MUCH SICKNESS IN NEW YORK.
Many victims Of Typhoid Fever and
Malaria.

NEW YORK. oct. An unusually
large number Of persons in this city are
either suffering with typhoid fever OF
severe attack Of malaria. As many Of
these patients have sought hospital care,
some OF the private hospitals viii not
receive any more such cases unless quick
medical attention is required. and the city
hospitals have not a single bed ready for
use except in the accident wards The
city hospitals are ready, however, for just
such emergencies as this. and though con-
gested now. no case demanding immedi-
ate attention viii be turned away.
An epidemic Of typhoid fever is dreaded
almost as much as smallpox by most Of
the superintendent Of hospitals. because
typhoid patients must be isolated as much
as possible. and they require almost con-
slant care In an the city hospitals there
are certain wards for typhoid fever cases.
and when these wards are filled beds iu
others must be found whore there is no
danger Of any patient in the hospital
catching the disease from those suffering
there with H. To find these beds quickly
IS sometimes "a DerpleNiug matter. The
beds in the surgical wards are usually
brought closer together and the convalesc-
ing patients are transferred from the con-
valesceUts wards to the surgical wards
because they are better abir 10 Withstand
being removed than any other patients
This course has been followed lately in
many 1f the hospitals
The announcement was made at the
charities department on Saturday that the
medical wards Of All the hospitals con-
nectcd with the department were filled
and that this condition was due 20 the
