S. 1699, fr ra Ifaac Norris to one of his correfpondents. The letter fays, that " 150 perfons had died in Charlef- ton in a few days, '* that " the furvivors fled into the country, " and that " the town was thinned to a very few people. " Is it not probable, from the prevalence of this fever twice in two places in tke fame years, that it was produced (as laft year) by a general conftitution of air, co-operating with miafmata, which favoured its generation in, differ- ent parts of the continent ...? But again, fuch was the Mate of the air in the fummer of 1793, that it predifpofed other animals to difeafes, befides the human fpecies. In fome parts of New Jerfey, a diforder prevailed with great mortality among the horfes, and in Virginia among the cows, during the laft autumn. The urine in both was yellow. Large abfceffes appeared in different parts of the body in the latter animals, which when opened, difcharged a yellow ferous fluid. From the colour of thefe difcharges, and of the urine, the difeafc got the name of the yellow water.
