Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1878-09-29

The fever is rapidly abating, and we may
now look forward with hope, born of GER
tainty, that two weeks more will find US, if
not entirely free of it, so near to that long
wished for condition as to enable US to
breathe freer than we have since the first of
August last. The new cases reported yester-
day were only eighty-fve, figures that prove
how weak is the hold the plague has upon
us compared with a week a ago. The deaths,
though reported forty-nine, will not initiate
against this when it is understood that of
that number thirty-four only were of yester-
day, the remainder being of the twenty sixth
and twenty-seventh. The daily average of
deaths since the twenty-ffth has fallen from
ffty-three, at which it stood for the preceding
seven days, to forty, decline, that all things
considered, is very rapid. Within the next
seven days it ought to decline below thirty,
and after that the falling off should be stlll
more rapid.

OF the above, eight are from outside tn,
city limits, which the board of health are moi
permitted to record, and the fact that one O
the undertakers made two days reports il
one; therefore, there is not an increase IN thu
death rate, as is apparent from the abov,
report.
