Sin,
In the absence of more important mat-
fer, you may perh ips Spare a corner of your Paper
for the following semarks upon a disease, which ts
at present. and has Been for some time past, Com.
mitttag considerable though silent r IVares Upon Our
Negro Population—Io mean the ffoopine Cough,
which (hough common in (urope, is very rare with-
Inthe tropics. As the spaca allowed me must be
sinall, my observation will be brief,
First,—Then the disease is comlagious, but not
epidemie; the distinction here is Mn portant, (he in=
fection ts not eeneral, nor does it {] atin the air to
any distance from its SOUTEE, AS IL ts supposed to de
in plague, fever, &e., a therefore requires, tl nol
actual contact, at least breathine the same wir, Or al
a very short distince to communicate it. Chis has
been clearly proved on many places, where, by as-
stduous allention, ip preventing all imlercourse with
infected estates, Che uoatieion lias been dutherte
avoided in those Immediately ach ines and on most
estates under ny own Charve where the Gisease ex-
ists, Ifcan be easily traced either by the Negro wo-
men with therr children, carrying it with thei on
receiving 1 when Visititne: On Sundays, aod in some
Instances by huchster wo.nen with children in’ the
sume Way.
The practical inference from this is no less, than
that the discase um yy fouvery great certahity b
prevented, by diligent attencon in those havin the
conducting ot estates, preventing all intercourse with
an infected place, more parteoularly by women car-
rytng tbetrinfants alone with Uheiny and by sending
(he older creole children on Messages trom one estat
to another.
Second/y,—The disease is classed by nosolocists
as one of debility, and we find here, that cals ris
pari ws, infants, and those o| a puny or debihiia
habit of body, ftom whatever Cause, are its first
Victims, and tho a solit Ny instance to the COntaATY

and all is well, tho ¢he enlightened Physician of in-
dependent niitiad does not hesitate to own thatthe ef-
fects of this much ta hed of change of air, are at
least very problematical.
Ho sum up the whole then,, as no reliance is to be
placed on medicine, the utmost attention should be
paid to prevention, by suspending all intercourse
with infected estates, where however it has found iis
way in, it will be found next to lun possible, to pre-
ventall the younger people on the estate being in-
lected, when this 1s ascertsined (as the first approach-
es of the discase are not hasty) the children should
go through the common cause of worm medicine, as

lestiues, this disease brings Uiem into action. On the
