II need ten more physicians immedi-
ately. I find scores of people sick and
dying without having been seen by a
physician. R W MlTcuELL, NJ D,
Medical Director"
Dir Mitchell emily vent on duty in
charge Of the Howard infrmary corps Of
ten physicians this morning and discov.
cred at once a deplorable and startling
state Of affairs, ofl
From the vast numbers Of people who
have left our city since the outbreak Of
the fever one would suppose that by this
time the disease should show some signs
Of abatement for want Of material to feed
on, but our report to-day shows the con-
trary to be true; the material is here and
is being Frustrated by the fever with IN,
abAted violence. Reports given below
show an increase both in the number Of
new cases and deaths.
