DR.. STONE ON YELLOW FEVER AGA1N-The follow
ing DR.. Stones remarks at the meeting of the New
Orleans Board of Health the 29th uit. Oh the mo-
ton to declare the epidemic at an end in that city:
He said that his observations, since his return to the
city, had proved concusivcy to him that the dsease
had run its course. He met people the streets
every day who had not had the fever and certainly
they having been here during the entire summer ex-
posed the subtle poison which has pervaded the at
mosphere, liable to contract the fever than
those who have been travelling North 1t was mis-
taken idea to suppose that because may have been
absent from the city during portions of epidemic sea
sons, that therefore would be apt to contract
the fever returning; the contrary those persons
who in the most vigorous health are more able to
combat the atmospheric influence and to resist the
disease if contracted
He believed that there but little poison in the
air here now, and that what there was is so widely DIFF
fused to render it extremely improbable that parties
returning to the city would be affected by it. There
would undoubtedly be for some time sporadic cases.
but they would amount to nothing. He has known
scattering of yellow fever here during Christmas
but would have been folly to have advised persons
to remain away from the city on that account His
experience ught him that the disease continued
in an epidemic form for more than twelve weeks and
that after the lapse of that period it would cease
whether there were frost not. Frost did neces
sarily destroy the disease he preferred seeing bright
cold weather, such as we now having, to seeing
frost, for the latter is always indication of bad
weather. In to a remark of the President as
to the of dsntecants etc. DR.. Stone replied that
for disease SO intangible as yellow fever it was al
most impossible to find antidote It is mysterious
poison that sweeps the land, which we cannot
take hold of and anayse. We could only be guided
the future by what experience has taught US in the
past, and he had failed to discover that the disease
at all contagious. He commended that whatever is
contagious is uniformly So and that there we're nu-
merous instances where yellow fever had failed to
spread ITSELF though parties constantly brought
in contact with the sick. Taking all these things into
consideration, he thought it perfectly safe to declare
fever non-epdenc. Those persons who are residing
within radius OF 200 miles OF the city much safer
here and before parties at distance can arrive there
will be no danger for them.
