house there have been, up to the time of printing this Report, four cases
three of which have been fatal. The decline of small pox indicated in
my Report for June has become more pronounced, the number of new

25 (in place of 105 in June), the weekly numbers being 12, 5, 1, 5.

liver (7), have been much more numerous than is usual at this season.
