THE eet,
the
PREFACE.
OON after the commencement of the Jatc Malign
ant Fever in our city, a fhort account of which is now
llaid before the Public, two of my particular friends were
feized with all its fymptoms. On them, I thought it my
duty to attend, that I might render fuch affiftance as
lay in my power. A few days after the difeafe began
to fpread its direful influence in the vicinity of my place
of refidence, and I refolvedto pay the fame attention to
my neighbours as I was willing to do to my friends.
For this refolutionjhowever, I claim no m.erit: For as the
fituation of my family was fuch as to render it improper,
at leaft inconvenient to move, and finding myfelf fur-
rounded with pellilence, I firmly believed, that I wufi
Equally fafe, while performing the common duties of hu-
paanity, to the afRided, as fitting ufelefs in my own ap-
pai vment; nay more, had I remained inactive, my mind
night have become a prey to melancholy, and I fliould,
in all probability, have been opprcffed with fear, than
vvhich there is not a greater predifponent caufe to difor-
per, nor pcihaps an equal caufe in making its termina-
pon fatal. Reafoning in this manner, and trufting in
iDivine Providence for proteftion, I therefore dctcrmi-
^led to make no hefitation in viGting any fick perfon to
Ufhom I could be ufcful.

Health-OJfice, Aigiifi 6, 1798.
TO THE MAY O R.
Sir
THE u' iflied fitiiation of the docks in Front-dreet,
between C '.ies and the Old-flip, generally, was, in the
opinion ot tne CommilTioncrs of the Health-Office, a
{burceofdifeafe in that neighbourhood lad year, and oc-
cafioned the death of feveral valuable citizens. At that
period it became a fubjecl of remonftrance to the Com-
mon Council.
The Commiffioners cannot fufficienily regret, that they
have reafon to renew their reraoiiftrances on this fubje6t9
and that its prefent fituation is likely to be produclive of
ftill greater evils than thofe of laft year.
Several perlbns have fickened in the neighbourhood of
thefc unfinifhed grounds within a vreek, and with fymp-
toms flrikingly charaCleriitic of Yello\>/-Fever.
If the Common Council think proper to appoint two of
their members, the Commifhoners will meet them earlv
to-morrow-morning, to concert meafures adapted to the
exigency of the cafe.
I am refpeutfully.
Sir,
Y'our mofl obedient fervant,
RICHARD BAYLEY, Hcalth-OJuer.
On the fame day they iffued an advertifement, notifying
their determination to put the laws in force with refpecf to
ihofe who fhould be delinquent in regard to keeping the
ftreets clean, before their refpe^live doors, and in remov-
ing dirt from their yards and cellars, adding that the ftreet
infpe6^tors, whofe immediate duty it was to attend to that
bufmefs, weredireBed to report all offences of this nature
to the police, and that the penalty againft offenders would
be rigidly exadcd.
At the time of this advertifement, however, it was re-
marked both by citizens and ftrangers, that our itreets
were kept uncommonly clean ; but with refpeO: to yards
and cellars, I have reafon to believe diat, to the dilgrace of
fomc individuals, it was in fome cafes otherwife ; — and I
isav add. that where fuch f^uifances have exifled, the in-
lo AM ACCOUNT OF THE
habitants of that vicinity have generally been the fevcreft
fu frsrers, . .
By fome people cur Conimiffioners have been cenfured
for neglecting to notify the citizens officially of the clanger
to '.vhich they were expcfc;d, fo foon as they became ac-
quainted with the exifience of any malignant or pelli-
^enti^l fever in the city. Siich cenfure, however, ap-
pcarj, to me to be very unjuft : for the exiltence of
'ibme cafes of fever was univerfally known towards the
middle of Au'^ult, and became the fubjed of general con-
verfation. The Comrniffioners never denied it, nor did
they attempt to conceal it : But as it v;as the opinion of
tiiofl people, that it was not probable the diforder would
fpread, and that it would vanifli after iacrificing a few indi-
viduals, as had happened in the years 1 795 and 1797, luch
a 'publication, whilil it could have been of no ufe to the
inhabitants, who were well acquainted, with their htuation,
might have been liighly prejudicial to our commerce,, hy
deterring cou.ntry people from coming am.ongfl them, at
a time, when according to every appearance, thev : 'ili
pafs and rcpafs to our city in perfett fafety, an ' :.> t
runr.iiig any_^rirque of receiving inf^clion. -
On the i2th, iSthjand i.^th of Auguit, there was heavy .
(liowers of rain ; that on the 14th, commenced at four in ■
in the morninL>, and continued v;ithout the leall intermif- '
fio;^.- Uiitii nirw with coniiderable thun'Ier : The quantity
•■ a^ . fell dan^u^ thefe five liours, was fuppofed to be
greate'- than had at ap.y time fal en, during the fame fpace
of time for many years. The (treets were covered with
water, in many places knee deep, and a valt Qumber of
. cellars were filled with it.
It v;as at the time, generally believed, that this excefllve
rain and thunder would fo purify the air, that our citf
would in a few days be totally exempt from any cafes of
the diforder, but alas! our expectauons in this rel'peft,
were dreadfully difappointed ; for from this day, it almofc
immediately began to fpread in every direction. But,
however erroneous, the ideas of many have been with
refpecl to this circumftance, feverals thought very differ-
ently ; in particular, a writer in the Commercial Adverti-
ser, on the evenii>g of the 14th, the day on which thi

days, exhale a peililent v/ater, which may generate the
mod dangerous infeftious diforders, to prevent which, af-
ter the removal of the water, a liberal ule of lane iii<>uld
be made by fcattering it over the cellar. It is to be hopt:d
that a regard to ielf-prefervation w ill produce the rnoit
prompt and active exertions towardi* this alarming ebjOW ;
thofe who negleH it, will be amongil the hrit vicUnis of a
ravaging difeafe, which a little timely attention ir.ight have
kept from our at prefent healthy city-"
A day or two alter, in the iame paper, a ^\•riter3 afi^r
mentioning the late floods of water, obfenes, that " If
.mmediate and vigorous meafures are not taken to oblige
oeople to have their cellars emptied and well vetitilatcd
iud dried, one week will produce in this citv, a moie
malignant nckhefs than Philadelphia now- experiences, pr
than New- York has witnelTed inice its lirii settlement." .
My intention in quoting thefe extratls, is to put our ci-
tizens on guard againft an indolent fecurity, fhould we be
igain attacked by the Yellow-Fever : For heat and moif.
.ure combined will ever produce putrid va'cours. and
thefe, from the eajliell ages ofphylic, have been ahivoil
univerfaily allowed to be the fource of peliilenlial dti-
jrders.
Our Health-ComrailTioners, on this occaHon, certain-
y defervedwell of the public. Their utmolt endeavours
vere exerted to have every nuifance removed, and iis far
IS lay in their power, to prevent the fprcading of the dif-
.^afe, with which we then began to be afflided. Their en-
deavours, however, were inelfeftual, as the number of
dcadis from this time almofl: daily cncreafcd.
'« AN ACCOUNT OF THE
. About the 24th numbers began to leave the eity, ai
many of thofe v,ho had oMices lor the tranfaftion of bu
nefs in that part of the city which lies towards the Eafl F
X'er, moved to Broadway, which was deemed more he.
thy. TheCuIiom-Houfe, likewife, in Miil-ftreet, ai '
the Infurance-Office in Water-ftrcet, were fixed for t
time in the Tontine-City-Tavern, in Broadway. Duri
the whole month of Auguft^ the number of deaths amou
ed to one hundred and thirty three men, fifty five wohk
and one hundred and forty one childrenj making in i\\
three hundred and twenty nine. As particular attenti-^rr
had not been hitherto paid by the fextons to diftingu;'
thofe who fell victims to the fever, from thofe who had
diedof any other diforder, it is diiBcult to afcertain their
precife numbers. Perhaps, if it be fixed at one hundre i,
v;c fliall not be far from the truthj particularly as it
certain that by far thegreatell number of the children wei
cut ofiF by the flux, a diforder which generally proves
tal to infants at this feafon of the year. On the 15th /
guu the deaths were 14, from which day the number v
ftiir progreffing, fo that on the ift September, they amou
to 23. The daily average during Augufl: was about :
On the 15th of Sept. the number of funerals were '.
on the awful 19th, they v/ere no Icfs.than 6^, and on ca
of the two days following, they v/ere re;duced to 40, frc ^
which circumltance v/e began to entertain hopes that c
mortal foe was about to leave us, but we were again q:i-
appointed, lor the next four days it kept lUifiuating l-
tween 41 and 50, and on the 26th rofe up to 60. T';:
total number of deaths, during this rr!r,rith, v/as elev :i
hundred and fifty two, of v;]u>m nine hundred and fii •,
four died of fever. Six hundred and forty eight, wtR
men, three hundred and fifty four women, and and one
liundred and fifty two children. The daily average thio"
the month was about 38. By the 15th of this month, our
fituation was knov.-n at a diftancc, as on that day a procj;;
mation was ilTued by James Cahounj efqr Ma}^or of Be '
timore, prohibiting the entrance into the city ofBaltimo'
or within three miles thereof, of all perfons whomfoevt-s
who had come from the cities of Nev/-York or Philadc'
pHia, or from Wilmington in the fiate of Delaware, aid

GOmmunication with them, until they could pi oduce an ap-
proved certificate of their abfencc from thcfc places at
Icaft 15 days previous thereto."
Our number of dead on the id Oclober was 43, ahr:
this was the greatcft numberduring the w^hole month. Or,
the 18th it was reduced to 16, and on the 2itL it only a-
Hiounted to 9. After this, the number of deaths on any
one day during the exiftcnce of the calamity, did not ex-
ceed 15, and it is certain that had our abfent citizens at-
tended to the advice of the Health-Committee, as pub-
liflied in the different newfpapers about this time, diiluad-
ing them from a premature return, the death warrant of
the difordcr might have been dated from, about this day ;
but it is greatly to be regretted, that numbers of our
valuable citizens, by not attending to this admonition,
are now tenants of the grave, wlio, liad they only remain-
ed till after the froftj which took place in the latter end
of Odober and beginning of November, nnght have
now, very probably, been in good heaUh, Ti^e whole
niimber of funerals for OQobcr, was five hundred and
twenty two, two hundred and nine of whom were men,
one hundred and fifty eight women, and fevcnty lour
children. Of thefe four hundred and thirty one died of
fever. The average of the deaths, during this nionth, was
about 17. On the i.cth November, the deaths were only
5, and on each of the preceding days, thev were only 4.
The total number during thefe lo days, were 83, ofv/hom
41 were men, twenty two women, and twenty children.
Of thefe thirty nine died of the fever ; the dailv average
was about 8. The follovring addrefs. of '-he Committer
jiow made its appearance in all the newfpape:-: : —
" The Health-Committee forthe relief of the fick. and
indigent in the city of New-York, beg leave to congrata-
late their fcllovz-cidzens, that under Divine Providence,
this long afflitled city is once more reflored to its ufuai
{late of general health, and with the molt I:eartfelt plea-
sure inform thofe who yet remain in exile, that although
a few cafes of the peililential fever exiits, yet that by the
late cold weather and froft, the contagionis fo fardeiircy-
ed as to lender the return oftheir families to the city per-
feftly fafe, provided they take the nccelfary previous me-'
(ures of clcanfing and ventilating their Ion«: unaired dv

lings, and purifying the bedding and clothing which may
have been left therein during the prevalence of the fever.
It would have afforded the Conimittee much fatisfa6tion
could they have given this invitation at an earlier period,
but they did not conceive themfelves warranted by the then^
exifting circumftances. There have, until the prefcnt
moment, been feveral new cafes of fever, particularly a-
inong.thofe citizens who returned earlier than the Com-^
mittee thought prudent; many of whom have fallen viB.-
ims to the devouring peftilence. 'Ihis, among other cir-
cumilances, bas induced the Committee to withhold this
invitation until the prcfent time. The Committee beg
leave further to inform their fellovz-icitizens, that from the
numerous applications from the indigent lor relief, they,
iindit abfolutely necelfary to continue their labours fome
time longer." .
The rcfult of the whole number of deaths, during this
awful calamity, was tv.'o thoufand and eightyhx, viz.
eleven hundred and ten men, five hundred and eighty-nine
women and eight hundred and eighty-dve children. Of
thefe, if we admit that one hundred died of the fever in
Auguft, its viftims would amount to one thoufand hve
hundred and- twcntyrfcur. A greatmany of our citizens
too, who fled, were likewife cut off by it, hence it is pro-
bable, that the fum of deaths would be between two thou-
fand four hundred, and two thoufand five hundred : An
awful number indeed ! Particularly if we confider that
more than one third, fome fuppofe that one half of the
inhabitants, had left the city. '
An opinion prevailed with many, that the progrefs of
the diieafe varied according to the ftatc of the atmofphere.
To this I have paid fome attention; but have not been
able to afcertain that the opinion is corre£l. My readers,
hov.'evcr, by comparing the table of Meteorological Ob-
fervations w ith that which contains the daily returns of the
dead, will be able to fatisfy themfelves in this particular.
But, however doubtful 1 may be wnth refpeft to the above
obfcrvations in general, I am certain, that cool mornings
and eveni.tigs, accompanied by hot days, contributed great-
ly to fprcad the infection ; that in cafe of a yellow fever, it

les till froft has fct in ; and that a keen frofl undoubt-

edly puts an almoft inftantaneous termination to the pro-
grcfs of thediforder.
Having thus given an account of the rife, progrefs, and
decline of the late fever, I (hall . next lay before my
readers, two communications with which I have been
politely favoured, with refpe6l to its origin Sec.
The firfl is from Doctor Samuel L. Mitchell^ Profcifor
of Statural HiJlor)\ Agriculture., and Chcmijlry in Coliiv.i-
bia College., a gendeman whofe literary talents are not only
celebratedin America, but likewife in every part of civiK
ized Europe. His opinion is contained in a letter ad-
dreffed to me, inanfwerto one which I had written to him
on the 23d of Noveinber laft, and is as follows. —
New-York, November 2\, 1793.
Sir,
JN your letter of yeflerday, you requed me to furnifii
you with fuch hints as may occur to me concerning the
origin of the dillemper, which, during the lad three mdnths,
has affli6led the city of New-York. I with pleafure com-
municate to you on this point, fuch general ideas, as in-
•ftant recolleftion fupplies me with. The great difpnte
which divides the citizens of the United States, whether this
diitempcr is produced at home, or introduced from
abroad, appears to me to be more of a fpeculativc than of
a praQical nature. The experience o^ the inhabitants of
ancient Rome, London, and indeed of mofl; large and
populous cities in Europe and Afia, have in the progrefs
of their fetdement, fuffered exceffively from mortal epe-
demics, Bafsorah has more than once been nearly depo-
pulated, and other great cities of the eallern world, have
from time to time, experienced a fimilar difafler. It is
fufficiently evident to me that the produftion and con-
tinuance of thefe plagues are owing to an imperfecl and
wretched police ; and I judge fo becaufe in all fiiuaticns
natuirally healthy, where hcknefs of that kind has prevailed,
it has been in all cafes mitigated, and in many almoil en-
t rely prevented, by the adoption of proper local regula-
tions. I think the experience of mankind is deciuve on
this point.
i6 AN ACCOUNT OF THE
Kevv'-York, and fome other cities and tov»^ns of North
America, are beginning to fulfer what other cities and towns
in ancient and modern times have undergone before tliem. In
this country we have as yet loll only our thoufands, but
in I'urope and Afia, they have lolt their tens of thoufands,
and hundreds of thoufands. A fate as fevere as theirs
awaits us, if we refufe to profit by their experience. It is
wifer and better to undertake reformation at once, than by
\vaiting fifty, or an hundred, or five hundred years, with
filch decay of induftry and deltru£tion of hfe, as has been
lately our lot, and after all be compelled to execute at
laft, that which is both our intereft and our duty to perfiDrm
without a moments delay.
I confider cleanlinefs in our perfons, clothing and habita^
tions, to be a matter of moral obligation ; and the punifli-
jnent which providence has wifely thought proper to in-
flicl upon thofe who violate this law is ficknefs, not un-
frequendy terminating in yellow-fever, peflilence and
plague.
There is a vulgar faying which I have often heard
" never mind ii, om's own najlinefs is fwtet." It is
certain that individuals endure patiently or even with-
out adverting to it, more of their own dirt than of other
peoples' Matikind in almoft all places appear to have
afted for a long time under the influence of this pernici-
ous error; and accordingly when diftempers have brokem
out in conlequence of their own careleflhefs and indifcre-
lion, they have been fond of laying the blame on others.
Hence it has been aflbrtcd with the utmoft politivenefs that
the yellow-fever has been imported from the Weft-Indies,
and plague from the Levant, while at the very time thefe
afiertions are fo confidendy made by fome among us, the
fad of local origin in thofe very places and countries is
flatly denied by the people v/ho dwell there. They like
our own countrymen " think their own naftinefs fv/eet,"
and cannot be perfuaded it has any thing unhealthy or
noxious in it.
But let us be candid and examine the fubjeft fairly : If
an army of ten thoufand or any other number of men is
encamped long in one fpot of ground, it often happens
that fevers and dyfenteries break out among the foldiers )
the number gf men fit for parade hourly diminifhes, and
li

the Hofpitali are crouded with the fick. ' There can be
no queftion that in fuch cafes the caufcs of thofe diltem-
pers are engendered there. Every prudent general knows
the way to ftopthe ravages of the difcafe is to quit the in-
feBed fpot, and encamp upon a nev/ and frelh piece of
ground. And this ought alv/ay^j to be attended to in cam-
paigns, where the nature of the fervice will permit. Iii
this cafe the men move away and leave the nuifances be-
hind.
What now is a modern city but a vail encampment?
Are not the fame caufl-s of dileafe, daily and hourly accu-
mulating ? Ought it to be a matter of i'urprize, that during
a moift and hot feafon venorn fliould be produced, rife
into the air, and render it too foul and poifonous to fup-
port life ? If it was poflible to abandon the contaminated
place, and change our ground, as a general changes his
camp, the inhabitants of citieswouldei'cape difeafes as well
provided armies do. But feats of coriimerce, trade and
manufafture, are dcllined to be the perpetual rehdence of
perfons engaged in certain kinds of buimefs, who cannot,
without irreparable lofs and ruin, quit their improvementi
and occupations. There is a neceflity, therefore, a
they cannot move away from their nuifances, that
THEIR NUISANCES SHOULD BE MOVED AWAY rROM
THEM. Both common fenfe and common decency de-
mand the performance of this.
To be a little more particular : If my inforx..;.Lion is
correct, the exhalations from privies and links iii many
parts of this city, have become not only intolerably of-
fenfive, butaclually peftilential, and the can fe ofdn^eafe.
The vapours ilfuing from barrels of putrif) ir.g beef have
poifoned a number of our citizens. Many Itores, yards
and cellars abound with fubflances equally detrimental
to health; and in addition to this, it delerves to be men-
tioned that human carcafesj buried and accumulated for
a long feries of years, have poifoned the air in many parts
of chrillcndom, and that by the concurrence of both mu-
nicipal and fpiritual authority, the practice of interrinsrin
cities and church-yards, has been abfolutely prohibited in
many parts of Italy, oi^. account of the horrid mifchiefs
occalioned theieby. Although the evil has no: grown
to fuch an alarming height rimong ourfelvcs at this dav,
C . ';
i9 AN ACCOUNT OF THE
yet it is certainly worthy of confideration, whether it would
not be better at once for chrillians to difcard the fupcr-
ftition which leads to this praclice, and imitate the Jews
and Mahometans in conveying their carrion entirely out
of town and burying it in places remote from the habita-
tions of the living. A regard for the prefervation of po-
Pj^rity, as wellas our own prefent and perfonal fecurity,
impo(eson*us the adoption of fome decifive meafures
upon this head.
So much for local origin in and about the habitations
Gi uicn on JJiore. See next how the queftion ftands with
rei'pect to iviportation. It is acknowledged, as has been
obferved, that citie"s, camps and houfes, may become pe-
iiilential and unfafe to dwell in, by reafon of poifonous
iTiatter bred within them. Now, what is a fliip but a
hcujc ajlcat ? Every fea-veflfel is, properly fpeaking, a
human habitation. And in this houfe or habitation are
f lequently colle6ted all the materials which are known to
produce peltilcnce on die land. Human beings, too of-
"en neg'eftful of cleanlinefs during health, and m times of
cknefs frequently Avallowing ui their own fikhinefs, are
«'e tenants of thefe floating houfes ; and they are fome-
<imes furroudcdby the fickening exhalations emitted from
^kmaged provihons, hides, coffee, and whatever elfe
compofes their eargo, rendered aftiveby moifture, quick-
ened by heat, and multiplied by being kept under hatches.
Of all the contrivances of art, a fhip feems the moft
completely calculated to concentre <&:work uptothehighefl
degree of virulence, all manner of plague-producing things.
The hiftory of expeditions boih for war and commerce,
hy fea, furnifhes abundant evidence of this truth. Im-
portation then {lands thus ; the ficknefs of the crew may
be caufed by peftilential fluids, and thefe fluids are extri-
cated from foul and corrupt fubflances on board the vejfel^
and is as much local in its origin there as in any place
that can be pointed out in this or any other city. Fur-
ther, I have it on the information o^ rpfpectable mafters
m veffels, that in numberlefs infianc the men fall fick
ON BOARD, not only at fea, but in f ) gn ports and har-
bours without ever having been on fl ^, or having con-
nexion with any perfon or thing that 1 come from the
fliore. And what adds to the conclu. nefi of this ftatc-

written to him, on the 23d of the lame month. Ths^
Gendeman is indeed no regular bred phyhcian ; but as
from motives of hjmanity, he had been very aitenave to
the diftreffes of the fick, during tke calamity of the year
1 795? .and being a perfon of obfervation, h& foon became
acquainted with that mode of treatment ; which was molt
conducive to their recovery. Upon the commencement
of the fever of 1798, being again aauated by the moll
philanthropic principles, lie embarked in tlie fame hazard-

and whofe direafes wore cured by his means will no doubt
think, as long as they live, of their benefaftor with gra-^

Kzw-YoRK, i£th Mo. 30th 1798.
ESTEEMED FRIEND,-
JAMES HARDIE,
THY favor of the 23d. inft. I have the pleafure of ac-
knowledging. In this thou afkeft my opinion, refpeSing
the origin of the diforder, to which ib many of our citi-
zens have recently become victims ; the method of cure
purfued by mc, and my opinion, what fliould be done by
the proper authority, to prevent a return ofthis terrible
peililence.
In a mind, void of prejudice, it is more difficult, per-
haps, to form an exa8; opinion of the origiti of this difor-
der, than moft people, upon a tranfient view of the fub-
■jecl, v/ould fuppofe ; for my own part, neither my educa-
tion, nor my inclination, will permit me to form any theo-
ries, concerning the firft engendering of peftilence, from
combinations of gazes, or other caufes. The dens, in
which it is bred, and in which it lurks, until it iffues fordi
to feize its prey, are more proper objects for perfons in
ray fphere of life to enquire out and explore. To this
purpofe I have frequently revolved in my mind, whether
:: was an imported or homebred diforder, feveral circum-
itances concurring to produce an opinion of its being the
latter. The rapid progrefs of it, during one of the hoteft
fummers we have ever experienced, juft after a very heavy
fall of rain, which ftagnated in almofl: an innumerable
number of cellars and back yards j the malignancy of it
MALIGNANT FEVER. ti
in the neighbourhood of fome of thofe cellars. m?:ny of
them ftowed with large quantities of putrid beef; in me
neighbourhood of filthy fev/ers, or other nuifances, and,
alfo, from its fpreading on Golden-hill and Cliff-ftreet,
which are in a northerly direftion from fome of thofe dens
of peftilence 1 havejuft mentioned, and of courfe liable
to be afted upon by the prevailing-iouth winds. But how-
ever well founded this opinion may be, with refpecl to the
agency of thofe things, in producing the difeafe, yet with
all thefe, other facls, which I will relate, has aiaioft in-,
duced me to believe, that all is not to be charged to them.
They rendered the neighbourhood highly combuilible, but
perhaps a fpark of contagion might be neceffary to pro-
duce fo dreadful a conflagration. The fir ft appearance of
the diforder was in Front-lireet, near Coennes-flip, where
Mclanfton Smith died, about the 2 8tb, or 29th of July,
and on the 30th Peter A. Schenk was taken feverely lick.
The following week, one Wilfon, M, Smith, jun. Peier
Duftan and wife, and A Adriance, had flight attacks, from
whence it fpread to other families in a very fhort time. -•
The next appearance of the fever was at the houfe of
Henry Mead, at the lower corner on the weR fide of the
New-flip. Some time in July, the (hip Fame, faid to
have arrived from fome one of the Weft-India ifiands,
came to the wharf next below the New-flip, and lay there
fome time. About the 3d or 4th of Augutl, fome people
went to difcharging the ballaft and pumping her out ; a-
mong the ballafl was a quantity of damaged coffee, ex-
trem.ely putrid, which, with the water difcharged from the
pump, was fo oflTenlive to the fmell, that the neighbours
were induced to fhut their windows, efpecially while eat-
ing. About the 6th of faid month, the following perfons
fpenta confiderable part of the day at Mead'vS houfe, John
Taylor, Ebenezer Taylor, Sylvanus Seaman, Monrxiouth
Hubbs, Walter Davis, Auguflus Peck, and a youn-r
man, clerk in a ftoie near the exchange : Mofi of' thefe
* The people of this neiglihoiimood laid the hhrr.s of their ^lck.^c^s to the
fchooner Fok, which arrivcti f:oin Jerc.Tjie between the middle and latter
part of July, and hawkd to a wharf a little eaft of Coenties-flip, where fhe
unloaded, and upon pumpinp her out, her biige-water was very ofFcnfive ;
but I think the filth to be objervcd in this part of the to-vn. o'lite as likely to
give them fever as bilg^-wa'cr and tnohlTrs.
22 AN ACCOUNT OF THE
dined there, and curing their dinner, they were under the
neceffityof fliutting up their doors and windows, though
the weather was very warm, fo exceedingly were they aii^
noyed by the Uench from the fliip. Of this company,
colleaedfrom feveral quarters, and who difperfed to their
refpcdive homes, not a Tingle one efcaped fevere Tick-
nefs, whiah they were taken with in from 4 to 5 days, and
of which John and Ebenezer Taylor died. Two perfons
belonging to the family were alfo fick. The next houfe
above this, (there being none below it) was at the lame
tim.e vifited, and of 5 perfons, three were taken danger-
ouflyill and2died : In the fecond houfe above, 3 more
perfons were (ick at the frjnc time, and 1 died ; and the
family of the houfe next to this, Ihared a fimilar fate, 3
were fick, two of whom died in a very fiiort time. Many
of the boatmen, whofe veifels lay in the flip at this period,
fared no better, a number of them being viftims to this
flench, or the contagion it produced. On the eaft fide
of the flip, the inhabitants at this time were as healthy as
ufual for the fcafon ; but in the neighbourhood northcrb/,
the diforder fpread with great rapidity ; fcarcely a family
efcaped levere ficknefs for fome diftance in that dire£lion :
it is to be obferved that the wind was wholly foutherly. —
Nathaniel Clark, who lives in Cherry-ftreet, in this neigh-,
bourhood, was on the wharf where this fhip lay, and went
hame to his family, complained much of the ftench he
had fmelt there, and in 3 or 4 days was taken with the
fever, which he had feverely : Several of his family ficken-
ed fhortly after. From thefe fa6ls it appears that the fick-
nefs in this quarter was caufed by the fhip ; whether it was
created in her, or brought from another countr)', I cannot
undertake to determine ; but be it as it may, the fever was
undoubtedly there contagious: and fpread to diftant parts
of the town by means of the fick ; the bodies of the inha-
bitants having (as I fuppofe) been rendered ripe for its re-
ception. From here I can trace it to the neighbourhood
of Golden-hill, where a man named Harper, died in Gold-
itreet on the 11th of Auguft. One Fowler died the i8th
offame month in |ohn-flreet ; and the 3d viftim was So-
lomon Carl, who died on the 20th, in Gold-flreet. Har-
per imputed the origin of his ficknefs to his having croffed
the deck of the aiip beforcmcntioued three days before he

was taken ; a refpe^iable merchant was v;ith hun, who has
fince told me they were offended with a very dilagreeable
fmell. Solomon Carl was at the funeral of a woman na-
med Jones, who had died in the neighbourhood of the
New-Slip, about 3 days before he fickened himfelf.
The methods I purf ued to cure the diforder were gene-
rally very fimple, fuch as were dictated by nature, and a
fmall fiiare of experience I had in the year 1795. I en-
deavoured always to purge the patient, bring on a gentle
perfpiration and continue it, which treatment of iti'clf I
may fay cured hundreds ; the medicines I fele61ed to
bring about diofe ends, were fuch as I deemed mildei!: and
moft efficacious in their operation -. for die firft purpofe I
ufed caftor oil, and for the other, warm teas of cat-nip or
balm ; In obllinate cafes, or cafes attended with delirium,
I ufed hot applications of afhes, bricks, &:c. wet with vi-
negar and fpirits, and if I could raife a perfpiration a cure
generally enfued, particularly among middle aged perfons
of good conftitutions. Thofe were the methods moft ulcd,
tho* I found itnecelfary to varv and ufe other means at
times, according to the conftitution of the patient, or ftage
of the difeafe, when 1 firil began my prefcriptions.
My opinion concerning what is neceffary to prevent a
return of this diforder is formed from the fatls I have before
related. I think it neceffary to abfolutely prohibit Ilagnant
waters and t® compel thofe perfons who have wet cellars,
to keep them condantly pumped out and cleaned ; to fHi
up the docks and flips, if not entirely, at leaft fuch parts
of them as are too far from running water, or are expofed
to the fun at low-water ; to prevent provifions from bein-^
flored at all in town, during certain feafons of the year.
Altho' diis may be thought a great inconvenience, yet let
it be remembered that the health of the whole ought not
to be rifqued for the convenience of many, much lefs f^r
a few ; at all events provifions ought to be kept out of
damp cellars in hot weather, for when they are not abfo-
lutely fpoiled, their pickle fometlmes fmells very oSep.-
five, and I judge all air to be noxious thatolfends my nofc,
at leaft, I know of no rule of judging which admits of
fewer exceptions ; to fill up the common fcwers where
prafclicable and let the filth which they are iinended to
hide appear to the eye in all its deformity, which Wiil

irillire a more fpeedy removal ; where they cannot be fil-
led np with propriety from the particular lituation of the
ground (if any fuch lituation exiR) let lime be frequently
put in them; to prevent velfcls which may arrive from
warm climates during certain months in the year from
coming to the city at all, until they have landed their car-
goes at fon:ie convenieut place, remote from the centre of
population,* where ware-houfes might be prepared for
die reception of their goods and from whence they might
be tranfported at little expence to their refpeciive con-
iignees, after having been duly examined by a proper
oificer appointed for that purpofe, vvhofe duty it Ihould
alio be to fee that the fhips'were cleaned by admitting
clean water ia'them and pumping it out, and afterward:, pro-
perly fumigating them, after which they might freely be ad-
mitted to load at the ufual wharves. I alfo think (from
converfations I have had with feveral judicious perfons
upon the fubjeft) that it v/culd be proper to introduce the
ule of coal altogether as fuel in the low parts of the city,
where the ground has been made wholly, or in part by co-
vering marlhes and floughs, with a few feet of harder earth:
The method to be fallen upon to caufe coal to be generally
ufed in thofe fituations , v/ould perhaps require much
confideration, by thofe whofe province it is to conlider on
it ; but I am inclined to believe, if it ihould be found up-
on due enquiry to be neceffary, the general good fenfe of
the people would lead them to adopt it without compulfi-
on. If to all thefe regulations, it were pofiible to add the
falubrious iiilluerkce of a ftream of frefli water, cleanhng
the furface of our ftreets, I think this city may yet be blef-
fed with a 2;ood general Hate of health. I have been thus
particular becaufe thou requefted it : If, from what I have
written, thou canft glean any thing of fervice to thyfelf
or the public, it will give fmcere pleafure to thy real
friend.

The prevalence of the fever in New-York, is accounted
foraj follow?, in the Philadelphia Gazette of the 4th intL
under the Nevv'-York head :
" FEVER.
A very conhderable alarm having taken place among
the citizens, and the moft exaggerated reports circulated
about the country, of the ficknefs with which certain parts
of the city are aiflitled, v/e have thought it a duty to make
fuch enquiries as might enable us to place the matter in a
point of view, as near the truth as poiTible.
" About the beginning of Auguft, in confcquence of
the foul, unlini filed flate of feveral water-lots, on th6 Eaft
river, between Coenties and the Old-flip, upwards of 20
pcrfbns were attacked nearly about the fame time, with
what appeared to bt common colds, fbme llightly, others
more feverely; but the general occurrence of th<? fact in
that neighdourhood, led to a, belief that it arofe from a Icctil
caufe, and threatened fomething more ferious. The foul-
nefs of the lots, and efpecially two vacant ones, being re-
ceptacles of every kind of filth, wasconiidered as thai cauje.y
and in purfuancc of olncial arrangements, they were im-
mediately covered with wholefome fand : The effect was^
a general reftoration of the fick.
in the neighbourhood of the New-Hip, v;here the build-
ings for the moil part are fuiall, and many of them inhabi-
ted by poor people, who live in a crouded manner, and
in fituations incapable of proper ventilation, diieafes oc-
curred about the 12th — a number of perfons died — but
at pre fen t there appears to be no great caufe of alarm in
that quarter.
" About the fame period, or a little later, two or three
peifons were feized at Bruce's wharf, with fufpicious
fymptoms, and fome deaths have taken place therp and in
its vicinity, owing, it is generally thought, to the ex-
tremely foul condiuon of Bruce and Marflon's unhlled
lots, bounding on the Eafl-river, at the foot of Pine-ltreet
the effluvia iffuing from them being highly putrid and of-
fenhve. Meafureshave been taken, and are now in ope-
ration, to cover them with wholefome earth, by which
means it is hoped the evil in that quarter, if it has anic!>
from this fource, may be corrected.
D
aG Alxi ACCOU.VT OF THE
'• About the 20th, feverai perfons were Teized in Cliff-
(ticet, nearly in ihe fame manner as tiiole between Coen-
tics-;]ip and the Old-flip. At iiiR tiiey generally conlider-
ed their complaints to be mere colds taken by keeping
with open windows in the violent hot weather- which then
prevailed — Unfortunately, it was a more lerious cafe.
The patients rapidly grew worfe, and feverai died as well
there as in John, Gold and Rider-ltreets, and Eden's-Al-
lies, all lying widiin the vicinity of Burling-fiip fewer.
Thefe complaints, on inveftigation, were thought to pro-
ceed, in part, from the oifenfive ftate of that fewer ;
which had, for fome- time, become a receptacle for vari-
ous fpecies of putrid matter, and of which the mouth lies
nearly oppofite John-ftreet, commonly called Golden-hill
O.reet — fo that wlienever a South or S. E, wind prevailed,
it blew through the fewer, and bore a column of effluvia
up John flreet, and through that into Cliff and the adja-
cent ftreets, rendering the atmofphere intolerably bad.
The belt informed phyfici'ans are of this opinion. The
head of the fewer has (ince been clofed by a valve-doer,
and a confMerable quantity of c|uick-lime thrown into it,
vvith a view of neutr?vlizing its contents. A hmilar door,
Aviih the fame intention, has been added to the Ferry-
dree t fewer.
" Other caufes are alio alledged, and with -great plau-.
fibility, at lead, if not certainty.
" It is well known that the ceffation of our commer-
cial interconrfe with the French ifiands, in confcqucnce
of their hoftile violence, has gready leffened the demand
for provilions ; of courfe large quantities of beef remain-
ed in many cellars, particularly among the m.erchants of
Pearl-ilreet, Much of this, ftom what is now feen to be
an improper n:ode of packing, as direfted by a late law,
has lately become tainted, emitted a very putrid effluvi-
um— corrupting the air and contributing its fhare as a
caufc of difeafc. We learn that the commiflioners of the
health-office have taken meafures to have it all infpeded,
and the fpoiled removed out of town. Much already has
been fent away, and the remainder is going as faft as pof-
fible.
" The fe caufes, with the immenfe fall of rain, and vi-
olent heatSj experienced in the courfe of Augu(t, are fup-
MALIGNANT FEVER.- . c?
pofed to have originated the difcafe which has fpread fuch
panic as to drive many iamiiies into the country.
" On die moft diligent enquiry, liovvcver, we cannot
find out, that any great ruhjetl of alarm exiits, except
in the neighbourhood of the New-Oip— in the vicinity of"
Burlivg-flip-fewer — and at the foot oi' Paie-llreeL, ^t
which places feveral perCons have died.
" Individual caics have alio occurred m other parts of
the town, but, as in 1795, they remain infulated, and
without communication to the atiendanis, as far as we can
difcover. I'hefe, it is generally diought, were taken at
one or the other places lx:fore mentioned.
" An opinion has been avowed by fome, that the dif-
eafe has been imported, or arofe from damaged coffee,
thrown out of a {hip on Kelly's dock, weft of the Ncw-
llip. This, in the prefent inilance, i^ utterly groundleis,^
and can ferveno purpofe but that of deluhon. The quan-
tity of refufe coffee, alluded to by our advocates for im-
ported contagion, did not exceed half a peck, and was
the mere fweepings of the hold.
" We are informed by a gentleman who has been at tlie
pains to colle6la liil oftheperfons interred in the feveral
burial grounds, that during the laft week they averaged
about 12 per day — and that previous to Sunday laft, there
was no very unufual mortality for the feafon.
''• With refpefcf to new cafes, enquiry at the beft four-
ces, enables us to fay they have very much declined with-
in the laft 24 hours, and that the difeafe yields more readi-
ly to medicine.
*• How far this ftatement authorises the extreme a-
larm which prccipitau^s fo many citizens out of town, v/e
do not know; but it would at leaft be advifeable that ail
who remove fhould leave their houfes, cellars and yards
in a cleanly condition — that fuch as remain may not be ex-
po led to the bad effects of their Garcleffiiefs and indifcrc-
tion.
'• The fyftem of cleanlinefs adopted by the oomiTHfiTi-
oners of the health-office, we are happy to obferve, is pur-
(ued with encreafed vigour; and indefatigable efforts are
daily made by th-at board, to preclude every iource of im-
pure air in the city.
" This ftatement may be depended ou--it is the refuit
of enquiry of the lirft authority."
26 AN ACCOUNT OF THE
To thefc opinions I fhall add another, which my readers,
will no doubt, confider as being very rclpe^able ; I
mean that ot our Health-Otricer., Doctor Bayley. I
have extracted what follows from a late very intereft-
ing publication of his, entitled, " Letters from the
Htalth-OJjice to the Common Council."
To the Common Council of the City of Nevj-Ycrk.
Health-Office, December 4. 1798.
Gentlemen,
IN addition to the facts which are contained in the cor-
refpcnaence between the Health Coinmiihoners and the
Common Council for the year 1798, I fhall ofier to your
coniideration a few remarks upon the origin and progrefs
of the peftiientigl difeafe winch has lately prevailed in this
city; and ni order to corroborate what I may advance, I
ihall, m the frft place take a retrofpecl of events which
Iiave annually taken place in this city, during the warm
months fmce the year 1795.
According to the recoras of the Health -Office, the ycl-
lov; fever appeared in 1796 at White-hall, at the foot of
Pine-ftreet, at Burling-flip, and in the neighbourhood of
Roofevelt-ftreet fewer.
In 1797 between Coenties and the Old flip, in Front-
ilreet, at the Fly-market in feveral inltances, in Fletcher-
lireet, ai Burling-flip, in Water-itreet, adjoining Roole-
velt-ltreet fewer, in George-flreet, and at the foot of Pine-
ftreet.
In 1798 the difeafe firft appeared about midway be-
tween Coenties and the Old-flip, in Front-llreet, be-
tween the ift and 7th of Augult, On the 7th of Auguft
about twenty-three were reported Tick to the Health-Of-
fice. From that period feveral others fickened, and of the
whole number one died. By the 26Lh of Augult, the com-
plaint had difappeared in that quarter in confequencc of
the meafures taken to remove thecaufe, by coverhig the
offenfive lots with clean, wholefome earth.
On the 12th of Augult, it appeared at No, 283, Water-
lireetj in the cafe of Mr. Taylor, in an old broken build-
MALIGNANT FEVER. 29
ing, on an unfinifhed lot at the foot of Dover-ftreet, in
which II perlons died early in 1795, and which has iincc
been repeatedly reprefcnted as a nuifance.
Auguil 12, alfo, the difeafe appeared in the cafe of John
Henderfon, corner of |ames-{lreet, and Batavia-Iane. On
all lides of his rehdence, which was a fmall crowded build-
ing, there were funken lots in an unfinilhed ftate.
Again, on Augult 12, the difeafe appeared in William
V/hitlock, Card-maker, No. 51, Cherry-ftreet. In the
rear and to the foiiih of his reiidence, the lots are very ge-
nerally below the level of the itreets, and without drains.
Augult 13. Murdock M'Lean, Brace's wharf, was
feized, whei'e the difeafe has regularly made i:s appciai"-
ance every warm feafon fince the year 1795.
The firil arrival of lick in this harbour, (to the know-
ledge of the Keakh-Office) from Philadelphia, was on the
13th of Auguil, in the Nev/-York and Philadelphia
Packet, The Captain died on the paflage — the mate was
iick and was fent to Bellevue.

its appearance in different parts of the city on the fame
day, and in the courfe of fix or eight days, in different
ftreets, remote from one another.

so AN ACCOUNT OF THE
On the mornii^g of the 14th, the heavieft rain fell of any
nmc during the year. It began at 5 A. M. and continiie(;i
without mtermiij'on till nine. Numerous cellars, paiti-
cakrly thofe in the low parts of the city, were filled with
v/aier. Lilpenard's meadow, which may he confidcied a»
v.ithin theliraiis of the city was entirely overflowed. In
iix days it had'riot fubfidcd above ten inches ^ and tiie wa-
ler did not pafs off, till a large drain was opened for that
purpofe,by order of the Common Council.

The fudden and great increafe of heat immediately after
the violent rain, appeared to have a proportionately in-
fluence in producing fever. Between that period and the
2 2d Augult, upwards of twenty perfons in Cliff-ftreet,
were feized with flight indifpofitions, which they attributed
to fleeping with open windows during the preceding hot
and moid weather, but which appeared rather as the fore-
runner of yellow fever, for, not only the perfons thus in-
difpofed, but a number of others in the fame flreet, had
that difcafe in the courfe of a few days.
From this period the difeafe became more general; but
its fatality was principally felt in Cliff-flreet and its neigh-
bourhood, at Catherine flip,, in Water-ftreet and on the
uiifmiflied grounds in the louthern part of the city.
Now having feen that the yellow lever had made its ap-
pearance inlsIew-York every year, for feveral years pafl, but
has prevailed in very different degrees, it becomes a matter of
great importance to determine, why the difeafe -was fo
generally prevalenton the low new-made grounds in 1795,
vv'liilft it was fcarcely felt in the more elevated fituations ;
v/hy, in 1796, and. 1797, its appearance was limited to
particular ipots ; and why, in 1798 it not only prevailed

M-ALIGNANT FEVER. 31
on a,li the- new-made grounds, but alfo in parts of the city
which had before been exempted from the difeafe.
Toanfwer thefe queilion.-yin fuch a manner, as to prove
fatisfatlory to every one, might be a very difficult tail;.
I ilial], however, offei fome reafons which may tend to
fhew why the fever was more pi^valent this year, than i;i
the preceding years.
It is well afcertained that in tlie year 1795, there w.a,s aa
unufual degree of heat, and moiliu-re in the atmofphere
during the warmer months — that the Thermonjeter wa^
conhderably higher than in 1796 and 1797, but that in
1.798, the heat greatly exceeded th?.t oi 1795.
Now, as heat and moilture are poweitul agcnis ijj- pro-
ducing peffilential difeafes, fo mull the fame caufes. nccef-
lariiy promote theextenhon of thofe difeafes.
In the year '98, there were belides, local caufes of fever
in this city, which did not, exill in the other leafons, and
which, co-operating with the weather, ferved to extciidthe
difeafe beyond the limits, to which it would probably have
been otherwife confined. I have reference to the immenlc
qu^intities of fpoiled beef^ fifli, and oths^r articles of a
perifhable nature, which were ftored in different parts of
this city. The noxious ex,hal2tions arifmg trom thefe
fourccs, in my apprehenlion, was a great caufe whv the
difeafe arole and raged with great violence in particular
fituations : And when we conlider tlie ludden appearance
of the fever at Golden-hill and in Cliii-ilreet, and: the «ireat
number which iickened nearly at the fame time, there is
great reafon to believe this opinion weil founded.
About the 2cth of A u guff, a report was made to the
Health Oflice, that great quantities of fpoiled bepf were
ftored in Pearl-ftreet^ between Burling and Beekman-flip^.
I'he ftench which iifued from fome of the cellars in tni^
fituation, was fo couliderable, as to prove very offenfjve to
thofe who paffed by, and becaTOC- a, fubjec^ of genera] ob-
fcrvation. Letters, in confequencc,from the Health-Oiiice,
were addielfed to owners of provilions in that quarter, en-
joining them to have the beef examined, and to have fuch
as was fpoiled, fent out of the city. Iniiead, however, of
adopting this plan, the beef was broug^ht from the cellars
into thcitre.e-t, the biyfrpls, opened, aiid tjitj g.utiM pickle
32 AN ACCOUNT OF THE
thrown into the gutters. In fome inftances the examina-
tion was jTiade in the cellars, and the pickle difpofed of in
the fame manner. The gutters which conveyed away
this putrid pickle, led to Bnrling-flip fewer.
The relative fituation of this fewer, and Cliff-ftreet is
fuch that the foutherlyand fouth-eallerly winds, force a
current of air through the fev/er, carrying with it the exhala-
tions ari{ing[from thenoxious matter colletled to2:ether in
that place, and having a diretlion to pafs more immediate-
ly up Golden-hill, and into Clifl-ftreet; and every perfon
in that neighbourhood with whom I have converfed, agrees
as to the offenlive fmell of the air, previous to the appear-
ance of the fever.
On the 20th of Auguft, the wind, which had been blow-
ing from the north and weft fome days previous, fhifted to
the fouth-eait, and continued to blow from that quarter
fome tim.e. In 48 hours after this, there was fcarcely a
houie in Pearl- fireet, near where the fpoiled pravifions
were flored, in the lower end of |ohn-ftreet, and in ClifF-
Itreet, which did not contain fick.
The fudden appearance of fever in this part of the city,
and the great number which were in fo fiiort a time affec-
ted, proves the local nature of the caufe ; and to the one
which I have jnn; mentioned, I have no hefitation, in
afcribing all the effects which v,'ere experienced.
If what we have alledged, be admitted fufiicient to ex-
plain the appearance of fever which took place in ClifF-
llreet, &c. we have made fome advance? towards account-
ing for the general prevalence of the difeafe in 1798.*
But, gentlemen, we have further to remark a particu-
lar difference in the warm feafons of 1798 and 1795.
In 17^)5 the weather was warm and moilf, but there
w"as but very little ram.
In I7q8 the weather was not only much warmer, but
was accompanied by fudden and heavy rains.
Immediately after the rains the public papers teemed
with addreffes to the citizens, entreating them to empt^^
their cellars of the water which had collected in them, or
the moft fatal ctff^fcts would be felt from negleft, or mat-
tention to this circumfiance. It is not ray intention to
difpute the opiiuon advanced by thefe writers. But, if

tne proJu6iion of difcafc, was to be apprehended from the
lodgment of water in pinrcs where the fun's rays lie^-er en-

water in thofe numerous lots and yards withiji this city,
which are feveral feet .below the level of- the ftreets, con .

On examining the records of the legiOature of this ilate,
it will he Found, diat pedtions have been preferred t o that
body, forpermiffion toereft mill-dams on certain ftr'earas
of water in fome of the northern counties, 'and the prayer
of the petitioners has been gianted. The confcquencs
was, that confiderable tra6ts oflow grouTids in the neigh-
hood of the mill-dams, were overflowed ui the fpring, and
after the water had paffed off, and the fuiface of thofi
grounds were expoied to the iiitluence of the fun, exhala-
tions of fo baneful a nature arofe, as to produce a fever
of abilious type, which attacked aaTioIl every body with-
in a certain diftance from their fource, and proved very*
mortal in its eiTe61s. Thecaui'eof this iicknels being fo
obvious, petitions were prefented to the legillature, prav^
ing for a redrefs of the giievances. To corre6t the evil,
it of courfc was necellary to deftroy the mill-darns, aad as
foon as the waters Vvcre unobftrutted, and allowed to flow
in their ufual channel, the country became as healthy a^
before.
Permit me, gentlemen, to aik tlic following quePiions:
If the refult of exhalations arihng from grounds which
have been covered with water in an open country, has
been the produclion of bilious remitdng fevers, attended
with conhderable mortality, whafrefult ought v»'e to ex-

Beiore I conclude, I ihall take the liberty of noticing
fome of the public meaiures that have been adopted for
the- removal of caufes of difeafe in this city. 1 Ihall con-
fine ravfelf to two principal objetts :
E
34 - AN ACCOUNT OF THE
Firjl. The want of a fufficient defcent on the low
ground#along the eaft-river, to carry off the waters from
the flreets, is generally admitted. A confiderp.ble qiian-
liiy of Vvater muft neceffapily llagnate in the gutters of thefc
Itreets, and aJfo in the funken pavement. In dry weather
this lod,o_emcnt confifts principally of Wi),ter which has been
Uj'cd for culinary and other family piirpofes, and muft
therefore, be fuppofed to abound with matters to afford
noxious exhalations,
^iiy an ordinance of the Corporation for cleaning the
ftreets. the inhabitants are diretted to fcrape out the din
and filth coUetled m the gutters, and heap them up
the if reets, to be removed by the I'cavengcrs in the c
of the day.
Now, does this regulation in any degree fub^ e
purpofes for which it was ordained ? Does not ■
ing of this dirt and filth, and expohng nc r
furfaces, increafe the mi fchief which the i.
tended to correft ? I believe, gcntleri;: -e
found no other means to rid the lowground;^ o. v,
from the baneful cffecf s of ftagnant water;*;, and :. = . i-
mulation of noxious matters, than their bcmg freely Weih-
f d by currents of water [lowing over them.
■ 'Second. In the famiC ordinance, the citizens are pro-
hibited from throwing into the ftreets, from their rcfpecl-
ive houfes, cellars, or yards, any dirt, filth, or offals
whatever, except on certain days. Hov/ will this be found
ip operate in removing the cau fes of difeafe ? Should we
not rather afls., how this will be found to operate in in-
creafmg the caufes of difeafe ? One moment's refleftion,
I prefume, will convince us that fome means ought to be
adopted to reiYTedya fyflem fo fraught with mifchief, and
for thefe means I take the liberty of referring you to letter
70, addreffed by the Cpmmiffioners of the Health- Office
to the Common Council.
I have the honor to be.
Gentlemen,
Your moft obedient and
Humble fervant,
R. EAYLEY, Health-OJicer.
MALIGNANT FEVER. 35
F'-om the preceding ftatements, it will appear to my
re . thai the cauieoF the origin of thi^dilurdef, is llill
a )f quellion amongd the learned ; and that it is
1 '-•\\\y decided, whether the calamity, witli which
::;,? United States have within thefe few year^
' ^ifHided,. has been imported, or that it is
.).vn country. Several reafons, how-
, .ae to incline to the latter opinion.
We are ncuated in the lame latitude with thofe
p' ' j.> of the old world, where peililenti-.d diforders annu-
a iy predominate. With thofe places wc are alike expof-
ed duriu'y the fu'mmer months to the united effects of
heat and moilture, and from hniiiar caufes iimilar effects
may be always expeded.
Secondly. The fever with which v.'e v/ere lately afriift-
ed, althouijh its nrli appearance was at ov.e particular fpot,
viz. Cov p/iics-fiip, yet it was foon afterwards i'cen in lb
many cliiFerent parts of the city, and fo far remote from
one anotlier, that it is by no means probable that the con-,
tagion could be communicated lb fpeedily. Indeed, if
the contagion was imported, it would feeni to me, that
there mult have been atleaft feven or eight different four-
ces of infection, orit couldnot have appeared in every di-
recli9n from the fhip-yards to the battery, ahnoft about
the fame time.
Thirdly. As a proof that this fever may be engendered in
our climate, it may be added that it had at different times
made its appearance in the vicinity of iovv^ marlhy grounds
both in tliis and the neighbouring Hates. (See Webjlefs
Colleciion of Papers onthefubjecl of Bilious Fevers prroa~
lent in the United States for a few years pa ji) and that it
appeared in the ftate of New-Jerfey during the hitt
autumn, is pretty evident from the two following extracls .
of letters from two eminent phyhcians in that Hate :
Extract cf a letter from Dr. jGnathan Eb.ier^ of Bridge-
town, I^Jew-Jerfcy^to a Phyfcian in Philadelphia, daced
December 6.
'• From many facts I am induced to believe (tiio' very
reluclantly) that there were cafes of the yellow-fever in
this place during the laii: autumn, which originated on the
fpot, and that its propagation v.'as occafioued, or at lea'i

of Us origination."
^xirati of a letter frxwo Dr. Lurrimis, of Woodbury, dated
Dec. 4. to a Phyjlcian in Philadelphia.
" During the late autumn, in the months of September
and October, I vifited feveral perfons aflPefted with the .
bilious yellow -fever, who had no poITible opportunity of
deriving their diieafe from any foreign fource. Knowing
that this difeafe flight have been of dpmeftic origin, and
probably introduced among them from the city of Phila-
delphia, I was exceedin.e^lv particular in my enquiries on
this .yoint, and being fatisiied from the teliimony of the
perfons attacked, and of the families in which they refided,
of their not having any communication with the city of
Philadelphia for a long time previous to their fullering
viih the difeafe ; and of their having avoided, in the molt
careful manner, all intercourfe with families affefted with
the yellow-feYerin their own neighbourhood, I have no
hefitation in. believing; the-ir difeafe to have been the offs-
pring of local caufes. The Majority of thefe cafes have
occurred iu families living on farms iituated on the Jerfey
ihore of the Delaware. The moil valuable* pait of tlrefe
farms conlift of meadow ; the proximity of thefe fituations
to the Delavvare, and large tra6ls of meadow land lead me
to afcrjbe dieir dileafc (aided by a peculiar ftate o: the
air) to the exiiaia,tions or marih effluvia, arifing from the
low grounds iituated near the banks, and the meadov,'s in
the vicinity of the Delaware. The peculiar difpofiticn
of thele exhalations to produce difeafe and death, was
evinced early in the feafon by the mortality which pre-
vailed among the fowls and cats in this neighbourhood. I
am not alone in having fecn cafes of yellow-fever which
s cannot be traced to contagion. Similar fafts have been
witnellcd this feafon by other Phyficians, in various parts
of New-Jerfey/'
I have already obferved that our climate being the fame
with thofe places in the old world, which are annually ex-
pofed to peftilential diforders, we cannot expeft to be en-
tirely exempt from them. But at the fame time I am
fully perfuaded, that if we make ufe of thofe means,
which Divine Providence has put in our power, we have
little to apprehend, on the fcore of their return or fpread-

ing in i-his country. In Turkey v;herepeftiknlial difor-
ders are exceedingly prevalent, fuch is the indolence o:
the inhabitants that little or no attempts are made to pre-
vent their return or lo flop their ravages : for to ufe the
Avords of Mr jqhn Payne, in his excellent fyftem- of Ge-
ography, now piiblifhnrg in this city, by John Low,
Bpokfellcr, at the Shakeipeare's Head, No. 332 Water,
llreet, " The doftrine of predeftination and lull more the
barbarifm of the government have hitherto prevented the
Turks from a« teiijpting to guard againft this deftruflive
diforder, (meaniug the plague) : the fuecefs hov/evtr, of
the precautions taken by tlie P'rauks, has of late began to
niake fome impreifians upon many of them. The
Chriftians of the country, who trade v/ith European na-
tions, would be difpofed to fnut themfelves up- like them ;
but this they cannot do withour the authority of the
J*orte. It feems indeed, as if the Divan would at laft pay
fome attention to this objeQ:, if it be true that an edict was
iiiued in 1783, for the eflablifhment of a Lazaretto at
Conftantinople and three others at Smyrna, Candia, and
Alexandria. The government of Tunis adopted this wife
raeafure fome years ago ; but the Turki'h police is every
■where fo wretched, that htti'C futcefs can be hoped from
thefe eftabiiftiHRents notwith(iarKling their extreme impor-
tance and the fafety of the Mediterranean flates."
The above is the ftate of peUilential diforders amongft
them ; but furely with us it is widely different. Many
of our citizens, indeed, believe in the doctrine of predelli-
nation as well as the Turks ; but at the iiune time, almoii:
every indnidual in cafe of any calamity; thinks it his du-
ty to make ufe of thofe means which Pre; idcnce has put
in his power, to avert it. Our police is likewife, by no
means, wretched. Our magiftrates, to whom the licakli
of our citizens is confided, are men of intelligence, and
v;hen the fources from which pePiileuce arife in our cities
is. better underfiood, which from theiucafures lately taken,
we may loon expect, there is little doubt, that our cities
fliall m a fhort time be either wholly exempt from, or at
leaft partially viilted by the direful calamity of the yellcv-
fever.
Tq prevent its return has not only been an objeft of
defn-QUi enquiry with the magitlrates of diffeient cities

but alfo with our national government : for the Prefident
of the United States, in his I'peech on the opening of the
laft feffior of Congrefs, thus addreffed himfelf to the Se-
nate and Houfe of Reprefentatives : —
'" While with reverence and refignation we contem-
plate the diipenfations of Divine Providence, in the a-
larming and deftrudive peliilence with which feveral of
our cities and towns have been vifited, there is caufe for
gratitude and mutual congratulations, that the malady has
tiiiappeared, and that we are again permitted to affemble
in fafety, at the feat of government, for the difcharge of
our important duties. But when v/e refleft, that this
fdaldiiorder has, within a few years made repeated rava-
ges in fome of our principal feaports, and with increafed
malignancy, and when v.'e coniider the magnitude of the
evils ariinig from the interruption of public and private
bulinefs, whereby the national interefis are deeply affefted ;
r think it my duty toinvite the legiflature of the union to
examine the expediency of eilablifhing fuitable regulati-
ons in aid of the health laws of the refpe8ive ftates ; for
thefe being formed on the idea that contagious ficknefs
may be communicated tinoughout the channels of com-
merce, there fcems to be a neceffity, that Congrefs who
aionc can regulate trade, fhould frame a fyftem which,
while it may tend to prelerve the general health, may bf
compatible with the iiuereils of commerce, and the fafeiy
of the revenue."
The Governor of Pennfylvania, likewife in his addrefs
to the legillature ofthatftate, recommends to their feri-
ous coniideration, fuch meafures as he believed mofl
likely to prevent a like vifitation as tiiat of the autumns
of 1793, ^797? ^^'^^ 179^ j ^^^ I ^"^ happy to add, that
the buhnels v.iU no doubt be taken up by the general go-
veininent of the Union, as a committee was appointed
to report on that part of the prelident's fpeech, which

that the Common Council of New York, anxious to
guard our city agamll the return of peftilence, addrelTed
tli€ Medical Society, foon after the decline of the difor-
der rcquefiing them to give their opinions with lefpetl

confequence the fociety appointed a committee of their
own body, confifting of Doftors Samuel L. Mitchell,
James Tillary, and John B. Rodgers, to confider the mat-

thefe gentlemen are well known, and their zeal and anxi-
ety to prevent the fufferings of the diftrelTed, will never
be called in quellion. We may, therefore, fpeedily ex-
pe6l, from their united efforts, a publication, which will
be read by mod of our citizens with the greatefl: avidity ;
and which I have no doubt will be productive of the high-
eft utility. ^^'■
The iituation of our fellow-citizens in Philadelphia, was
not very different from thofe of New-York. What, there-
fore, might be ufeful to prevent the return of the fever
inone place, may be of equal utility in anodier. I ilial!,
therefore, lay before my readers the cpinion of the aca-
demy of medicine of Philadelphia, addreffed to the go-
vernor.
On the Origin and Means of preventing the return of the
Yellow Fever.
Sir,
IN order to comply v/ith your requefl; Jo the academy
of medicine, communicated by Dr. Samuel Duflield,
the confulting phyfician of the port, refpefting the means,
of preventing the return of the epidemic fever which has
lately afflifted our city, the academy have conceived the
hiftory of its origin, neceffariiy connetted with their
anfwer.
We believe it was derived from the following fources :
1. The exhalations of the alleys, gutters, docks, and
common fewers of the city ; and from ftagnating water in
its neighborhood.
2. The foul air difcharged with the ballafl of the fhip
Deborah, and the cargo of the brig Mary : the former of
which arrived from Hifpaniola on the i8di of July, and
the latter on the 29th of the fame month. We rejetl the
opinion of an imported hum.an contagion in either of the
above veffels. It has not been afferted that any perfon
died of the yellow fever on board the Mary, during her
voyage; and if it be faid, that feveral peribns died on
40 AN ACCOUNT OF THE
board the Deborah of that difeafcj on her paflage to this
. city, we cannot admit that they contaminated the timbers
or contents of the fhip in fuch a manner, as to fprcad the
difeafe to pevTons at (everal hundred feet difiance from
the wharf at which Ihe was moored. The improbability
of this opinion will appear iiom two conliderations.
Fir{i — -7'he difeafe is not contagious in the Weft Indies;
and rarefy, if ever fo, in the United Slates in hot weather,
a:t which time only it makes its firft appearance in our
country. So general is this opinion, that fome phyficians
have unfortunately ttl^zd to admit the exiftence of the
fc^^er in its Commencement m our city, only becaufeit was
cot rontagious.
Second — The difeafe was in no inftance propagated by
thofe perfons who were fuppofed to have derived it from
human contagion, adhering to the timbers and contents
of the Deborah and Mary, and who died with it in parts
of the city remote from the inlluence of the foul air of
thofe veffels.
It is faid that the contagion of the yellow fever is not
uniform in its effeds,- it ought, at leair, to be admitted,
that it afts with moft certainty where it exills with moil
force; but a reverfe of this took place in the fuppofed
origin of our late fever, from imported contagion. We
are the m.ore determined in our opinion of the foul air of
the Deborah and Marv being the caufe of many cafes of
our fever, from hmilar cafes of fever having been often
produced from fimilar caufes, inftances of which were
mentioned in our letter to you lad year.
In fupport of our opinion of the difeafe being deprived
from the exhalations of our city before enumerated, we
fhall mention the names of the following perfons, who had
the fever before the arrival of the Deborah or Mary in our
port, viz. Benjamin Jones, from Berger's court, June 2d
Mary Wrigglefworth, near the corner of Walnut and
Tenth Ifreets, June 6th; Rebecca Trefted, in Front be-'
tw'een Spruce and Union fireets, [une nth; Eliza Currari,
Fourth below South ft rcct, 27th June; Mark Miller,
Callowhill ftreet, and Molly Zeller, Race ftreet, July
2d; Mifs Byrne, Spruce, between Second and Third ftreets,
[uly nth; Mr. Vannoft, Shannon ftreet wharves, Jnly
12th. We obfcrved. morer>ver,and heard of a conddciable' ,
MALIGNANT rEVER. 4!
ftumber of perfons who had the difcafe in the wcftern
parts of the city, and in South wark and the Northern Li*
berties, who had not been expofed to contagion, nor
breathed the air in the neighbourhood of Water-itrcet for
many weeks, and in fome inftances for feveral months be-
fore they wei'e attacked by that fever.
In addition to tlie arguments in favour of the domeftic
fources of the fever that have been mentioned in our for-
mer letter, we fhall add four more that we think cannot
be refuted.
r. Theatmofphere of our city, during the prevalence
of the fever, produced i'enfations of pain or ficknefsin ma-
ny people who came into it from the country ; the fame
atmofphere became the caufe of the difcafe and death in
others who vifited the city, and who carefully avoided
lodging, or any intercourfe with perfons infecled by the
fever.
2. The difeafe prevailed in many inland towns of the
United States, which had no intercourfe with fea-port
towns in which it was epidemic. Thofe towns were, in
every inftance we have heard of, fituatcd near to putrid
fubltances, or Itagnating water.
3. The difcafe was rarely contagious, even when it ter-
minated in death, when carried into the country, or into
towns not expofed to putrid exhalations.
4. The general extinction of the difeafe by froft, clear-
ly proves that it exifts chiefly in the atmofphere ; and that
it is not derived, in the firft inltance, from human conta-
gion ; for froft, it is well known, does not a8: in the au-
tumnal months upon the bodies of the fick, nor upon
their beds, cloathing, or any other fuppofed receptacle of
contagion.
We wilh to direCl the attention of our fellow-citizens to
thehiftory of the caufes and remedies of peftilential dif-
eafes in foreign countries ; In the ages of medical fuper-
ftitiun, when thofe difeafcs were believed to be imported,
they nearly depopulated cities for many fucceffivc years.
Frequent and accumulated fuffering at laP: begat wifdom.
The caufes of peflilcncc v/ere diicovered to exiil in all
countries, and domeflic remedies were appli<fd to remove
them. The effetl of this change in the opinion and con-
du6t of the nation^ of Europe, has been the •ihnon: genc-
F
4,2 AN ACCOUNT OF THE
ral extirpation of malignant fevers from their cities and
fea-ports. We have many documents to prove that the
recurrence of the yellow fever has been preventer in the
cities of Europe by cleanlinefs. It formerly prevailed in
Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Holland, and occafion-
ally, in Britain and Ireland, under the names of putrid,
malignant, and bilious fevers, ^\{o o{ ihc gall -fi chiefs and
of the black-fever. The laft name was derived from the
black voi^iting, v»hich is fo often thjc fymptom of ap-
proachin<^ dcadi in billious fevers.
We are the more confirmed in the opinion we have de-
livered, that the yellow fever is a native difeafe of our
country, by difcovering that the fame opinion is held by
moft of the phyficians and citizens of our iifter ftates. We
lament the prevalence of an opinion, that the admiffion
of truth upon this fuhjeft, will injure the credit of our ci-
ty. Truth, upon all lubjeQs, is uliimately friendly to
general intered and happinefs, while the remedies of the
evils of error, are always ofa partial and tranfitory nature.
We conceive that the report of the exiftence of a nature
(o fubtile as to elude the utmoft force of the health-laws,
and the greatell vigilance "of heaJth-ofhcers, will be much
more injurious to our city, than a belief of its being deri-
ved from cau fes which are obvious to our fenfes, and
•which by aclive exertions might be eafily and certainly re-
itiovcd, without opprefiiiig or injuiing our commerce.
We fiiall repeat, in this place, the means recommended
by us in our former letter, with the addition of fome o-
thers for preventing a return of the difeafe.
1. " Removing all thofe matters from our ftreets, gut-
ters, cellars, gardens, yards, ftores, ponds, vaults, &c.
which, by putrefaction in warm weather, afford the moft
frequent caufe of the difeafe in this country. For this
purpofe, w^e recommend the appointment of a certain
number of phyficians, whofe bulinefs it fliall be to infpe6l
all fuch places in the city, the northern-liberties, and
- Southwark, as contain any matters capable by putrefafti-
on, of producing the difeafe, and to have them removed.
2. " We earneftly recommend the frequent wafhing of
all impure parts, of the city in warm and dry weather, by
means of the pumps, until the water of the river Schuyl-
kill can be made to wafli all the ftreets of the city ; a mea-
. MALIGNANT FEVER. 43'
fure which we conceive promifcs to our citizens the mod
durable exemption from bil'ious fevers of all kinds, of
domeftic origin.

DESULTORY OBSERVATIONS and REFLECTIONS.
THE following obfervation made by Mr. Charles
Holt, in his account of the yellow fever as it appeared
at New-London, in the fall of 1798, is equally applica-
ble to this and to every other city attacked with peftilence :
" What ftnking^ inftances of the tranfitorinefs of life does
fuch a difeafe afford ! We fee men exulting in the bloom
of youth and prime of health and ftrength, in three or
four fnort days numbered with the dead. Our gayeft
companions, our lovelieft friends, in lefs than a week, are
laid in the duft. When we are daily witnefjing thefe fcenes
around us, who can avoid refiefting often, and feelingly,
that, his turn may be next ! yet the mind, when habitu-
ated to the mod afflihlive and extraordinary events, be-
comes hardened, and views them with unconcern and in-
difference. Difeafe, and death, the moil dreadful acci-
dents that can aifli6l the human frame, when made fami-
liar to the fight, ceafe to infpire dread, and are ranked with
the moft common occurrences.
Upon the firfl appearance of the fever, many of our
inhabitants had recourfe to fome fort of fuppofed preven-
tatives againfl: infection. Thus, fome chewed garlic, o-
thers fmoaked tobacco, and others hoped to avoid the dif-
order by having recourfe to fmelling-boltlesj handkef-'
JBIALIGNANT f £VER. 45
iChiefs dipped in vinegar, camphor bags, ^c. (o that few
individuals could be Teen in the ftreets, without one or
other of the fe applied to his noftrils. At jail, howevGr^
experience had proved, that thefe were m$ipt:aciaa:i. A
reliance on divine Providence lucceeded, and in ihe. .ipof^
terrible ftages of thediforder, the citizens difcovered tli^
moft decent fortitude, and the grea.teil refig^ii^tion. Thefa
imaginary preventatives were therefore thrown ai3,de_.
It has often been faid, that temperance was the beS:
prefervative againft infefciion. The obfervation, in gene--
ral, is certainly juft ; but it may, and, during the late
calamity has, been carried too far. For my part,
from what has come under my Own knowledge, I 'iia ve
no hefitation in aflerting, that to perlons, who had beetji
accuftomed to live freely, nothing could bfe more danger-
ous, than to become remarkably abllemious upon the ap-
pearance of this diforder. Perfcns of the above defcription,
flrouldin my opinion, havecontinued to live in their ufual
manner ; by which means, they would have been more
likely to repel infeftion, or if infehted, they would have
more ftrength to refifl the attack. But whillf I confidef
abftinence in luch a fituation, as being highly improper, a
ft^te of intemperance is certainly more fo, for were it ne~
ceffary, I could mention the names of feveral individuals,
who, whilll in a ftate of intoxication, were attacked with
the fever, and in two days after, were tenants of the grave.
The fate of fuch people might be pronounced altTioft with
certainty : they were feized with fymptoin • of a peculiar-
ly malignant nature, and their death ieemed unavoidable.
Mr. Carey, in his account of the Yellow Fever in Phi-
ladelphia, in the year 1793, mentions fame diflreffing
fcenes which took place, in that city, in consequence of
fome women in labour, being greatly at a lofv> for want
of afliftance. Di^cultics of the fame fort, occurred in
New York, during the ficknefs of 1798, but by no
m.eans in the fame degree. There were hov>/^cver feveral
iiiftances of dillrefs, in this particular, of which I fhall only
46 AN ACCOUNT OF THE
feleci one. My wife was taken in labour on the 20th
Sept. about 9 in the evening. I applied to many Dodors
and Midwives. Some were really fick ; fome pretended
10 be fo, and others candidly told me, that in confequence
of the peRilence, which prevailed in my vicinity, they
would on no account attend. At five in the enfuing morn-
ing, I applied to Mrs. Bunting, a midwife at Deans dock
Greenwich Street, who immediately came with me. I
would not have mentioned this circumftance ; but that it
afterwards came to my knowledge, tliat Mrs. Bunting, in
cafes where the diforder raged with the utmolt malignity,
never helVtated to attend aiiy perfons in that fituation, and
that too in many cafes where flie muft have been con-
vinced, (lie would never receive any emolument. Such
infbices of difmterefted philanthropy, ought not, in a pub-
lication of thii fort to be omitted. They do honour to
human nature.
No difeafe has, perhaps, on. any previous occafion
been more fatal to phylicians, than that with which we
were lately afflicted : for during its prevalence, exclufive
of medical ftudents, no lefs than fixteen phyficians have
been fwept off, in difcharging the perilous duties of their
profefTion. Thefe are Dotlors Andrews, Brooks, D.
Chickering, Dis.gley, Peter Faugeres, John B. Hicks,
John B. Jones, Melchen Caldwell, Lamb, Millegan,
J. B. Scandclla, Elihu H. Smith, Teller, Tredweil, Ua-
rick, and Young. As all thefe gentlemen fell facrifices
to their endeavours to relieve the dillreffed, it might
appear invidious, were I to point out thoie, who in my
opmion were mod uleful and eminent in their profelFion.
I fhall therefore only mention the cafe of J. B. Scandella,
who, being a foreigner of diflinguiihed literary abilities,
and poffefi'cd of the moll philanthropic principles, along
with the others, fell a facrifice to his hamanity. This
gentlefnan was a native of Venice, and defcended of
one of the moft noble families in that country. He was,
however, more difiinguilhcd by the fpelndour of his ta-
lents, than by the nobility of his birth. A liberal curiofi-
ty had led hun to this country, when he had juR finilhed
his refearches, and was preparing to embark for Europe, ^
MALIGNANT FEVER. 47
when motives of humanity led him back to Philadelphia,
in the height of the late Epidemic. From thence he re-
turned in fix days, having previoufly contratled that f:ital
difeafe, of which he expired, after a fhort, though very
painful illnefs, in the bloom of his age, and the vigour of
his faculties. The great attention which was paid to this
unfortunate ftranger, by Dr. Elihu H. Smith, was like-
wife in all probability, the immediate caufe of his death.
It is very remarkable, that although, there were, during
the time of this pellilence, about 800 people in the
Alms Houfe, no more than 24 died in all, and of thefe,
only 7 of the diforder. It is likewife certain that thefe 7,
caught the piftcmper in the city, and that, in no indance,
con agion was communicated from one to another in that
building. This uncommon healthinefs in a place, where
there were fo many people together, may, in all probabili-
ty be attributed to its airy htuation, the fpacioufnefs of
the rooms, the remarkable cleanlinefs infifted upon by
the manager Mr. Dodge, and the liberal ufe of lime.
It has been remarked, that during the feveial vifitations
of yellow fever, with which different cities of the United
States have been affliftcd, that more men than women
-have died of the diforder, in the proportion in general of
about four to three ; but during the peftilence of lail au-
tumn, in this city, the proportion of the men who were
cut off was ftill greater; there being very nearly about
two men for one woman. This difproportion, however,
of the fatality to the two fexes, need not appear (Irange,
when we confider that men, by the nature of their employ-
ment, are more expofed to infeftion than v/omen. The
man having occafion to buftle about from one place to
another, whilft the woman's particular province is the fa-
perintendance of the family concerns.
48 AN ACCOUN'T OF THE &c.
It has been formerly afferted by feveral phyficians of
eir.inence, tbat the blacks were much lefs fubje£l to the
ravages of the Yellow Fever, than the whites. This opin-
ion was no do'obi prodiittive of confiderable utility to the
citizens of Philadelphia, during their affliction" of the yeat
1793, as the people of colour were almoft exckilivelv the
only perfons, who would venture to nurfe the fick. Th6
idea, howevei', that they ran tio rifque of receiving infec-
tion appeared fallacious, as many of them died in that city,
during the time of that licknefs. I may add, that during
our late calamity, I have' every reafon to believe that the
fatality was fuUy as great amongft the blacks, as the whites
in proportion to their numbers. This, however, may not
appear to a number of my readers, when they find in ray
Uil containing the number of perfons interred in each of
the buryiiig grounds of this city, that I have only men-
tioned 41 negroes. It ought therefore to be obfervcd,
tiiat exclufive of thefe 41 who were buried in what is call-
ed the Negroes Bnrying Ground, there were no doubt,
iix times thar number buried in the Potter's field, at BcLle-
vue, arid in fome of the grave yards of this city.
Some extra6ls of letters from Philadelphia, publifhed
in ournewfpapers in this city, announce, that there are
itill feveral cafes of yellow fever amongft them. There
are alfo reports to the fame purpofe with refpecl to its ex-
iftence am.ongft us, Jan. i6th; but upon the moft particular
enquiryof a number ofrefpedable Phyficians, and others, 1
cannot find a fingle inftance of its having been feen here for
thefe feveral weeks pall : And I am almofl convinced,
that the fituation of the Pbiladelphians is as healthy at
prefeat as ours.

Li the Ciiy, at Bdlcvuc. and in ths Dcbtoj-s Appartment»
I
N a calamity fo terrible and uncxpe6led, the cUPcrefs
of the labouring i:)oor v;cre un.avoidably (^reat. The
general ftagnatiori of" biilinefs had deprived thern of their
ordinary means of fiipport and rendered them unable to
remove Vv' here employment and fubliilence might be had.
To add to their diificulties, their employers, and more
affluent acquaintances, who might have been difpofed tO'
relieve their wants, had in general fled.
But thefe were not the only obj eels of commiferation.
Many, who had fupported themfelves and families in an
eafy, though not affluent manner, were from the impoFii-
bility of earning any thing, the difficulty of recovering
their little debts and the heavy expences incident to a Itatc
of ficknefs, reduced to the mod extreme diilrefs, whilll
others, in opulent circumdanrcs, having remained in the
city, after their connexions had removed, being fudd.enly
feized with the prevailing diforder, were left helplefsby
themfelves, without a friend to confole them, a phyiiciaii
to prefcribe for them or a nurfe to adminifter the pre-
icription.
The Health CommiOfioners, appointed by authority of
the State Legidanire, had hitherto exerted their utm.oft
endeavours to alleviate the various afflictions of the dif-
treffed, but the Common Council being informed that the
number of uck had become fo great and were liill encreaf-
ing, that the Commifiioners could not rake care of them
all, that the accommodations at Bdlevite vrerc infufilcient
and that many of the poor fick were fo circumilanced as
to render a rem£>val there both inconvenient and impro-

New-York^ " with full powers to make fuch other build-
ings for the fick at Bcllevue, as they, with the advice of
the Coinmifnoners of the Health-Office might think ne-
celfary ; and to take into their charge and furnifh with
iricdical aid, and every ncccfTary, all fuch of the lick
poor as could not be accommodated at Bellcvice, or the
lituaiion of v;hofe pcifons or families were fuch as to ren-
der their removal to Bellevue improper or inconvcwicnt."
The gentlemen fo appointed, totally difregarding their
c:o'?iprefervation, and only intent on arrefling the progrefs
of the diforder and reiievinjT the diftrcffcd, with a mairna-
nimity and patriotifm meriting the highell eulogiuras, rea-
dily ftcpt forth and by their generous, ftedfaft and bene^
volent exertions, undoubtedly faved many of their fel-
low citizens from penury, difeafe and death. As foon
as they accepted the appointm.ent to this arduous under-
taking, they immediateiy proceeded to bufmefs and ap-
pointed Alderman Gabriel Furman their chairman, a
gentleman, who together with Alderman Beekman had
been on the committee for the relief of the fick and indi-
gent in the years 1793 and 1794, and alfo during the ^cf-
tilential diforder of 1795. I have already obferved, that
one of the objecls for which the committee was appoint-
ed was to make fuch further buildings and accommodati-
ons for the fick at Bellevue as they with the advice of the
Cornmiffioners of the Heakh-Office might think neccflary.
They accordingly gave orders for the erection of two
buildings, one of which fhould be fixty feet in length by
twenty in breadth, for the accommodation of the fick, and
another of the fame extent, but two ftories in height, for
the reception of the convalefcents ; and fuch was the dif-
patch of the workmen employed in that bufinefs, that
both were compleated in about eight days.
Previous to this the fick, the convalefcent and the dying
were all oowded together, and the apartments were by
no means fufficient for the number of the difeafed; but
by this humane attention, the convalefcents were fcparat-
ed from the fick, and from that time the number of thofe
u ho recovered at that hofpital was much greater in pro-
portion than it had been before. There was likewife other
circumftanccs which no doubt greatly contributed to this
happy change. The attendants and nurfes, at firll ap-
RELIEF OF THE POOR. 51
pointed for ihe care of the fick, were in genersl Dcrfons
of rather indifferent character, and of courfe that attenti-
on was not paid to the fick' which the Commiffioners
could havc^wiihed. The truth is that at the commence-
ment of this melancholy bufinefs, fear pervaded the {lout-
eft heart and terror was depicled in the countenances of
moft people ; hence many perfons of irreproachable cha-
rafter and humane difpolitions, who in other circuisftances
would have been very willing to afiill their fellow crea-
tures, were deterred from entering on fo perilous an un-
dertaking. The Health Commiliioners, therefore, to
whom the care of this Hofpital was committed, had rio
choice. Nurfes and attendants muft be had, and as thev
could not procure the moft proper perfons, they weie
obliged to be contented with fuch as they could obtain.
The cale, however, was now chancrcd. Pcot;lc bepan
to recover from the panic with which they had been ftruck,
and notwithitanding every difcouraging circiimftaiice, ma-
ny were found whofe humanity would not permit thern to
withhold from their fellow creatures that aihftance v.hich
they in a fimilar htuation had a right to expcd ; niuils
of good character were accordingly found, and the. former
improper perfons were chfmiilcd. Doctor Bayley, t'-e
Health-Officer, whofe character as a phyfician is too well
known to require any panegyric, aided by two affidants,
viz. Doctor Oouglafs and DoCtor Gregory, attended on
the fpot, and in a liiort time the greateil: order and regu-
larity was introduced : the patients were treated with the
utmoft care and tendernefs ; the nurfes and attendant?
difcharged their rcfpective duties wifh iidclity ; and Isdle
vue inftead of being confidercd as the anti-chamber of the
grave, began to be viewed by many of the amicled as a
place where they ftood a greater chance of recovery than
any where elfe.
That cleanlinefs is not only very conducive to health,
but that it contributes gready to the removal ofdifordcr
from thofe who are aiiiicled, and alio very much tends to
prevent the fpreading of infection a-mongll their attendants
will fcarcely be denied. The experience of evcrv one
who has been converfant araongft thofe alflitted wuh. pe-
ftiiential diforders, in every age and in every country

prefervative and remedy v/as never better obfervcd than
here.
Upon the commiffioners taking pofieffion of this place,
the walls, timber, and every part both infide atid outfide
were whitewaihed, and the praclice of whitewafhing the
infide every v.eek, ten days or fortnight, according to the
icafon of the year, and-number of fick, was fteadilv pur-
{ued fince its hrfl cftablifliment. Another praftice never
omitted v^?as, that if at any lime in the courfe of a perfon's
beii^.g confined with fever, his bed, fliirt or linen were
ilaincd or foiled by vomiting or otherwife, they were
imyrtediately removed and replaced with tlean ones ; be-
lldes thelinnen and bed clothes of the fick were ufually
changed every day or two, if even thofe extraordinary
tircumllances did not occur. Thefe means, as a fyltem
of cieanlinels, were lleadily adhered to by the attendants
at this Hofpital,
The whole niimb<^r of perfans admitted from Auguft
iC; to 3d. November, fince which time none have been
received, was three hundred and eighty-nine, of whom
two hundred and eighty-nine were from the city and one
hundred feamen ; of the former one hundred and leventy
two died and one hundred and feventeen were difcharged.
The latter v*'eTe more fo;tunate, for of them only thirty-
three died and the other (ixty-feven v/ere difcharged.
From the above itatemenr. v/hich may be depended up-
on as correci, the ioliowing queftion naturally occuis.
How came it that a much greater proportion of feamen
recovered at this Holpital, than o'i thole fent thither fiom
the city .?* The anfvver is this. The feanicn were in ge-
neral fent therein the firR llage of tiie diforder, whereas
many of our citizens from the fears which they entertained
of that Hofpital, could not be prevailed upon to be re-
moved thither till they were paft recovery. In confirma-
tion of this I may add that of a good many people v/hom
I myl'elf have feen previous to their being carried thither,
by far the greater part of thoie who were removed on the
In ft attack recovered, whereas to thofe who remained till
the diforder had acquired a greater degree of malignancy
little clfe was to be expeded but death. Indeed feveral
died v.ithm a few hours after their entrance in the Hofpi-
tal and more thin a third in tw.o days. There is one
RELIEF OF THE POOR. .53
thing very remarkable with refpecl to the attendants at this
Hoipital, which ought not to be omitted. Their fituati-
on to moft people miift no doubt have appeared pecuiiar-
Iv dangerous, as they were literally furrounded with pjlli-
lence. It fo happened, however, that neither nurfes, nor
wafherwomen caught the infeQion. The boatmen too be-
longing to the Health-Oliicc, who entered the Hofpiial at
all times and were not only engaged in bringing the lick
from the city and (hipping, but likewife in removing them
from place to place, enjoyed a itate of perfecl health ; and
of thofe perfons who accompanied their friei^ds and rela-
tives, flayed with them and nurfed them, there is not a iin-
gle inftance of an individual bcmg inletled. In Ihort, Dr.
Douglafs was the onlyperfon refiding there who -vras feizcd
with fever ; but he had l)een in the habit of occafionally
viiiting his friends in die city, and three days previous to
his being taken ill, had flept in a houfe the viciruty of
Vv'hich was highly infefted ; and it is more than probable
that his (icknefs was occahoned by that caufe.
From the above, and many other facts which might be
mentioned, it amounts to a certainty diat this fever will
not fpread in a pure a'n'. For this rcafon the inhabitants
of the country have litde or no reafon of being afraid to
receive the fick who remove from town , norof thoie who
are taken ill v,'ith fever after leaviiig the city . for, as is
obferved by Mr. Noah Webfter, junior, in his conclud-
ing objervations to a collection of papers on the^fubjeB of
bilious ftvers^ publifhed in the year 1796. " The paiwc
that feized the whole continent, when the difcafe in Phi-
ladelphia, is now found to have been needlefs and with-
out jull caufe; andjt is prel'umed, that fuch inhuman
caution and barbarous tneafures as were adopted on that
occahon, will never again diigrace our country."
Flaving thus given an account of the Hofpital at Belle-
vue, and of the treatment of the Tick, I now proceed to
point out the manner of admiuillering relief to fuch Tick
perfons as could not be accommodated there, onlic (v^d'
ation of whole perfons or families rendered their removal
improper or inconvenient.
Vv^ith refped to accommodations there vvas no doubt
a cqnfiderable difficulty previous to iheeretfior. of the two
additional buildings which I have already mentioned; but
54 RELIEF OF THE POOR,
thefc being eompleated, that difficulty M'as entirely re»
moved.
When individuals, who had no families were feized with
the diforder, and v;ere incapable of providing for them-
felves tlie ncccllary relief, it was the wifh of the commit-
tee that they fhould be rcmo\ ed to Bellevue as fpeedy as
pofijb'e. Bv wiiich means the progrefs of the diforder
might bcrarrelled, whilil the chance of their recovoy was
as great i.i leaft if not greater than if they had remained in
the ciiv. But to fepaiaie chi'dren from their parents, huf-
bandcs irom their wives, or wives Irom their hulbands, or
in fiiort to have removed contrary to their inclinations, a
iinglc individual from any family, where ])erhaps they had
refolvcd to remain by each other, to the laft extremity,
would have been an act of the greatell inhumanity. ¥ov
fuch, therefore, it Vvas neccfiary that provifion Ihould be
made by the committee.
They accordingly being Icnhble of the raiferable fitua-
tion to which the poor iniiit be reduced by the fufpeniion
of all buhnels and tlie diiirei's they miull fuller when at-
tacked by difeafe, devoied their fole and undivided at-
tention to their relief.
For this purpoie they advertifed in the public prints,
that the more ealily and effetlually to anfwer the end of
their benevolent appointment, they would daily attend at
the Ahns-Houle fiom 9 to i and from 3 to 6 afternoon,
to receive the applications of the fick, the widow and or-
phan,'or their friends in their behalf, and to grant fuch
relief as the liberality of the Common Council of the city
had di retted.
Th^e Common Council, at an ear\y period of the dif-
order, had borrowed a. fum of money to be appropriated
towards the above benevolent purpofe, and about the lat--
ter end of September, Mr. John Murray, junior, a re-
fpeOable merchant of this city, generouily oHered to the
Committee to guaraiuee a farther loan of ten thoufand
dollars, ifitfliould be wanted; but the charitable donati-
ons received from dillerent parts of thisftate, from New-
Icrfey and Connecticut ; and alfo from m.any of our own
wealthy citizens rendered this meafure unneceilary. By
their beneficence and huii'ianity the Committee were en-
abled toaifoid to the nccelLtousa confjuerable degree of
RELIEF OF THE POOR. .55
Comfort, of which they would oilierwife have been de-
prived. Liberal donations of money, produce, &c. (a lifl
of which is annexed) were daily received and diftributed
as each particular cafe fcemcd to requiie.
As durinj^ the ravao;es of ihi:5 dreadful diforder, medicaf
sidw^asan objefcl of the firfl: concern, it may not be im-
proper to mention the manner in whieh the poor were ac-
commodated in this refpect. Er.rly in the hcknefs many
of our mc>{\ eminent phyficians had leil llic eit) , a;jd feve-
ral oFthofe who remained had paid the lall debt to nature.
IlCnce the buiinefs of praftitioners was greatly increaied,
and the lituatioTi of the indigent became peculiarly dif-
tniling. The committee, therefore, employed three
phyficians (o adminifter to therelief of fuch lick as unfor-
tunately became objefls of ih-ir appointment, viz. Doc-
tors Hugh M'Lean, Daniel M. Hitchcock, and /Vdolphus
C. Lent.
The extreme afiiduity and humanity which thefe gentle-
men difplayed in the dil'chavc^,e of dieir duty, is well known
to the afFiided poor; and places their con.duCl in fuch a
point of view as to be far above any panegyric of mine.
Tonopcrfon could their diligence be better known than
to me, and in jultice to them I think it my duty to declare
that notwithftandin^ the ^reat fatipue and danger to which
they were continually expofcd, they with thegreatefl ala-
crity daily fuftained the perilous talis, of vifiting and admi-
niftering the neccflary medicine to hundreds of their afflic-
ted fellow creatures. From rnorninc; to niVnt they were
inceflandy engaged; nor did any of them, when called up-
on to fee a patient, even at the mofl unfcafonablc hours,
hchtate a momentto wait upon them, let the diforder be
ever fo malignant. Thanks to heaven their valuable lives
are fpared, and long, very loniT, may they live in the
grateful remembrance of their fellow citizens. How ma-
ny owe their fafety to their flvill and attention it is not ealy
to determine ; but this far may be fafely allerted, diat
there are many now in good health, who but for their fl^ill
and attention v.ould have been tenants of the sravc. But
had the attention of the committee been confined to pro-
curing phyficians foF the lick, it would have been produc-
tive oi little good, .for I have known many cafes where

other even with a cup of water.
For fach perfons nurfes were therefore to be provided
at the public cxpence ; and here the fame difficulty at
iill occurred in procuring good ones as at Bellevue.
This, however, was foon got over, as the committee hav-
ing advertlfed that nurfes of good character were wanted,
to whom generous wages would be paid, a fufficient num-
ber of decent people readily offered their fervice. Some
indeed were found to aft improperly ; but when the cafe
was rcprcfcnied to the Committee, they were difmiUed
and odiers fubfiituted in their ftead.
E-ut befidesprocuringnurfes for therelicfofthe poor, the
committee were frequently under the ncceliity of geting
them for fome of thofe in afFluent circumfl;ances,whofe friends
had probably fled, or who, if they remained, knew not
to whom they fhould apply for the necei]'ary help. To
thefe, hkewife, the committee directed their attention.
Before I quit this article, it may not be improper to lay
before my readers the fituation of the City Dil'penfary du-
ring this time of general calamity. The following is

RELIEF OF THE POOR. s7
The truilccs of the Difpenfary in their report on this
interefting Tubjccl, make the following very judicious re-
mark, " The great proportion of cafes of the Yellow Fe-
ver in this ftatemenl, whiHl it affords the moil undeniable
evidence of tlie utility of the inititution, is alio an honor-
able proof of the talents and alhduity of their phyHcian
Doftor Hugh M'Lean, more efpecially when it is confi-
dered that tiie objects conlifted of the pooreit and moft
deftitute clafs of citizens."
As the diforder continued to make Farther progrefs, the
committee found the calls on their humanity daily
cncreafe.
The indigent fick were indeed fapplied with medical
aid and nurfes ; but it was neceffary that provilion ihould
be made for their maintainance, and alfo for a number of
families, the heads of which not being able to find any
employmen!:, were in the greateft diitrefs.
With a vicv'/ to relieve luch perfons, the committee
eilabliflied three rcpofitories and cook (hops, one at Clifr-
ftreet, another at- No. 159 Chatham-ftrect and the third at
the head of Divifion-ftreet, from whence fuch indigent and
diitreffed fick, as were deprived of the means of providing
for themfelves, were liberally fupplied with foups, boiled
meat, bread, candles, and other proper and neccHary arti-
cles fuitablc to dieir fituation.
Perhaps, in fuch a calamity, no efiabliijiments could
have been devifed of more general utility than thefc cook
houfes ; the fituation of many of tlie iick being fuch, as
would not admit of their nurfes leaving them to drefs the
neceifary provifions ; to which it may be added, that if
money had been given to fome of them for the purchafc
of neceffaries, it would have very probably been expended
for articles, which, inftcad of contributing to the relief of
the fick, might have been highly detrimental, or it might
have been appropriated to their ov>'n ufe. I msy iikewife
obferve, that if pecuniary aid had been been afforded to
fome of the more thoughtlefs and diliipated poor, thev
would very probably have fpent it, iw procuring for them-
felves a temporary gratification, whilft their flarving fami-
lies remained negletted.
In confirmation of this, I fliall adduce one inftance out
of a few others, of a fimilar nature which came under mv

own obfervation. The wife or a perfon whom I had oc-
caiion to fee, in the difcharge of" my duty, was dangeroufly
111 cf tne prevaihng fever. She lay in a damp cellar and
v.as deititiue of every neceflary and comfort. ~ Of money
entruHed to me by the committee for the relief of thedif-
ii-efied, I tlierefore left with the huiband two dollars, one
oi which I widicd to be appropriated to the purchafe of
half a load of wood, and the other for fuch little articles as
might be immediately neceflary for his wife and child. I
called again at the houfe a few hours after, but inftead of
findmg the money applied as I expelled, I found the man
in a Ibte of intoxication, and totally regardlefs and infen-
iible of the fituation of his aillided wife, who was then in
the agonies of death. She died foon after ; the funeral
was condutled by llrangers, by whom likewife their child
about fix years of age, was carried to the Alms-houfe,
whilfl; the unhappy huihand remained in a ftate of infenfi-
bility, knowing or caring very little about what had hap-
pened.
I am hoppy, however, in obferving, th.at fuch remarks
muft be imderilood as applying to very few, for almoft in
every inftance, parents and children j hufbands and wives,
and in fliort all thofe living in the lame family were difpo-
fed to contribute to the very utmofl; in their poweF, to-
wards the relief of their affliftcd relatives.
The number of thofe, who received their daily fubfift-
ence from thefe cook houfes, during the greateJl part of
the calamity, amounted to between 1600 and 2000 per-
fons, of v;hom many were helplefs lick, widows and or-
phans ; whilfl; eight hundred people were, at the fame
time, fupported in the Alms-houfe, out of funds provided
by law.
But the ample donations and very liberal contributions,
"which as I have already obfervcd, were colletted in many
places, for our relief, vvhilft it reflected the higheft honour,
on the donors, and demanded our warmeft gratitude, alfo
enabled the committee to relieve many of the diftreffed in
a different manner.
The cook-houfes were certainly highly ufeful ; but
there were many fick and indigent, who lived at a confider-
able diftance from either of them, to whom it would have
been very inconvenient to have procured from thence the
ncccffary provilions ; and the circumftanccs of others

ture
The produce which carne from varioug parts of the
country for the reli'^f of the indigent, except what wa.s fe'"nt
to the cook-houfcs by order of the committee, was depo-
fited in a (lore oppofite the Alms-houfc; from whence
upwards of live hundred families v/ere from tiime 'to- tin-je
relieved by donations in neceffaries, fuch as beef, pork','
mutton, flour, fowls, indi-an meal^potatoes, turnip?, c5:c.For
the relief of thefe, the committee iikewife expended a great
deal of money, by giving them occafionally fuch Ihiall
fums as the lituation of dieir families fcemecl to require;
and feveral v»-idows, who upon the death of tlieir Irafbonds*
wifhed to remove to that place in the country where their
relatives and friends refided ; being deflitute of the m-.-ans
of carrying themfelves and children thither, v.-ere r.Ifo
affiiled.
I have already mentioned, that the committee when f^rfh .
organized, had advertifed, that they would meet dai'v
at the Alms-houfe, from 9 to i, and 3 to 6, for the pur-
pofc of attending to the benevolent objetl of their ap-
pointment ; but, in a Ihort time the applications of ths
lick and indigent became fo exceedingly numerous, that
they were not able, during thcfe hours, to determiuij ou all-
their requefts. They, therefore, alfcmbled durinp- the
greateft part of this awful vihtation at about eight in the
morning, and continued their fitting, till fevcn, and foaie
times eight, in the evening, allowing themfelves only a baje '
half hour for dinner. For my part, when I think of t'le
extreme fatigue anddangerwhich thefe gcndemen encour.-
tered, and the conftaiu rifquc they ran of catching infec-
tion, many of thofe individuals who came thither to IbliciL
afiiftance, having fever upon them, I confider thi-ir prefer-
vation, ifnot miraculous, at lead highly providcnnal. Two
of them, indeed, viz. Alderman Gabriel Furman and
Alderman Theophilus Bcckman, as alfb our worthy May-
or, v;hofe attention to the duties of his oiSce durincr this
diftrefTing period, is above all praife, were attarked by
the peflileuce, but, thanks to the Almighty, they fbon re-

iiumbers with whom they could not be acquainted, parti-
cularly foreigners, who had only for a Diort time refided
jn this country. , .1
To afcertain the truth of their complaints, when they
appeared doubtful, the Committee had fcveral attendants,

RELIEF OF THE POOR. 61
Having thus defcribed the manner in wliich the poor
were relieved throughout the city, it may not be iiriproper
to dircft the attention of my readers to the lituation of the
poor prifoners in the Debtor's Aparhnent, or what is com-
monly called the New Gaol. The difordcr, vhich pre-
vailed more or lefs, in the city, likewife made its appear-
ance here : It, however, in a fhort time entirely fubiided,
owing in a great meafure to the indefatigable induftry of
Mr, Wiil^'am W. Parker, the jailor, in cleaning andwara-
ing the different apartments, by which means the farther
fprcading of the infetlion was prevented.
The fituation of the debtors at the commencement of
the general calamity afforded a picture of diflrels and
horror fcarcely equalled by any thing we have hitherto
feen reprefeiited. Their number at firft amounted to 163
and whiUt others were enjoying advantages refuUing from
the wholefome laws of the (late, thcfeindividuals were pent
up in tlie midfl: of pedilencc, deprived of the privilege of
feeking dieir felf prefervation, expofed to the unlatiated
revenge of individuals, and feemed in every rcfpi^d deli-
vered up as viftims to the malignancy of the common
enemy.
But the danger of infeclion was not the only evil to
which thefe unfortunate men were expofed; for it is well
known that though a perfon confined for crimes in fupport ■
ed by the ftate, a poor debtor has no other dependence
than on the l)enevolence of his friends and the charity of
the Humane Society : But upon the approach of this ge-
neral diftrefs, many of their friends, who would have wil-
'•ngly aflifted them had fled, others Vv-erc IJck, and fcver-
ais no doubt fo reduced by the general calamity as to be
icarcely capable of fupporting themfelves. In this fitua-
tion, therefore, not only peftilence, with fcarrcly a proba-
ble chance of efcape, but alfo famine flared i^hem in the
lace.
Their cafe was reprefented to the Committee by Mr.
Parker, and they were immediately fiipplied with plenty
of provifions ; and this was from time to time repeated
during the exiflence of the fever, as often as their necefTi-
ties feemed to require.
But the prifoners were indebted to Mr. Parker for exer-
tions ofa different nature. By his perfonal afliduities —
RELIE! QY THE POOR
bv bis fcclins reprefcntations to humane creaitors, the
miinbcrolthe pnfoners, which, as I have already menti-
oned, amounted at firft to 163, were towards the clofe ot
the dlrorder reduced to 39, by which means their num-
bers were leffcned and conicquentl y the danger. K or was
his benevolence conlined to perfonal exertions ; ior he
oth'^rs bv contributing himfelt towards the payment ot
lav.-vcrs'fees, where they only detahied the poor.
Such tender treatment, ihch humane care of indigent
andaliUaed prifoners cannot be too highly applauded, and
vhiUt it is the lot of unfortunate individuals to be imprilon-
ed for debt, it muft be a great confolation to them to be
placed under the care of a man pofTelled oi fo much hu-
manity as Mr. Parker. Certainly fuch condutl ought to
be mentioned not only as a tribute of applaufe ; but as a
flimulus to others who may be hmilariy htuated, to ao
the fame. In a word, Mr.Parker's treatment of his pn-
foners, when known, will ever meet with the approDation
of all good citizens.-^ . , r -. ^
1 fhall now conclude this article,withrefpea to the poor,
by a few general obfervations. During the whole of this
calamitous period, fuch was the extraordmary hoeraiity
of our fellow citizens in granting donations; and lucn the
unremitiing attention of the Committee m diilriDutrng
them, that notwittiftanding the diPtrcficd were by far more
numerous than at any previous period i»^ l^l^ city; yet

ed patience from morning to night to liften to the mce 1-
ant applications of hundreds-; but as has been aliTady ob-
fervcd, had people employed to fcek out for objctts ol

RELIEF OF THE POOR. 63
There is one clafs of diftrcfied objcQs, whom, as I
omitted to mention in the preceding pages it may not hi^
improper to introduce here, viz. the children of necefli-
tous perfons, whofe parents were cut off by death. Mr.
Mathew Carey, in his hi'.rory of the Mahgnant Fever prcva
lent in Philadelphia in the year 1793, obfcrves, that the
Bettering-Hoiife (Alms-Houfe) there, in which fuch help-
lefs objeQs had been ufually placed, was barred againft
them ; " Many of thcfe little innocents (fays he) were ac-
tually fuffering- for want of even common ncceflaries. The
death of their parents and protestors, which (Fiould have
been the {lion,2,e(L recommendation to public charily, was
the very reafon of their diftreft', and of their being fiiun-
ned as a pedilence. The cafe, h.ov.'cver, was widely dif-
ferent with u.s ; for no foonc'r had the parents of thefe lit-
tle ones expired, than if they were not takcii care of by
fome of their friends or relations, there was ah.vays ibmc
perfons of humaihty who would reprefent their cale to the
Committee, by whofc orders they were immediately re-
moved to a part in the Alms-Houfe appropriated to iheii*
reception.
By the above remark, however, I would by no means
wifh to be underftood as throwing any rcHection a-^ainfl
the citizens of Philadelphia for being deficient in point of
humanity. On the contrary, many of the inhabitants dif-
played a benevolence and philanthropy which in fo awful a
period may be equalled, but never can be furpaficd. But
the Yellow Fever was at that time a new diforder, or at
lead litde known in the United States : and terrific as it
really was, both in its appearance andeffecls, it fliU excited
more terror than was neceffary or jufi:. Plejice in many
•cafes humanity, friendPnip, parental and hiial aircctioii
were all fwallowcd up in a regard to felf prefervation; and
this will ever be the cafe in any country when an ali de-
vouring peftilence makes its fir/l appearance. Bui l:\ the
lad autumn the diforder v/as better known, asii had re-
peatedly vi filed fome of ou r moft popidous cities, and ex-
perience had fufHciendy evinced, that fuch perfons as con-
fined themfelves to their hoiifes, run litde, if any greater
rifque of infeftionthan thofe who were conllantlyconvcrfant
amongll the hck. Hence, if it fliould be the Divine plea-
lure, that we fhould again be vihted either here or in any

its horrors will, in ail probability, be greatly alleviated
as few will be found fo timorous as to be unwilling to dil-
charre the duties of humanity to the diftreffzd.
B?fore I conclude this article, I cannot help takmg no-
tice of the diftrcfs in which fome poor people were involv^
ed in confequence of the rigid manner in whiai fome un-
feeling landlords have exaBcd their rents. Forgetful that
their poor tenants had been lick, that they had large fami-
lies and that, they had been able lo earn nothing during a
calamitous feafon of three months, they notwithltanding
inr^aed on the immediate payment of the origmal itipula-
ted bargain : In confequence of which, the little property
which tbcfe poor people polleffed were fold by the confta-
bleat vendue, and they expofed m confequence thereof
to the utmoll diftrcfs. It was natural in this time of ge-
neral calamity for every unfortunate individual to. loo.i

apprize hnn of the materials from which it is compofed. They are the books of

thatthe fextonsoft-.voofthefmalleftcongregRtions were abfent during a great

which could have been w.lhed. To alcertain with precifion the namrs of ail the
decealed, their occupations, &c. I have uicd my utmoft exertions. With this view
1 have -compared the books of the fextons with the lia kept by the Health-rom-
