![FEVER. In 1847, Mr. Bottomley treated 300 cases of fever (chiefly Irish). Fever prevalent at Blofield, Norfolk; East Budleigh, Devon ; Chat- teris, Cambridge; Bedford, Wilts; Amesbury, Wilts; Redruth, Corn- wall ; Wigan, Lancashire; Southsea, Hants; Portsea, Hants; Brighton, Sussex. “ The first case of fever seen at Croydon was imported from Oxted, a fact corroborated by Drs. Southwood Smith and Sutherland, and admitted by Mr. C. R. Thompson to be similar in type to a case he subsequently saw from Croydon. In Oxted, out of a population of 500, there occurred 80 cases of fever.”—Report by R. D.
