fore.
1T can clearly be seen that the
disease is subsiding." said DR.. WILL

Ger. last evening.
The death list becomes smaller
by leaps and bounds, and the end is
near. A lessened number of new
cases is also reported.
There have been 1900 deaths"
continued DR.. Fowler. altogether in
the, District. However, we have
been most fortunate, considering the
circumstances.
Conditions here from congestion
and the generally transient char
acter OF the incoming population has
created a situation not favorable to
public health.
Six TO eight weeks Is the usual
run OF such an epidemic as we have
just had, butt am sure that the he

who helped to fight the disease have
also hastened the end"
