lit is stated that on the 3lst of October,
1735, a Fast was observed in New England,
on account of this sickness (the “throat

Kingston, N. H., and -extended as far as
Cape Porpoise, and carried tiff It great
many children and young persons, and
spread alarm through the whole country
A note to the volume, says that this epi-
demic disease made its iippenriince in
Kingston, N. H., in May of that year, and
gradually spread through that township
during the summer. Of the first forty
who had the disease none recovered. In
August it began to make its appearance
it continued its ravages through the suc-
ceeding wi_nter _and spring, ilnll, did not
tllfillppt-‘ill’ until the“"end of the following
summer. in the province of New Hamp-
shire, no less than one thousand persons,
(of whom nine hundred were under twen-
ty years of age) fell victitns to this malig-
nant distemper... In Boston, four thou-
sand persons had the same diseiise——-and
one'hundred and fourteen died. In._H:iv-
