Ague
is an archaic term
for fever. The translation in Leviticus 26:16 (R.V., "fever")
of the Hebrew word kaddah'ath, meaning "kindling",
i.e., an inflammatory or burning fever. In Deut. 28:22 the word
is rendered "fever." It was also used in Old English as
a word for malaria.
Montezuma
Marsh. Ague
killed about 1000 men in the digging of the Montezuma Marsh
section of the Erie Canal in 1819. It was understood that the
fever came from the swamps, but not that mosquitoes were the
carriers. "Bad air" was blamed instead. Along the
southeastern coast of the United States during its early history
ague was a major killer, and many of the wealthier residents of
Charleston, Savannah and other coastal cities with large swampy
areas would travel to Boston or to the southern Appalachian
Mountains to escape.
