No man left the old hospital till all his clothes were washed; his hair was cut short, and himself bathed. On coming to the outside walls of the new hospital, every man stripped himself naked and went into a warm bath before his reception into the hospital. He was then provided with new clothing and bedding; the clothing brought with him was received by a non-commissioned officer, who saw it repeatedly washed and baked, after which it was received into the hospital store-room. On the evening of the 18th, I sent four more men into the observation-room, and, on the 21st, three of them were sent into the pest-house. The other did well in the observation-room. On the 23d, Littlejohn, a boy, was sent in the morning to the observation-room, having been attacked the night before with rigours. On the 25th, Egan, another suspicious case, was also sent there. In both of them a severe ptyalism was excited in less than forty-eight hours by mercury and nitric acid, and they afterwards did well. On the 28th, Craig, with febrile symptoms, was sent from the new hospital to the observation-room of the old. His gums were speedily affected; but it was found necessary to send him to the pest-house. This was the only instance of the plague which appeared in the 88th regiment after their removal to the new hospital. The six native followers, first sent off, had no symptoms of the disease for eight days after their arrival at the pest-house; but, on the 9th and 10th days after, all of them were attacked, and none survived the attack three days. Four more of the Indian servants, sent to the pest-house to attend the others, shared the same fate. The case of the Mukadum of the Dooli-bearers was the most rapid. On the 17th, he was attacked about nine o’clock in the morning with rigours, and died before four o’clock. No instances of the plague appeared in any other corps of the army during this month. Though they attempted to conceal it, we discovered that some _accidents_ (as they call it) had occurred about the beginning of September among the people of the town. The weather still continued the same during this, as the whole of last, month. The same winds prevailed, without rain or anything remarkable. On the 15th, 16th, and 17th, it blew from the westward: after this, we had close calm weather. After the 15th, the Nile at Rosetta began to recede. The general range of the thermometer, in a house in Rosetta, was from 73° to 83° 50´. After the plague, the most formidable disease in the army, from its general prevalence, was ophthalmia. In the 10th and 88th regiment there were upwards of three hundred and fifty cases. The total number in the army exceeded six hundred. Dysentery and hepatitis prevailed very generally among all the European corps; and the mortality of the month was very considerable. OCTOBER.
