YEAR 1872; AND THE MEASURES ADOPTED FOR THE RELIEF OF THE SICK* By Surgeon K. P. Goopta, M.B., Officiating Superintendent of Vaccination, Metropolitan Circles. I. State of Health of the District at the beginning of the year.?The history of the origin of the fever in Burdwan may be given in a few words quoted from the excellent Bengal Government Resolution, dated the 9th January 1872 : ? " The fever, which has for more than ten years past been raging in the districts on both sides of the Hooghly, has, during the past three seasons, chiefly shown itself in Burdwan and Hooghly. "In 1869 it broke out with great violence in the town of Burdwan, and afterwards at different places in both districts. The number of persons attacked was very large, and the mortality lamentably heavy. The disease was not g^t under until the early part of 1870, when it left the people exhausted and worn out in body and means. " The fever did not again show itself with anything like the same virulence until July 1871, wiien it once more broke out within the municipal limits of the town of Burdwan. " As on the last occasion, the fever gradually extended from the town to the district." ******
