The first case was one of gastro-enteritic irritation; diarrhoea was not brought on; it was preceded by delirium, convulsions, or loss of mental perception. This patient was brought into Victoria from Stanley. She had suffered previously from repeated attacks of fever.
His early habits were very intemperate, and he was feeble and emaciated. The second case was that of a strong healthy young man, of temperate habits. He was brought from Aberdeen to the same station as the former case. His disease ran through precisely the same stages, all of longer duration, and his death was preceded by the same exemption from cerebral disease.
The third case was a young man of the most robust frame, intellect, and temperate habits. His illness commenced with marked symptoms of inflammation of the membranes of the brain. He had been casually exposed to the sun. The active symptoms were subdued, but his disease assumed the character of typhus fever; there were no periodical exacerbations, and symptoms of stupor, intellectual dullness, and low delirium preceded his death. His disease was of seven days' duration. The case was in all respects similar to the fourth case, except that it terminated more rapidly.
The fifth death occurred at Aberdeen. This case resembled in its attack and progress the two first alluded to. The subject of it had suffered repeatedly from fever, had practised intemperance, and was feeble and attenuated in his body.
The month of August presents the fearful aggregate of nineteen deaths. Of these, there were nine Europeans and four Chinamen. There was one death from disease, and this was a case of typhus fever, resembling the Indian type. It was only the third case detailed in July. The subject of it was...
