The epidemlc outbreak at Gallipolis, during September of the present year, is most certainly proof positive that the disease, under certain favorable conditions, may become epidemic in this State. Grave doubt is also thrown on the statement of Drake, that the Gallipolis outbreak of 1796 was not one of yellow fever. History repeats itself; and, in the future, many writers will be disposed to think that the form of disease, manifested, at Gallipolis in 1796, was identical with that which appeared in 1878. The Views of the writer have been materially modified as before stated, within the short space of one year. Some little personal experience with the disease during the summer just past has caused this radical change of opinion.
