The FiIth of MemphIs.

Lancet and Clinic.l
Memphis is situated upon the east
bank Of the Mississippi, upon a bluff
varying from fifteen to fifty feet in
height. Upon the crest of this bluff
runs Front street; from this street the
ground slopes eastwardly away from
the river, 80 that all rain, surface gut
terwashings, slop and whatever of
Aoatable filth there may be, is drained
into the bayou, which winds about
through the heart of the city. Across
the river the Arkansas shore stretches
low and fiat, a vast marsh, notorious
for its malaria; north and east of Mis-
sissippi, upon the Tennessee side, the
land is low and swampy; the soil in
and about the city, of clay. The bayou
runs through the most thickly-popu-
lated parts of Memphis; into this
elongated cesspool is collected all the
floating filth ola city of 5 5000 inhabi-
tants; garbage, the DRAWINGS

street washings, dead animal mat

thrown into this receptacle, there to

Ancient Fever Epidemics.

Popular Science Monthly for December.l
The lessons of the last epidemic find
numerous precedents in the history of
former times. The black-death that
ravaged Asia and Southern Europe in
the fourteenth century spared the
Nohammedan countries = Persia,
Turkistan, Morocco, and Southern
Spain, whose inhabitants generally
abstained from pork and Intoxicating
drinks. In the Byzantine empire,
Russia, Germany, France, Northern
Spain (inhabited by the Christian
Visigoths), and Italy, 100000 died
between 1875, but the monasteries of
the s%tricter orders and the frugal
peasants of Calabria and Sicily enjoyed
their usual health (which they, of
course, ascribed to the favor of their
tutelar saints but among the cities
which suffered most were Barcelona,
Lyons, Florence and Moscow, the first
three situated on rocky mountain
slopes, with no lack of drainage and
pure water, while the steppers of the
Upper Volga are generally dry and
salubrious.
The pestilence of 1920 swept away
$1,000 or more than two-thirds of the
$4,000 inhabitanta of Marseilles in less
than five weeks but of Castalans only
200 died, or less than four per cent.
The most destructive epidemic record
ed in authentic history was the four
years that commenced in A. ID. 542
and ragged through the dominions of
Chosroes the Great, the Byzantine
Empire, Northern Africa and South
western Europe. 1t commenced in
Egypt, spread to the east over Syria,
Persia and the Indies, and p~enetratedt to
the west along the coast Of Africa and
over the Continent of Europe. Asia
Minor, with its plethoric cities, Con-
stantinople, Northern Italy and France
suffered fearfully, entire provinces

remained vacant for many years, and
