The Intermittent Fever of this climate is most pertinacious in its attack, any sufferer being liable to subsequent relapses during the year, until the constitution is completely worn out and the patient reduced to a state of great debility. The Remittent Fever is less frequent but more fatal, it is often the result of the former. By judicious treatment, many cases, with the exception of a few fatal ones, have invariably recovered.
During the months of October and November, the Fever of the Old Season (or Autumn Remittent) has been unusually prevalent: difficult to check and the convalescence slow. This class of disease generally lays the foundation of some organic affection of the abdominal viscera, especially the spleen and the liver, the former of which is almost invariably more or less affected, and that after comparatively mild attacks of the primary disease. Under such circumstances, no perfect recovery can be expected while the patient remains in the Colony.

Bowel affections have been of a much milder character and not so prone to run into a tedious and intractable character. Dysentery, acute and chronic, has in some instances resulted fatally, but the total number and proportionate mortality have been under the annual average. Nothing but change of...
