Resolved, That in consequence Qf the gradual de> crease of deaths during several days, a (general re- turn of the deaths each day since the appearance of the malady,' to;ether with a statement of the returns of the hospital since its establishment, be published ia the newspapers. J. Z. Nault, Secretary. The Committee then agreed to the draft of an Ad- ^ dress to its fellow citizens, in the following; terms : The Health Committee refrained, on the appear- ance of the prevailing malady, from making public the number of deaths which had occurred, on the ground that it would unnecessarily foster public alarm, but it i'eserved the execution of its intention in that respect, to the period when it could an- nounce a decided diminution in the intensity of the disease. This period so desired appears at length to h%ve arrived, and it is with heartfelt pleasure that the Health Committee sees reason to inform the public, that a gradual and peVmaneht diminution in the number of deaths for several days past, gives room to hope, that< with the divine will, suitable precautions will deliver us from a Scourge that has for the second time thrown a veil of mourning on families, and swept off so many victims. The return iof deaths subjoined, on the exactness of which re- liance may be placed, will exhibit the extent of the cahimity, and shew the progress and dimiuutiod; of the malady from its appearance. ^1^^ Edouard Caron, Mayor, Que])^Hli August 1831. , "'^iealT 1832^ T^ II 11 July 7 6 1 5 12 8 2 2 2 6 9 3 1 2 6 10 3 3 4 10 11 9 I 4 14 12 13 1 3 17 13 5 4 13 22 June e^ 6 10 7 11 29 12 27 13 70 14 92 15 143 41 13 33 87 374 .«EC0ND Week. 14 15 3 11 29 . 16 120 15 17 2 - 8 27 17 97 16 20 3 9 32 18 112 17 15 V 4 18 37 19 117 18 17 5 9 31 20 122 19 17 7 18 42 21 70 20 27 9 9 2 47 22 78 — - — — — 128 33 82 2 245 716 THIRD WEEK. 21 24 9 21 3 57 23 34 22 19 5 2 3 29 24 33 23 10 5 10 1 26 25' 49 24 10 6 9 5 30 26 40 25 15 11 15 9 50 27 31 26 20 11 13 4 48 • 28 21 27 10 8 8 4 30 29 38 * — — 108 55 78 29 270 240 FOURTH WEEK. 28 9 13 11 4 37 30 33 29 19 10 8 4 41 July 1 31 30 18 10 5 3 36 * 2 '21 31 17 12 9 2 40 3 25 Aug. 1 13 2 11 3 29 4 17 2 15 7 5 1 28 5 24 3 6 11 5 I 23 6 IS 9f* 65.
