ABSTRACT
The disease spread to an alarming extent; the sides of roads, the fields and verges of bogs, were studded with huts, where the hapless victims of sickness consigned themselves to the mercy of God, and the sympathy of man. In addition to the report which Dr. Faussett had the honour of sending to the Editors of the Dublin Hospital Reports, on the 20th instant, he has to state, with regard to the fourth case of fever, as occurring in the town of Ballina, that he did not visit the patient until the sixteenth day of his disease. A regular answer, however, was forwarded through Colonel King of Ballina, to Doctor Perceval, to the several queries which accompanied his note to the Colonel, by Dr. Faussett, in two days after the receipt of the queries.
