| SINGULAR SICKNESS. We find the fol-
lowing in the Chico Enterprise of July
18th /:
One week ago to-day, at ranch three or
Il i
sickness broke out among the people there
which appears to. be something new to this
State, and to the experience OF the medical
profession. There were about thirty per-
sons living on this place engaged in farm
ing, and on this day they were attacked
with the summer complaint, accompanied
with distressing cramps in the stomach.
This continued for a day or so, when the
former run itself out, but the latter con-
t;nued with more or less violence. A
strange feature of the case was, that there
was no change in the pulse or variation In
the temperature Of the body, which gen.
orally accompany these attacks. The peo-
pie at first supposed they were affected
from drinking water ftom an old we'll on
the place or from eating fresh beef that
had been driven before killing. But as to
the well, the water had been used by num-
bers Of people from another ranch before
and after this attack without any danger,
while as to the heated beef it is well known
that none other is used IN this country. A
man named David Murphy came here and
put himself under the care OF DIR. Watts,
who can find nothing in his books to CORE
spond to this case. There were two Chi
nese cooks employed at the ranch, and one
was attacked in the same manner as the
others.
