are rendered even more oppressive by the moist cnni
ton of the air and the absence of electricity. When
the sun begins to decline from the solstice
every living thing gradually loses portion of its vital
energy; and in August. the connection of malaria
slowly recommenccs while the capacity for resisting the
poison in the human system far rapidly minshes
