An interesting report on the yellow
fever and cholera epidemics of 1878
has been made by DR.. Frank w.
Kelley, Surgeon in the u. $. Marine
Hospital service. The report was pre-
pared for the Secretary of the Treasury,
in accordance with resolution of the
Senate of the United States.
DIR. Kelley states that from the
month of February until the Dist of
November, 1873, there occurred in this
country 3,769 deaths from malignant
or epidemic cholera. During the same
period of each year there tt:cur about
2l.OOO deaths from diarrh8, dysentery
and cholera infautum. From May 23d,
1873, to Nov. Goth of the same year,
there were 3,349 deaths from epidemic
yellow fever. During the same period
of each year, there occur an aggregate
of 5000 deaths from the various mala-
rial fevers. The last preceding cpl
demic of yellow fever was in 1867, and
from its subsistence to the close of 1872,
there were $40 deaths from the dis
ease; but during the same period more
than $4,000 persons had died of mala-
rial fever.
For six years preceding 1878, there
had been no epidemic cholera in the
country, but during those six years
the group OF diseases mostly RESENT
bling cholera carried off Us, 900 of the
population. "And year by year."
says the Doctor, "such, more or less
preventable diseases as smallpox,
scarlet fever, typhus, enteric fever and
consumption, are the causes of toll
eTably constant average of over l00,-
600 deaths per annum." In regard to
the origin of yellow fever, the mode of
its importation into the Gulf States,
and the specific modes of pre-
venting and limiting its ravages,
medical opinion remains as
confused and conflicting, and med
ical skill as powerless as ever. That
yellow fever is not epidemic in New
York every year, the Doctor thinks
is owing to the want of favoring con-
ditions in the seasons themselves. as
well as to the efficiency o. the New
York Board of Health. Medical and
Surg. Reporter, Phiia.
IL appears from the above report,
that, although cholera and yellow fe-
yer are objects of national dread, they
do not carry Off as many people in the
aggregate, as many diseases which pre-
vail every year, and are preUentdbLe to
greater or less extent. Defective
drainage, improper ventilation, and
neglect in removing offensive matter
from under our very eyes. are produc-
tive Of more deaths than those diseases
which are apt to be considered as the
direct visitation of God. Such
facts should awaken vigilance in our
municipal authorities, and suggest
means of preventing disease in our
midst.
Medical men all over the world are
constantly endeavoring to impress up~
on the public mind the great impor-
lance of sound sanitary regulations,
and still, upon no subject is there such
apathy. Such stOlid indifference is
seen upon any other subject. People
will pay physicians every year bills
for medical attendance in their fami-
lies, when but small proportion Of
the amount will suffice to prevent the
occurrence of thOse very diseases
which have afflicted them.
