Sr. LOUIS, Mo-, July 20.-There were nine
teen cases of heat and sickness arising there
from treated at the dispensary to-day, OF which
the following were considered of sufficient
verify to send to the hospital Robert M.
Rome, Harry Shannon VIM. Shebar, Ed Ford,
Henry Evans. Ned BARLEY. Mary Erskine and
VIM. Evans The number of burial permits
issued to-day were only twenty-one, of
stroke cases. The number Of deaths
caused directly or indirectly by heat since the
hot term set in is as follows: July 9Th and 9th.
B; 10th, 3; 18th, g.; 18th, IL; 18th,
%; 18th, 80; 18th, %; 10th, rs; nth, 81; 18th.
%; 18th. IL. Total, 1874. The official record
probably not exceed three in number. He,t
cases received at the dispensary during the
same time, 1870, of which only five died
while the dispensary. 1t is
worthy of note that the physicians at the hos
pital say the received by them from the
received from other sources, and that few of
them died. This seems to argue in favor of
the treatment adopted ut the dispensary, al
though it has been criticised to some degree,
and it was unquestionably heroic, in the fullest
sense of that term. The total number of heat
received at the hospital up to last night
are ninety-two, of which only nine died.
From these statements it will be seen that
about ninety per cent. of deaths by heat have
been in private practice or have been of those
persons who were suddenly and fatally stricken
down, or were found dead in bed 1t may be
fairly stated that while there will be no imme-
date diminshment for several days. yet it can
be safely said that the worst is
not only passed, but there is every reason to
believe that there will be but little fatality
from this on. Total deaths for the week end
ing P. NJ, $780, of which 1875 were from the
effects of heat. OF the remaining 25l
deaths, l24 were of children under FIVE years
of age. For tho corresponding week last year
