The existence OF peculiar and very fatal
disease among the crew of the Japanese war

and some concern in the community, among
those who are uninformcd as to its nature and
causes, In view of this fact, brief dcscrip.

is named "ber.bcr,' and is very common at
certain seasons of the year in certain parts OF
India, 1t also prevails in China, and in some
other pats The prominent symptoms OF the
disease are general dropSical swelling, preceded
and accompanied by pricking and numbness OF
the limbs, and more OF less paralysis OF the
lower limbs; general debility, tlultering of the
heart, and shortncss of breath. The prognosis
is very wiavorahlc; and in India next ia
cholera, it is said to be the most fatal disease "a
which Europeans are subject. II has been
known on these islands for some time past
among the Chinese and Portuguese laborers
on plantations, and occasionally it has been
known TO exist among the Chinese of the town.
On plantations, it is almost entirely confined
to such of the Chinese as provide their owr
food, and has scarcely ever been known tc
exist among such as are supplied by the planta
ton. An exclusive rice diet, and the absence
of iron in the drinking water are supposed tC
greatly predispose the system to the disease
II is neither contagious nor infectious, although
endemic in some countries. For this inioma
