HEALTH DKPARTMENT, CITY HALL,l

7. 8. Verdi. NJ d., President Board Of Heath,
Dear Sir:@Your telegram Just received and
replied TO. On Wednesday last notice came
TO the Health department OF several cases of
sickness In one house and one death At q
once TO the spot and found upon q close in
vestieation ten cases In all within q circle
the diameter OF which would not be over two
hundred yards. The man who had died was
thoroughly jaundiced and most Of the other
cases showed more or less Of the same ap-
pearance. They had all had chill or cold
pressed pulse, as well as low temperature.
Upon investigation to find o cause was uu-
able To trace any foreign source whatsoever,
but soon found local cause sufficient to sat
isfy my mind Of its local origin. Filth and
squalOr IN their houses, neglected aud reek-
ing drains In yards and alleys, Overlooking,
sinking privies, to an extent that had
never seen before. A sufficient force was In
stantly set to work, and before night all
cause of offepsiveness was removed. The
whole re gion was lined and disinfected and
purified. The worst case land the only one
that would go) was sent TO the Marine Hos
pifal. Up 10 to day at IL m. no new case
bad occurred. But i've OF the ten cases have
died. 1t is disease undoubtedly resembling
yellow fever; but as / am unable to trace
any contagiOn from abroad whatsoever. aud
as there is abundant local cause for q high
type OF typho malarial fever, am OF opin-
ION that IL Ia disease of this character, aud
that the active means adopted has stamped
IL out at It's inception.
Should any further developments take
place will inform you of them.
Very respectfully yours, &c,
