Gazette Of The United States, & Philadelphia Daily Advertiser

"Providence is now in a perfect state of health, notwithstanding false reports. There have been seven persons taken with the yellow fever, who have died. At present there are no more complaining, as that disorder no more exists the physicians all say. Those who have died caught it by an infectious vessel which lately arrived from the West-Indies; and by the baseness and villainy of the master; who never told there had been any sickness on board." We cannot suffer this extract, which is authentic, to pass over, without noticing the danger which this town is in from a visit of the calamity which has spread in many parts of the United States so much distress. The negligence of those who have the appointment of Health Officers; and who are charged with the execution of laws against the spreading of infectious diseases, if as great as is reported, and somewhat apparent, deserves the immediate notice of the citizens. We ought to be wise from others alarms! Bot. Cent.
