JOHN GODDARD.
For the Committee.
From the last Report of the Committee it appears, that the prevalence and malignity of the Fever has, in some measure, abated; and among the many melancholy circumstances attending this alarming disorder, it is no small consolation to find that Physicians and others, whose assistance has been and still is so highly necessary, continue unremitting in their exertions for the relief and comfort of the sick and distressed. Much credit is due in this respect to Doctor Catez, a French gentleman, resident in this town, whose readiness and assiduity have been truly exemplary.
