fields sickness and Death.
The British Medical Journal OF November 80 pub
nshed the following technical professional explana-
ton OF the inception OF the fever, Its class and
character and Its ravages the person OF the Earl
OF Chesterheld:-
Since the publication Of our statement last week
that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales was
suffering from sharp attack OF enteric or typhoid
fever the daily bulletins Of his physicians have
6icaed very clearly ana succinctly the progress of
the malady, which has been in all respects regular
In Its manilestations; and, although deserving Of
the appellaon which 1t received from the first as
sharp attack the progress OF the malady has been
thus far favorable and free from complications. AS
al medical men are aware, the ordinary poriod OF
teen DAYS This is subject to variations and rregu-
larities; but that Ii the accepted standard OF the
that on the evening Of the 18th nit, His Royal High
ness first presented the signs which indicate the on
BET OF the lever the minds OF medical men naturally
reverted TO the anteceden history or the patient at
Interval OF time. Enteric FEVER 1t is known is
the result or the inhalation OF the nlasm OF decom
posing amman matter, either IN the form of aerial
emanations such sewer gas, OF local pollution
ters, and whenever we meet win a case OF cnteric
fever, we always look 10 the local circumstances
Under which Tho patient was placed at date
responding 10 that OF the ordinary commencement
Of the period OF incubation.
Thus, them It was at once remarked that the dates
correspondent with those OF the Princes visit TO
Lord Lon desborough at his at scarborough. In
connection with this visit certain medical crcum-
stances we're also reported on good authority. Thus
the party at Lord Londesbor0ugh's included their
with Colonel Ellis the Countess OF Macclesned Duke
OF Beaufort Duchess OF Manchester, Lady Cecilia
Bingham, Lord Carrinqton the Earl Of Chesterfield
and Mr. Baldwin. Nearly all, including especially
Her Royal Hlghness the Princess, the Duke OF Beau
fort, Lady Cecilia Bingham, the Duchess Of Man
chester, Lady Londesborouah and Colonel Ellis are
known to have been suffering during The visit with
symptoms OF constitutional disturbance. These
symptoms passed OF rapidly, except in the instance
OF Lady Londesborough. who, 1t Is stated was mdcn
Four days after the date on which His Royal
Hghness the Prince OF Wales sickcned with enteric
party at scarborough, was also attacked. Lord
Chesterfield had been on visit after leaving
at Brstby PARK. Burton. Trent. These series OF
events taken together Afforded, and stu afford,
the local etioogy which the best informed persons
were disposed to assign as the probable explana-
develops some important acts which will weigh
against this strong presumption. In the first place,
his house is that OF the town Of Scarsborough. and
that 1t is pure and excellent The sewers mad been
pvrposely examined aud thoroughly nushed, and
furncock was Kept on the premises during the visit

tacnes TO either OF these statements. But crcum-
stance OF great importance, belonging to another
order OF events Is the fact that since the Prince fell
