The well passen- gers from this vessel as well as from the Empire were pisced in the gronnds around what was then called the ill hospital, ond the sick with that disease placed in that deilding, being about twelve or fifteen rods south of the shanty buildings in which were placed the cases of typhoid fever, most of whom were at the time conva- nt, About the same time the ships Charles Hill, the Ply- mouth, the Robert Parker, the G. J. Patten and some others arrived from Havre, all having a large number of cases of smallpox of a very malignant 4ype. These were all placed in the Smallpox Hospital, situated in the Rorthwestern angle of the Qnarantine grounds, at least eighty rods from the hospital and nds where the sick and well from the cholera ships were placed. ‘The passengers and their effects from these vessels were subjected toa ag econg’ process of cleansing and disinfecting, and allowed to leave for the city. No cases of ‘cholera were subsequently traced to them; but the conval- escent patients, in the shanty buildings, who were recov- ering from typhoid fever, began to die of cholera, and in Jose than one week seven.y-tive per cent of the patients fp the Sma!lpox Hospital died of cholera.

In a learned re) of ished in 1864, it is stated sult of diligent researches into the history of the last epidemics of tue malady in every: place where it prevai!- ‘ed, that “the power of the disease through a town is in creased in rw an a to the degree in which the condi- tions of insalubrity are present in various parts of it; not merely J et who live in where moisture and fou) air the disease, but all the inhabitants are ex posed by the existence of these evils to a greater rink of ‘becom ing its victims, And further, it is certain thatthe more intensely the epidemic prevails in a ¢ town, the ‘more does the whole district for miles around suffer, and : i i H 34 il af ‘the more danger is there of its being to other regions.

To me MernoroutaN Boar or Hxautn:— Gextimmex—I beg leave to report that I yesterday visited the Lower Quarantine, and found maiters pro- gressing favorably, both on the steamers and hospital ship. No cases of eholera have occurred either on board the England or Virginia since last report. The condition of the sick on board the hospital ship is more favorabie, the discase assuming a milder type, the percentage of deaths being much less than heretofore, the increased number of admissions in the hospital to-day may be attributed to the sudden changes of temperatare, although the rare ee poner the milder form of this disease, I have received written statements from those who have been familiar with the management of quaran- tine for many yeats in reference to the allegéd inhuman manner in which the sick wore transferred from the Virginia to the floating hospital. Deputy Health Officer Dr. D. H. Bissell, who was four years phyeicun of the Marine Hospital, and subsequently two years physician of the hospital ship in the lower bay, states that the manner of travsfer of the sick from the Virginia was both hutnane and proper, and the same that bas been followed for many years, and that the sick and well under quarantine haye been cared for tn accord- ance with the dictates of humanity, ‘The venerable Pr. Janes Harcoart, tn answer to my in- quiries, states that, asdeputy health officer and of the ine Hospital, he has been associated with quar- aotine nearly thirty years, and has superintended the transfer of thou of sick from vessels under quaran- tine to the hospital without a single xcerdent occurring, and the of transfer was the same as adopted in the case of the Virginia, ‘The Superintendent of the hospital, Mr. James O'Rourke, states that he has been connected with Qna- rantive over foarven years, and for tl has been on board the floating hosp in the lower bay. His’ language is.—“From experience ‘and personal knowledge of the lower bay I must say that the only safo way to transfer the sick is by large row- boats, the to be lowered in a chair, oF im the form of a chair.’ Captain Prowse, of the ship Virginia, says that thie form of ety from’a hogshead, is the safe and humane method of transferrig the sick to boate, and the only one he would adopt under the cxcumstances. It is the opinion of all connected with quarantine that utterly impracticable and improper to depend upon ugboat for the transfer of sick, on account of the roughness of the waters of the bay not only, but more particolariy fer sanitary reasona, ‘The all-absorbing question with the public is, are the Prophylactic measures now employed sufficient for the protection of public heath? If not, what additional moans should be adopted’ [t is the opinion of thove familiar with the regulations of quarantine, as now being carried ous, that public health is protected while com- merce #utlers for the want of facilities to carry out a proper system of quarantine. ‘The inbumanity of detaining well persons upon hulks canpot be called in tion «= All concede this, The question then arises, how can this be obviated? This whole sabject was laid before the Legislature in a report made by Quarantine Commissioners in 1865, The following language was used by me (seo ¢ 29) tw show that if we trasted to fortune, and made no provirion for the fu- tare, “we may be called upon to acknowledge our error and'reap the blasting curses of our neglect, when re- pentance will not return to us the victims of our indis- cretion, and the knowledge of what we might have done wo -t ourselves against the ravages of the disease will only tend to increase the horrors we may be called upon to experience therefrom;” and ogni the whole subject is discussed by me, and suggestions made in the Qearantine Commissioners’ report of this year, from page thirty to thirty-seven, incinsive. Any one who Tin take the troubie to road these reports cannot be Ditnd to the fact that the Quarantine Commineoners and Health Officer Lave not neglected this important ques: tion.

It is obviously certain that uniews some tem porary bufldinge or sheds are soon erected upon some | eligible spot of ground in or adjacent to our harbor that we sball have the cholera or some other foariul epidemic introduced into our midst in less than » month, devpite the excellent precautionary measures adopted by the Health Otheer for preventing the spreading of contagious diseases beyond the quarantine limits. These buildings or sheds can be set aside for the use of such persons as may arrive here upon infected versels, and who may bo detained for the purpose of purification, while large and well ventilated ships can be used strictly for hospital pa ‘The fact every day becomes more patent that the miserable ship now in use as a hospital can pever be made to answer tho purpose for which it was intended, and is an utter failure im every respect.
