Colonel Baker in his recently published work on Turkey reminds us that the Russian army has not yet encountered General Fever, as the season of the year for his deadly operations is only just commencing These terrible agues " have always proved peculiarly destructive to the Russian armies. They are only prevalent during the months of July, August, and Septemand then only on the plains; the rest of the year is very healthy. An army moving through the country during these months can never be certain of the number of men it can bring into line of battle. It may have 70,000 men to-day, and only 'IO,OOO to-morrow, for while the hot and cold stage of the fever is raging it completely incapacitates a man feu* any kind of work."
