The average mortality in the London HomoeoiDathic Hospital for 18G6 was 5 per cent, while in some of the Allopathic Hos]3itals it rose so high as from 15 to 17 per cent. The mortality from yellow fever under ordinary treat- ment has ranged from 27 to 77 per cent., according to the nature of the epidemic. In 1853 Drs. Holcombe and Davis treated the disease Homceopathically, with a mortahty of only six per cent. For this result they were placed in charge of the Missisippi State Hospital, in 1854. During 1854-5, they had in this Hospital 461 cases of yellow fever, with 22 deaths, or less than 5 per cent. At Eio the mort- ality from, yellow fever under Homoeopathic treatment in 1851-2, was' only six per cent. Most official statistics return the average of six per cent, as the usual mortahty from yellow fevei^ under the new system. During 1864, the Military Hospitals in St. Louis, U.S., were placed respectively under the care of an Allopathic and a Homoeopathic physician. The statistics at the end of six months are as follows, with the observations of the American Homoeopathic Observer :—* * Monthly Horn.
