Abstract
New Castle, Colo., Sept. 1, 1894. To Editor: —Possibly some of your many readers may be interested in line from the heart of Rockies; not that we have much disease here, for we have very little where good habits prevail. I have seen an occasional case of mountain fever, form of remittent, consequent upon exposure and hot days and cool nights of July and August, altitude causing lower type and temperature than is found in low, damp regions where disease is most common. Both observation and reason commend careful use of still fashionable agents that depress heat-producing centers. An enforced idleness consequent upon labor troubles, a strike in mining camp of 1,200, when wages were so low they could not live, though they spent annually from seventy-five to an hundred thousand dollars for alcoholics, permitted me to camp out during August in near by big game country.
