The total number OF new OF yellow lever
reported in the past twsnsy-iour hours is as fol-
lows BY the Board OF Health. 212; by

Df reported since the lever commenced is
t2,249 The number OF deaths for tho past twenty
tour from yellow fever 81 against 90 yester
day; a decrease OF SO.
fo1 SUSPICION THAT THE DISEASE WAS IMPORTED.
This decroase both in the number OF new cases and
IN the death rate something remarkable. The first
may bo acseuuted for by supposing nearly all the
lccimnsed have met the ordeal; the last it would
bo dcult to explain satisfactorily Tho weather has
,continusd, cool, even cold yet clergyman who has
large number OF his congregation sick, tells me ne
nads them all doing well to-day. Tho conclusion
which must be arrived at from the bare facts con-
pected with the present epidemic sent yesterday Is
!wofod. One Is that carboc acid, under certain
climatic Influences, is futile TO arrest yellow lever;
the other is that while the disease may
be local, it. may also be introduced
by cases which al lrst escape detection
precisely ss in the instance Of that at tho noad G
rod street This can only expiun the hrst case that
appears 10 have originated in tho city, which arose
If 1t started from the ground place far distant
tr3m the point whore the first imported case died. II
only account also Tor the subsequent rapid
from widely separated localities throughout the entire
length and breadth OF this city There is expana-
zion Tor the large number of cases in the quantity OF
unacclimated material now hero. All mus, undergo
the acclimating process, the child as well as the
adult, and tho process must be undergone when the
disease is epidemic; otherwise the subject Is not
secure.
-4e.gsa MORTALITY AMONG THE CHILDREN.
Why the fever this year is SO fatal with children
hiss not yet been satisfactorily explained The dis.
ease certainly most fatal among the children OF the
poor, who rarely send tor physician until Is TOO
late. There can be doubt that the treatment Of
yellow lever perfectly by our physicians,
who are q most enlightened body OF men, with
the experiences OF o OF epidoniics. besides
possessing perfect familiarity with the history Of the
d'ssasH for she past hundred years. To the doctors
and nurses we certainly owe our comparatively low
mortality. Up to the present time yellow Jack,
whether native or foreigner "a question still un-
settlec) is nevertheless character TOO often seen
among us, consequently there Is scarcely family in
the caty that cannot furnish member perfectly
irisnas Or uader pay, form very large body Of
purses, perhaps unsurpassed Tor attending on TINS
disease. sflaiHsAf t'i
