The Towards Appeal for Aid.

MEMPHIS, Sept. 4.-The Howard AS
ISOLATION of Memphis, after having battled
for the past two months with the dread de-
stroyer in their midst, find every dollar in
their treasury exhausted, with several hum
dred sick and convalescents to be provided
for and large number of nurses to be paid.
We were hopeful in the beginning that, with
the funds then on hand at the outbreak of
the epidemic, we would be able to provide
and care for the sick that would be thrown
on our hands. But the fever has continued
to spread, and with two long months yet be-
fore us, there is no alternative but to appeal
to the charity of the nation for substantial
aid. The generous people throughout the
Union will not fail to respond to this call for
help. We feel that we are performing a
sacred duty to the impoverished and dis
tressed people among whom our lot is east
The bounty of common people was show
cred upon us in 1878, and to those willing
givers we appeal. If help is not speedily
furnished we shall he compelled to abandon
the work we have been engaged in and leave
hundreds to suffer and die for want of a
Towards helping hand.
