36 Memoranda respecting the Influenza, 



According to Dr. Spalding's observations, annexed 

 to his Bill of Mortality for the City of Portsmouth, it 

 did not make its appearance in that city till about the 

 middle of August, and did not disappear till the begin- 

 ning of December. 



The editors of the New- York Medical Repository, 

 in the second number of the fifth volume of their second 

 hexade, say, a correct observer, who left New- York for 

 the Province of Maine, on the 20th of August, found, 

 on his arrival at Newport, that the disease had just be- 

 gun to make some progress there, and that the people 

 of Boston had begun to complain of it, but that it had 

 not made its appearance at Kennebeck, on his arrival 

 there on the 30th, though it was observed there a few 

 days later. 



The editors of the Medical Repository add, that the 

 Members of Congress from Georgia and South-Caro- 

 lina did not meet with the Influenza on their journey, 

 till they arrived at Raleigh, about the 17th or 18th of 

 October (though it appears, from the account with 

 which I have been favoured by Dr. Harris, that it made 

 its appearance in Charleston in the beginning of Octo- 

 ber, while the Yellow-Fever was prevalent there). 



The members from Tenessee observed it, for the 

 first time, at Staunton, which was about the same time 

 that it wi's observed at Raleigh. It had not made its 

 appearance at the Hot- Springs of Virginia on the 16th 

 of October, but was observed, by a member from Chi- 

 licothe, in Ohio, at Hockhocking on the 12th.
