The type of fever, which I am sorry to say, has caused much sickness among my servants and which has lately attacked Mrs. LEWER, is not of a purely Malarial type, but a bastard fever due, I think, to some local cause which ought to be investigated. The sinells are abominable from the sewers on the higher levels.

The house Sunnyside has had some of its inmates attacked by fever since my entering into residence there in April last. Not a week has passed without some mem- ber of my family or some of my pupils being laid by. A month since my wife and daughter were attacked by what Dr. CANTLIE called " drain poisoning," and ten days since my wife was at the point of death from Bilious Remittent Fever caused I have no doubt from the filthy condition of the Chinese Squatters' Plot mentioned in Par. Á. During the South-West monsoon the windows facing this plot could not be kept open on account of the stench. As no drains from this house are connected with outside drains the poison cannot come from such a source.
