Pécteneeee the capital of the state of Rehan shite: situated 43°, 5’, north latitude, and 6°, 26! east longi- tude from Washington, contains above 6000 inhabitants. The cholera of infants made its appearance in june and continued into november—the hooping cough appeared in september, and prevailed to the end of the year—the quinsy, or croup, was first noticed in october, and its foot- steps are traced to the last of december. The nonclosure of the foramen ovale, in a child of two days old, i is a singular occurrence, the child was very healthy, strong an robust, but suddenly changed to a blue colour, gasping for breath ; friction and warm bathing restored its colour b ut for a few minutes, the blue appearance returned, and he died gasping for breath, evidently for want of the cireulation through the lungs. As usual, the consumption is highest on the list, nearly one fourth part have died of that disease —— How long shall this remain the opprobrium of the art! !! It is unusual for the consumption to appear so early in life as the 11th year, but this in a lad of colour, was an unquestionable case of phthisis pulmonalis.
