THE RELEASING FEvKR.-The Rev. j. Long re-
ports to US that eleven cases OF relapsng fever
sent to the Hospital on Monday from the Bedford
street district, nine yesterday and six this morning
The fever is rapidly extending throughout the entire
and st. Mary streets. In Larkns street, below
Front and between Lombard and South, whole
family has been taken down with it, and four OF its
members were removed to the Hospital yesterday.
AS an example of the dangerous character OF the
bl3 S. Sixth street. This was closed some weeks
ago by order of the Board OF Health,
removed it was thoroughly cleaned and white
washed. Recently it was rented to very
Eespecta6ie; s;r ana eieany family ana within t SIX
with the fever and will be removed to the hospital
to-day. This is sufficient to show that If this fearful
disease is to be managed at all 1t will be necessary
to institute radical measures and something will
have to be done soon If the present summer Is not
to be made memorable by devastating pestilence.
The Board of Health have pooh-poohed this m after
from the beginning aud all they have done as yet
for the purpose OF checking this disease is scarcely
a beginning
city have also been dereIct In their duty. Many Of
them appear to know nothing about the character
istics OF the fever or the proper methods of dealing
with it, and they have made no eiferts whatever To
either warn the public or to have measures insti-
tuted for checking the fever In case the relapsng
fever should spread over the city during the sum
mer the public cannot say that sufficient warning
has not been given, and If the Board OF Health aud
others in authority do not do their duty 1t Is because
they have not sufficiently felt the pressure OF public
opinion. II anything Is to be done IL Is high time
that an efficient commencement was made, and we
hope that some action Will be taken at an early day
and before it is too late.
