A very alarming mortality
prevails in Medfield among the children. It is
said, that eleven have died within a few weeks,
the eldest about fifteen years. They are
generally ill not more than twenty-four hours,
and often from a sound state of health in the
morning, are a corpse before night. Many of the
faculty, we understand, have been consulted, but
are perfectly baffled in searching for the
cause. – Massachusetts pap.

was extensively reported in the Journal at that
time, was probably Herman Scharskopf, a young
man of good family, who resided in Toledo,
O. He came to Boston to be treated at the
Peabody Medical Institute, of 4 Bulfinch
Street. After one day in treatment he
disappeared, and was not seen by his physicians
again.
