History, SC, York, Grand Jury 1842 York Court House October Term 1842 The grand jurors for the York district beg leave to present, that as regards the health of the country there has been no season within the recollection of the jurors, in which such general sickness has pervaded the whole face of the country, attended with such fatality and without, stopping to inquire into the natural or proved what causes of such visitation, the jury would suggest that as there is a great deal of dead timber and large quantities of vegetable matter in a constant course of decay, they have the greatest confidence that burning over the whole face of the country (that is the timbered land) would prove particularly beneficial, altho they are aware that prejudices exist against burning as injuring the timber and production of the land which they think is probably not well founded. We present as a grievance that the practitioners of medicine, under the Thompsonian System, are not allowed to collect their bills by law as other physicians.
