' The suburbs develop most of the new : cases. The fever has appeared in viru j lent form in South Jacksonville, across ' the St. John’s river. The natural loca tion is most favorable to the spread of the disease, the land being generally low, and, to a great extent, marshy and wet, and a number of yards being partially covered with tide water.
