DENGUE FEVER.
VERY BAD IN N.S.W
(Received 12 noon.) SYDNEY, this day. Dengue fever is still raging in the northern part of the State. Over a thousand cases have occurred at Tamworth, where business is dislocated.— (A. and N.Z.) Dengue fever is epidemic and contagious. The onset is very sudden and makes tho patient limp and lifeless. The joints ache abominably. The eruption is a good deal like that of scarletina. There is little doubt that, like other wicked inflictions such as malaria, dengue is carried by a mosquito. Australia is so large and so empty that the chance of eradicating disease-bearing insects is remote.
