    will call forth similar investigations from other quarters. The numbers who have died of Fevers, have suffered considerable revolutions, but have dimi- nished upon the whole. In the early periods they are said to have been chiefly owing to Ty- phus, in later times Scarlatina has had a consider- able share. I would suggest as an improvement in the Registers, that the deaths by the latter disease, should be carefully distinguished from others. I am persuaded, that of late Scarlatina has been a very considerable cause of mortality among children. THE END. PRINTED BY WILLIAM LANG, 62, BELL-STREET.
