Fellow Citizens, But three persons have died on the last four days in this City, and but three at Bellevue since the 27th of October, of fever in any degree resembling our late Epidemic. The alarming situation in which this city has lately been, is calculated to excite the most serious reflections - to inspire feelings of veneration for that all controuling Power who, in the midst of such judgment, remembers mercy! - We trust that it has been under a sentiment of grateful dependance on him, that we have been encouraged to fulfil the duties you had entrusted: And we trust that while congratulations are repeated upon returning seasons of health, all hearts may be disposed to improve, to moral and virtuous purposes, both the threatening and felicitating dispensations of Heaven. Your Committee, at his period, chearfully recognize those principles of undeviating veracity, which during the increasing terror of their fellow-citizens, directed their daily reports respecting the progress of disease, -- It is with great satisfaction that they have found it evinced by their experience, that such exact details as they made to the public, instead of increasing those terrors, have tended in a great measure to subdue them: and the accomplishment of this is of immense importance to public happiness and convenience; fear mitigates its objects. During the existence of a calamity of this kind, circumstances will be ever exaggerated, by the timidity and credulity of individuals. It is to be lamented, however, that falsehoods have been propogated from the basest, meanest, and most despicable motives -- by some as an apology for their panicc apprehensions -- by others, form the sensibilities of self-interest, and to gratify a sordid lust of gain,--- Lies have been propogated for the sake of the wonderful, and the excitement of surprise, by persons ungenerously forgetful of the extensive mischiefs naturally originating from this source - Despair - desertion - poverty - famine and death! Perhaps an ill-judged tenderness for their reputation has prevented the publication of the names of some offenders. Had the falsehoods, repeated with great confidence in the country had any proper foundation, our city would long since have been nearly desolated. We turn with pleasure to the recollection of circumstances more creditable to humanity and to acknowledge the liberality of those o our fellow citizens who have contributed to alleviate the distresses of the sick and suffering poor. The generous interference of sympathy from Philadelphia, and some neighbouring villages, demand our lasting gratitude: Such instances of mutual good-will and beneficence remain grateful memorials of the fraternity of a free and virtuous people. From these resources 8837 dollars have been received; and your Committee feel a responsibility in the faithful and just distribution. Its proper objects being numerous, and often probably not within the sphere of their individual knowledge, each of the members of the committee is associated with two respectable citizens, in seeking out the sick and relieving those to whom their charity is directed. Circumstances have not been wanting to shew the happy influence of temperance, cleanliness, and cold upon the late Epidemic. But while we rejoice that benevolent nature has given power to these agents to set bounds on its ravages, let us recollect that they are assiduously to be employed. We feel it incumbent on us to remind our fellow citizens of this truth, particularly those who are returning from the country. Houses which have contained the sick should be carefully ventilate; and things that have been employed by them, that cannot conveniently be cleansed by water, should be subjected freely to the action of cold. It is not impossible that neglect in these particulars may occasion a few solitary instances of this disease, until we have experienced intense frost. For though we flatter ourselves it is extinguished as an Epidemic, and our streets free from all infection, we have before us the experience of other places to impress the necessity of such precautions. Among the arrangement made by the Committee to prevent the spread of infectious disease, they consider early interments, and the use of the hearse, as one of the most important. Satisfactry of proofs of its utility might be detailed. It is to be wished that the good sense of the community might be exerted to conquer any prejudices which may remain in opposition to a practice of burial so much more convenient than the common mode, and so much more safe. The resent state of Bellevue Hospital is pleasing, not only from it we anticipate the speedy extinction of all diseases therein, but from the happy and comfortable situation of the sick, and from the satisfaction expressed by them, with respect to their medical attendance. But three new patients have been received during the last ten days. There are now 13 sick in the hospital, 12 of whom are considered out of all danger. Since its first establishment eighty-nine persons have been discharged cured; the deaths have been published with our daily reports. It is with great satisfaction that we remark, that, although some of the people who have been employed in attending this hospital have been slightly affected with the Epidemic, no one has died. Much to the injury of the unfortunate persons who have been sent to his place, its circumstances have been sometimes grossly misrepresented. The sick have, in consequence, in numerous instances, sought this Asylum with hearts aching with anxiety and despair. A senior consulting physician, was early appointed to visit it occasionally form this city. From its first establishment, one, and since the 24th of September, two physicians have constantly resided within its walls. A new building has been erected during the sickness, and no expense has been spared to render the sick commodious and happy. A committee from this board have made frequent visits and examination of its circumstances, and, from time to time, have witnessed with pleasure its improving state. A more vigilant, humane, or attentive man, was never appointed Purveyor to an Hospital, than our late worthy Member, Mr. Frederick Stymets, whose death reminds us of the loss of our other friend and associate, Dr. Malachia Treat, who, there is reason to suspect, was also of victim to the discharge of faithful duty. The public will join with us in deploring the loss of such worthy and respectable members of society. Before we dismiss the subject of the Hospital, it is but just that we acknowledge our sense of the merit of Dr. Alexander Anderson, and Dr. McFarlin, resident physicians at Bellevue (The former of these gentlemen engaged with zeal and virtue, at an early period, and under discouraging circumstance in their arduous duty.) Both for their persevering attention, humanity, and fidelity to the sick, they have deserved well of their country. The Committee being employed in arranging expenditures, and in the settlement of accounts, request that all persons having demands upon them, present the same to Alderman Furman, No. 100, Broadway, on or before the 20th inst.
