The New York herald., 1871-02-08

The number OF cases OF yellow fever which occur
red upon vessels arriving both on the passage and at
the port oi departure, no doubt greatly exceeds the
figures above given, as we have every reason to be-

prevailed, but which were not considered generally
Before the adoption Of our present system of
quarantine as lar back as l7es, and when me popu-
lation OF New York was less than $4,000, between
2,4o0 and 2, 500 died Of yellow tever.
In 1893 over 800 cases Of the same disease were
reported to have occurred.
In 1904 the number OF deaths from yellow fever
was 7os and In 1906 there were 600 cases, OF which

ring in the cities OF New York and Brooklyn can be
traced to vessels that complied with quarantine
regulations; yet more than hundred or these yes-
sells had lost part OF their passengers or crews from
this disease.
OF quarantine, the city OF New York was visited by
SEVENTEEN DISTINCT EpIDsyIcs
OF yellow lever, although the trade with infected
ports was then comparatively small.
During the sixty. years since 1909, beyond the
cases which annually occur at Quarantine we have
had but three epidencs OF this disease, aud IN each
instance the origin and spread of injection was
clearly attributable to an imperfect administration
! or dnect evasion OF the quarantine laws.
In 1922. when the whole population was panic
stricken and fed 10 terror to derent parts OF the
country, there Ii no doubt that the disease was
carried direct to the wharves Of the city by infected
vessels. In 1855 the accumulation Of nearly two
hundred vessels from injected ports at the old quar-
antine anchorage, at Staten Island was followed by
an outbreak OF yellow fever OF the most alarming
and disastrous character upon the adjacent shores
Of the bay.
The completion OF
THE NEW HOSPITALS

fecs in the quarantine establishment Of the port Of
New York. The old hospital ship, which had been In
use since the destruction OF the quarantine buildings
on staten Island, besides being III suited tV the care
