At last it is certain that Memphis is afflicted with this terrible disease, though up to last Thursday only six or seven deaths had occurred per day. Thirty-seven new cases were reported for the twenty-four hours ending at noon Thursday. Nurses are on the way from New Orleans and Nashville, owning to the fact that the season has advanced so far it is thought that the disease will not prove as bad as it has elsewhere. We hope to chronicle the disappearance of the fever in our next issue.
