Accounts received from the different parishes in the island, all confirm the flourishing and luxuriant state of growth of the Bread Fruit and other plants, lately introduced from the South Sea Islands; a very large number of Plants of the Bread Fruit have been added to the original stock by layers; and in the parish of Trelawny, there are several trees growing luxuriantly from cuttings. The Bumbling, Cherimaila, Otaheite, Plumb, Chesnut, etc. in the nursery at Bath, are putting out blossoms; these, with a number of ornamental plants, are in a thriving state, and plainly show the aptitude of our climate for the culture of Asiatic and South Sea Plants.
Mr. Fannin,
In consequence of a circular letter from his Honour the Custos, in the name of the Magistrates and other respectable inhabitants of this parish, directed to the Medical Gentlemen of this town and neighbourhood, requesting them to meet, in order to take into consideration the nature of the present prevailing fever, which has lately been so fatal to seamen and new comers; they met accordingly.
After full discussion, and comparing their experience, the following were unanimously their sentiments with regard to the characteristic symptoms of this disease, the most successful mode of treatment, and best means of prevention. The Medical Gentlemen think proper here to take notice, that a paragraph on this subject in the Cornwall Chronicle of last week, was altogether unauthorized.
The chief characteristic of this disease, is a sudden and violent determination of blood to the head, manifested by painful fullness and burning heat in the eyes, flushed countenance, intense headache, particularly in the forehead and temples, frequently accompanied with delirium, and various other affections of the nervous system. The pulse is in general full, soft, and frequent, but unusual throbbing about the neck and temples is observed; irritability of the stomach, bilious vomiting, prostration of strength, dejection of spirits, with the other symptoms of the common remitting fever of this island, constantly attend this disease; and indeed, this fever only seems to differ from that, in all its symptoms being much more violent and severe. In regard to the treatment; repeated experience has convinced us, that the chief safety of the patient consists in early bleeding, the quantity, as in other cases, to be regulated by the violence of the symptoms, strength, etc. of the patient.
