For the Dispatcn.l
Mr.. Editor,-You seem surprised at the
small mortality according TO the late cen
sus) in Mississippi and Florida. 1t is what
| have anticipated, and is in accord with
what have said and written in regard TO
the relative mortality and longevity in
Eastern Virginia, particularly Glide
water" as compared with that OF Pied
mont, the mountain, and Valley portions
OF the state. Malarial disease is rarely fatal
in Virginia, and if properly managed ought
nerer to be fatal and this is the principal
disease of Tidewater. For years it is
sometimes scarcely known. The late DR..
Henry Curtis. OF Hanover, widely known.
told me he saw no ague and fever Gnter-
mittent fever or bilious fever Qemittcnt)
from 1882 to 1912.
This character of disease has perfect
antidote in qulninc, and no one need have
more than the first chill or fever Qhe cold
stage being of late years frequently absent),
and then quininc, a few grains in the morn
ing. will generally keep it off, particularly
if night air is avoided. The late Mr.. Hill
Carter believed he kept off this malariaI
disease for twenty years by taking two
grains Of quinine every morning. Tide.
water Virginia has been greatly slandered
i'm regard to health. Taking all things into
consideration, there is no portion OF VIZ
ginia more healthy, unless it be some OF the
counties of Middle Virginia, and l think
these middle counties as healthy rs any
portion Of the globe. During three,
years residence at .'Hampden-Sydney Col
lege." Prince Edward, with seveDty-fve tC
one hundred students, | remember hert
,cdS bit one case of sickness requiring q
physician, and there had been then no dedH
there for Serenty:fre gears. These are
facts, and remarkable facts. During thi'
time there had been one or two fracture;
requiring physicians attendance.
1t would be desirable to know whether
the "death-rate you publish is accurate
and reliable. | doubt whether it is en-
tirely so. For instance, we doubt whether
it is reliable for West Virginia. Mountain
regions, while healthy in the summer, are
not so in winter. They have more pncu
monias, pleurisies, rheumatism, consump
ton, and typhoid fever than the miidcr
dryer sections; and typhoid fever in The
western portion of Virginia is much more
severe and frequent and unmanageabl'
than in Eastern Virginia. During tel
years. practice OF medicine in Tidewatel
| Virginia QrOm 1871 to 1871 the write
never saw case of real typhoid fever
| He saw some cases OF rcmttent bilious
fever, which by bad previous treatmcn
had run down into low form OF fever.
