Already Europe is becoming alarmed at the appearance of the plague, or black death, in the East, and fears are express ed that it may spread westward. It therefore becomes important to know the characteristics of the disease. The Lon don Standard states, on pathological ground, that it is a "very malignant form of contagious fever," which breaks out suddenly in certain localities and spreads with frightful velocity, and that the pres ent "tpye" is as virulent as that of the Middle Ages. It is characterised by swellings of the lymphatic glands and carbuncles and beyond doubt one seizure seems to afford no security against a sec ond attack. This is, however, a point upon which physicians have not often had a chance of studying, since"thepest" does not usually leave the same individu al a chance of expci ience its symptoms twice. It has been contended that it is not contagious, but in almost every case of an outbreak the disease has been trac ed to persons who have come from infect ed districts. In the Astrakhan epidemic of 187'.), and in that of 1771, which cut off 100,000 people in Moscow, the pestilence was known to have been brought, in one Instance, from Central Asia, and in the other from Choezin. Again during the latter outbreak, the 1,400 inmates of the Imperial Foundling hospital, who were isolated, aud iu 1818 the town of Jegia, ill Malta, which was shut off from Valet ta, where the disease was raging, entire ly escaped. Quarantine, however, as a preventive against the ravages of the cholera, has been proved to be utterly fu tile, and it is very generally allowed that it is not much more potent as a barrier against the plague. No other form of death has ever enlisted into its service historians of such briliant talent. I>e Foe could not have been an eyewitness of the horrible scenes of 1665 in London, but he had doubtless talked to many who had survived those dreadful times and were familiar with the tales of the corpse carrying wagon going its dismal rounds, the living being unable to carry out the dead, and London deserted by the court, and indeed all who could escape into the country. In "Kieuzi" Lord Lytton has given an account scarcely less pictorial of the plague in Florence, and in almost every other European country '-the pest" which crept like a foul miasma over Asia, Northern Africa and Europe, from Naples to Archangle, and even to distant Greenland, where it smote the Esqui maux by thousands, has secured such able chroniclers that, at the slightest sign of its reappearance, Western Europe naturally grows alarmed, in the years 1348, 1361, 1363, 13(50 and 1(103, London was visited by the "black death," though these early attacks of disease sink into Insignificance when compared with that which desolated the city in 1(563, the year which will ever be known as "the year of the plague " In"reality, however.though it caused before Christmas a mortality of 68,306 out of 500,000 people which the metropolis then contained, it did not •abate until 1666, while in the thirteen subsequent years there were many fatal cases recorded. But after 1679 no death from plague is known to have occurred, and in 1704 so entirely had it disappeared that the name of the disease was actually omitted from the bills of mortality.
