tons, and was the disease in former
days introduced from abroad, and
then naturally propagated in the
absence of sanitary care and pre-
caution?
A statement represents the dis
ease spreading at night as if from
house to house; that it attacks
premises wholly free from exposure
to contact, and that of the thou
sands Of persons who left the city
in the afternoons and returned in
the day time during business hours
only, no one was attacked. 1t is
supposed to extend in some form Of
malaria near the surface of the
earth, inasmuch as the public Jail,
being surrounded by high wall,
escaped infection.
The news from Memphis and
New Orleans indicates that the
spread of the disease at this time is
without precedent, and flight from
the locality, in view Of the probable
length of warm weather, is thu
wiSest measure of safety.
