A European pauper died of Fever, and a Portuguese of Pulmonary disease, in the Hospital.

In December a Chinese died in hospital of Phagedacnie Wer. The Fevers retained their rather less Intermittent character and were more tractable than in the previous summer.

Respecting the several cases enumerated in the foregoing table, I have only to remark upon the same amenable character of Dysentery to treatment during the past year as others. The cases of Fever have been so generally complicated with enlargement of the Spleen and Liver that they would not bear the exhibition of Quinine, with some exceptions; some cases would bear very large doses of Quinine, a practice, however, I do not generally approve of.
