■^i» Iho (Tty Council of this place, gov
erned by the accounts that have reached them of
i ’l'" prevailing malady in Augusta, and being de.
in any manner in their power, to manifest
ftfpeir respect and sympathy for the corporation
anil citizens of that city, have instructed me to
convey to yon this expression of their feelings,
and respectfully to lender to yon, if necessary
the services of two or more Physicians. This
oiler is made under the impression, prevailing
here, that several of ynrtr Physicians have them
selves boon attacked hy the disease, and (lint
lit re may he a deficiency of medical men to at
tend ta those of your population who are sick'
mid particularly to tho poor. If the services of
wny of our Physicians would he acceptable, they
will Its most promptly and cordially alforded—and
it would give im great pleasure to render assist,
mice to our sister city. Several of our Physl.
wans, amongst them experienced II capital prac
titioners, have expressed u willingness nnd even a
desire to go. Tho only question therefore, is
whether their services are needed, nnd upon that
point 1 will thank you In inform me ns soon ns
possible. I would also thank you to acquaint me
what is the character of the epidemic with which
Augusta is ulllicted, and whether it is considered
to ho contagions, or of such a nature ns would
render its transmission by the rail road, dangerous
to tho inhabitants of Charleston. An early an

Sin : —Enclosed you have the opinion of Dr.

Acne sta, September Ist, 1839.
compliance with your request, ac?
roinpanying the letter from bis Honor the Mayo,,
of Charleston, this morning referred to mo, I am
happy in being able to stale unequivocally, that
tho disease by which our city has been alllicted
during the last month, is not eontof'.ous t nor is
it in any way susceptible of communication from
one person to another, hy contact, clothing, or
any of the media by which contagion may be
communicated. Nor is there the least reason to
believe that there is an emanation from the body,
whereby a similar disease may bo produced in
another person. This is a decision, sanctioned,
«o far as 1 have reason to believe, by every intel
ligent member of tba Medical profession in lb c
city, and is founded on the substantial basis of
the constant character of the same disease, ns i t
fias from time to time appeared under the observa
tion of intelligent physicians, in different places
and ihc minute and constant observation of Us
character during its present prevalence hero.
thus decision should be sufficient to quiet the
apprehensions which may exist in the minds of
cm “inuoiiy of Charleston, or any
V'sce. Hut rumor has spread tar and
uric the gratuitous falsehood Uiat Yillow FtvCr I
mi l i / conliigltilm epidemic exists in Augusta, it
may not be improper, in order that truth, with its
w holesome In tiring may obUiin amongst ourfriends
in I harleston ns wi ll as elsewhere, 16 ( tale in
connexion with the above, without resting the
truth on its bare announcement, that, so far as I
have been able to learn, no cane nf Ycl/nw I’evir
has originated in Augusta during the whole sea
son ; that the disease hy which onr community
have been visited is the same in its general char
acter with the fivers which formerly afflicted our
city lr hr-tiMiual recurrence in autumn; the same
w ith thal which prevailed in iiarnwell District,
S. C., the hi,l season, and other districts in (ieor
gia and elsewhere—that its occurrence at this sea
son, after years of almost tin paralleled health i •
fairly and properly attributable to a predisposition
more or leas general through llte countiy, arises
from a summer Ol unusual heat, followed hy the
cool esttiVly breezes of approaching autumn.
'I Ifcho causes have introduced a fever, the general
character of which is primarily, hijluinnmlnrij
InLnus Jr.vcr, As the season has progressed, the
general character of the fever has become more
s mply inflammatory, or the ordinary fehrilerymp
l nun of fever prn luecd Itijr c ild. All these eases
have been found of easy control. A modifying
e m.e has however, operated with great power on
a small portion of the (lily in a line of a few hun
dred yards directly leeward of the (rash-wharf
a collection ol putrescent filths deposited in the
river, occupy mg, above water, a space of a iptar
ler, or half acre. In the line of the easlw ardly
an I northeastwardly winds which prevailed stead
ily for two or three weeks over this wharf, a corr
salerahle number ol eases were so modified as to
r mler them highly iftngenius aVid in some in
stil rices niieotilridahle, hy the superoihiilioti of
congestive symptoms. These ruses, in order to
characterise their diUcreiiee are properly denomi
nated, “crmgrxf/ ve rums nf hi Hulls finer, 1 ’ This
is llte ordinary type of those eases of bilious fever
which causes death earlier than the seventh or
eighth day, wherever it prevails, Thu symptoms
which mark litis type of disease come on sooner
or later, according to the greater or less intensity
ol llte causes, the modifying tnlluenee of the hab
it ami temperament of the individual attacked iVe.
To these eases, the mortality has been eonflnedv
As strange exaggerations have gone abroad,
relative to llte mortality of the diseases, and
which are lull the legitimate fruits of an uiiwar
r.intaVe panic which has existed, I will lake the
liberty of adding, in Justine to truth, ns well ns to
tlio character of the medical profession here, thal
according to the best estimates [ have been able
to make, the mortality, from the beginning of the
disease this season, to the ‘Jfillt of August, did not
exceed one in twenty-four or twenty-live eases; I
mid that the rate of mortality litis so decreased, (
that, from the beginning to the present time, (Ist i
September,) the proportion of mortality to rs-so■ <
'cries noes not, at most, exceed one in fifty cases. 1
This opinion is concurred in hy my professional J
brethren, so far as I have been aide to consult |
them mi this subject. It is also proper to add \
that the panic to which the people have yielded, *
has been a cause of not only increase in the num
ber of eases, but of mortality ; by the physical
influence of fright, and a lamentable privation of
nursing.
The local causes nf the alarming part of the
epidemic having been corrected, there is now no
reason to apprehend any further predisposing
c inse in the atmosphere of Augusta, and no eases
ol the congestive lever will probably heneelorlli
occur, unless excited on predispositions already j
created. This opinion is founded on observation
of the eases of this fever which lure occurred
within the last four or five days, and the general
change in tho constitution of the atmosphere.

Sin:—Having understood from a variety of
sources, both public.ami private, that your city
was sorely alllieli d with disease of an aggrava
ted form and malignant type —and that four of
your Physicians were either dead or dying,!
while lire residue, were completely worn out and
overcome by the onerous duties that devalu'd on
them, from the paucity of their number, in com
parison with the number of patients daily accru
ing ; lh.it the disease assumed all the character
istics of *• Yellow Fever;" was in the highest de
gree intractable and mortal; hence 1 resolved, of
my own accord, at the first impulse, to 'isit you
immediately, and render sull'ering humanity, all
the aid in my power, in co-operation, with the j
Medical ability, for which your city is reputed.
1 abandoned the few patients 1 bad in Charleston,
for thal field, in which, 1 flattered myself, 1 could
bo more eminently servieable, and now sir, pre
sent myself to your consideration. What little
talent 1 have, whatever tact in administration or
skill in my profession, 1 respectfully lender them,
in eo-operation with your eminent sanatory mea
sures, otid the Medical talent of this city, in re
lieving, mollifying, or arresting to the best of my
feeble abilities, whatever evil may exist.
My services, sir, are at your command, such as
they arc, I freely oiler them, in behalf of the in
digent and sull'ering, in the hope, sir, that if my
services can be of any possible avail to you, and
through you. to the citizens of Augusta, that I
may prove, the feeble instrument of Divine Pro
vidence, of rendering sonic good ; and with as- !
suranccs of my best wishes, that the scourge
which is now afflicting your city, together with
the panic that has driven away your Merchants
and Tradesmen and Families, may speedily pass
away, and the pleasing aspect of health and pros
perity return to cheer your domicil. You will
accept, sir, for yourself, my congratulation, that
while one anil another of your acquaintances may
have fallen, that you have been restored to your
friends and health.

Sin, —In reply to your interrogatories 1 have
the honour to inform you that in the several eases
of disease that I have seen in your city, there is
not in my humble opinion, the least vestige erf
“Mellow Fever,”
As fur as my observation ettends, (lie eases an
num. the aspect of HrLicSis fverfllltent Fever assu
ming in the hit ter .stages lire Typhoid Typo—and
here and there I have seen a ease of Hilious In'
tennittent Fever.
•Jo, J he eharueleristic (Jiflerenee in these diseases
are, that the Remittent form of Fever never en
tirely (rasses ofiTtnti' resolution—but alternately
remits and recurs iguin. Whereas -in Bilious
Intermittent Fever, there »ro cmtpMv and entire
intermissions, and is a disease i ni generis influen
ced in some 'unaccountable manner bv periodici
ty,
•Now,the \el low Fever presents one uninterrup
ted paroxysm from beginning to end, anil never
passes ofl until it terminates either I»y resolution
or a cold surface with cold clammy sweats exu
ding in largo drops and Ilyppoeratic eouDlcnaner;
the former is uniformly a favourable issue—the
latter beyond all doubt will terminate fatally.
1 hesitate not to believe, that your diseases arc
wholly free of all manner of contagion and am
decidedly of the opinion that the most powerful
exciting causes producing the disease to so great
an extent as it has already done, is the unaccoun
table fear that has pervaded your population—
while local causes only, have operated remotely
in generating the epidemic.

affect a cure, none of those tenacious and disagree

from .the sudden cure of Gonorrhoea, have been
