an extraordinary treatment of yellow fever as
the usual treatment has failed to give any salts
factory results He referred then, to his treat
ment OF n pat ent in the charity hospital whom
he had selected as the worst case out OF fifteen
The patient had been relieved of headache, his
temperature had been reduced and kept at SO
degrees, but he will very likely die of
restriction of his kidneys which do not act
Had the patient been treated as soon as the
second stage of the fever set in he would have
been saved. The doctor gave also lengthy
history OF the fever in the present and epidem-
&c form, and his belief that it can be traced to

Der fifty. Father Walsh, of st. Bridgets and
Father McCarvey, of st. Peters, are dead; also

AT MEMPHIS.
MEMPHIS, Aug. 29.--New cases to-day ninety
nine, deaths seventy. At 2 P. NJ. to-day a
drenching rain commenced falling and contin-
ued up to clock. The death roll to-day ex-
ceeds that of any day during the scourge of
1868 but it is feared, owing to the wet, damp
weather tonight that it will in turn be ex-
ceeded by to-morrow's mortuary report. At
Camp 10 Williams several deaths from fever
occurred to-day. The sickness is ex-
pected to spread there more than in
the city by reason of the rain and
what is worse there, the facilities for
caring for the sick are very poor the only
building in the neighborhood being an old
barn which has been hastily fitted up for hos
pital. Among the new cases to-day is mother
superior at La Sollete.
THE DEAD ROLL
includes the names of Fathers Martin Walsh
and Mccartney, whilst Fathers Bokel and Maher
are in dying condition. The corps of physi-
are doing efficient work but 1T" have have
more than they can attend to. Information
has been received that DR.. E. T. Easley, of Lit
tie Rock, with corps of nurses, started for
this city tonight Scores of tenders of profess
sional service has been received from physi-
clans in various parts of the country. A num-
Der of deaths from fever are reported from
several country places adjacent to Memphis,
