A few Persons in this Town, who have been in a very high Fever for some Months past, we learn are likely to recover, notwithstanding the late News from London turns out directly contrary to their most sanguine Expectations; they are still in a breathing Sweat, but by the Advice of an able Physician, they are to plunge into a cold Bath, at this Season, as necessary to carry off the Dregs of their Disorder, though it is expected that it will take a considerable Time before they arrive to their usual State of Health, as they are somewhat emaciated, as will appear by their Countenances.
