THIS MORNING At MEMPHIS.
MrNpHIs, July 2S-9 A. M.-Blue Mon
day strikes us again with lowering clouds.
The weather is hot, and there is a general
feeling of depression and deep gloom. The
diScouraging record of Sunday-fourreen
new cases and ten deaths-dispels the idea
that the disease is abating. Dr. Easton has
three cases in his own family not yet re-
ported. Dr. Easton and family were reared
in the South and went to New York from
Mobile some four years ago. The Doctor
came here from New York as volunteer
physician during the epidemic last year
and has acquired large practice. His FAM
lily only came from New York four months
ago. Their attack with the disease proves
that they had lost their acclimatizaton,
which the Doctor said he had hoped was
not the case. The doctors still say the dis
ease is of a milder type and yields more
readily. They account for the many deaths
by the imprudence of the convalescents.
