over 2,000 casks AND MORE THAN 400 DEATHS IN 8T. JOHN'S, N. F.

Latest advices from St. John’s, N. F., indicate that as yet the local authorities have been unable to check the terrible de- vastations that diphtheria has been making throughout that colony during the past eighteen months. Diphtheria first showed itself in epidemic form in St: John’s, in March, 1888, and it has con iuwed with more or less virulence up to the present date. During that time there have been within the city limits, 2,064 cases and 401 deaths. The number of families in which

ippeared was 965. Of these families, 2 lost 5 children each; 5 families lost 4

hildren each: 16 lost 3 each; 49 lost 2 each: 225 lost 1 each, and 659 of the whole number attacked lost none. In addition, ‘6 families outside the city limits were vis- iied with this terrib!< disease. There were , 106 cases and 26 deaths, making the total | number of deaths 427 and the total number f cases 2170. Thus almost exactly one in tive of those attacked died. There were over 30 cases last week, but only one death so far. The suffering and misery caused by this disease have been very great.
