DR.. Wilson, of Meriden, has found
that malarial disease invaded Connec-
ticut in 1850, in the town of Southport,
in a wave scarcely more than twenty
miles wide, spreading laterally from
this line of progress only after reaching
the northern boundary of the state, and
occupying about fifteen years in its
march. This migratory feature of the
disease has not been heretofore noticed
in America, though not unknown on
the continent of Europe.
