THE NINETEENTH CEN April 1892
' THE HORRORS '
T he diminislied flow of the donations to the Shishkoff Kussian Famine
Fund now warrants the cessation of the work of receiving, acknow
ledging, and forwarding them, which the publishers of this Eeview
have so kindly performed. The subscription list of the
Century is therefore closed, and the names of all subscribers will be
published in the next (May) number of the Eeview.
Upwards of 2,000^. has been forwarded from the offices of the
Nineteenth Century by Messrs, Sampson Low & Co. to Mr. Shish
koff, from whose last letter of thanks it would appear that the actual
famine in his districts of the country is now giving place to one of
its dreaded consequences, typhus fever, Mr. Shishkoff has wisely
devoted part of the funds sent to him towards the relief of those
stricken by tnis pestilence. He says in his last letter:
4 The distress has driven thousands of peasants to the town of
Samara, and amongst these thousands of half-fed, half-clad, and
penniless men, women, and children—as you may well imagine—
disease soon found an easy prey. Typhus has broken out in two
village centres in the district of Bouzoulouk and Novo-Ouzensk—in
a group of villages in the first district there are about 650 persons
ill, in the second about 350 men down. Local means are quite in
adequate. ... I have decided to send a detachment—two doctors,
four assistants, and four Sisters of Charity—to Novo-Ouzensk with all
th£ means necessary; and to open immediately an hospital for 100
patients in the town of Samara, with a similai staff of doctors, assist
ants, and nurses, out of the fund collected by yourself. ... I think
it will be judicious to apply part of your subscription to assist those
whom hunger and want have made the victims of typhus. The cost
of the hospital (100 patients) will be about 500Z. for the two months
of March and April (old style), and the cost of the medical party to
the Novo-Ouzensk villages about 200^. for the same time.'
