and their
r,cjvery is doubtful
An interesting son of Mr. McElroy, of
this place, is now very sick with the same
disea e.
On last Saturday, John Switaerlost an in
teresting child by this terrible epidemic. A
number of other cases are reported. ,
The patient is generally seized with pains
in the stomach and head, accompanied with
violent vomiting. Whether our physicians
will yet be able to battle this awful disease,
time alone will determine. ... .
