€ STILL IT SPREADS, Further Diseouraging Reports from Yellow Fever Centres. EPIDEMIC IN LOUISIANA. Twenty-five Thousand Cases Treated in New Orleans, APPEALS FOR AID. 219 Persons Named Who Have Died in Greenville, Miss. [2x TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) New Oxnwans, Oct. 4, 1878. The fever seems still to maintain its Lold upon the Outer borders of this city, wore especially in the rear and lower iimits, with o turther extension out of Algiers up to Gretna, In the cevtre of the city only & fow cases still linger. A member of the Young Men’s Christian Assogiation, whose labora are cou fined to the neart of the city, and whose district com- prises fifty squares, told me be bad bad only six new Bases since Sunday. As the fever extends from the entre of the city the lavors of the charitable assoc: tious are, of course, increased, and, what is more im- Portant, the expenses of these associations are increased likewise, The best authorities Say tbut ibere have not been less than twenty- five thousand cases of fever in this sity Up tothe present ime Tue amount of money re- Quired to treat this number ef cases must be large, Af we take into cousideration only the cost of nurses And doctors, The salaries to these men are beavy items 1m the expense account, though forming ouly a part of tue outlay required. Tbe most nourishing food is required long ulter the patient leaves Lis bed, or the very worst consequences ensue, ‘Absolute destitution is the great disease we are fighting now,’’ was remarked by @ prominent member of the Howard Asgociation to your correspondent this morning. How true this Is I have been able to verily within the past twenty-four hours by personal observation. A HERALD CORRESPONDENT VISITING THE SICK. Last night and this moraing, accompanied by two physicians of the Howard and Youvg Men’s Christian Associations, Drs. Grosari and George Stumpf, I drove Wong the rear portions of the city where large nuw- bers of our population are now suffering irom the fever. Ifound there cases of the most malignant bybe, mavy showing a tendency to congestion, These districts are very rarely tree from remittent te which at the present time all tends to ysliow fe In the case of one patient the brain had become affected instantly, and he died within three bours after the development of the disease.
