General Advertiser September 13

My scanner and Goggle blogger can't handle the presentation of newspapers on-line as many of the web sites dedicated to doing that, but most of them charge a fee, and mine is free. I present a small image of half of the page first followed by a large image and then do the same for the second half of the page.

This issue of the General Advertiser has a letter from Benjamin Rush extolling his approach to the fighting the epidemic followed by a contrary view by Dr. Kuhn. Then there is a letter from Dr. Edward Stephens discussing his treatment followed by comment from Rush. And don't miss a note at the bottom of the third column announcing that the sickness of two letter carriers means that patrons in two parts of the city will have to come to the Post Office to get their mail for a few days. And announcements about the Bush Hill hospital at the top of the fourth column.
