Yellow Fever in Savannah.
Georgia papers report the prevalence
of yellow fever in Savannah in an ep-
idemic form. Hundreds of residents
of that city are pouring into the upper
towns of the State by every train. The
Atlanta constitution of Sept. lst, says
From the most reliable sources at our
command we gather that the disease
first made its appearance, some days
ago, in the low sailors boarding houses
in the river quarters Of the city. This
fact would argue that it come thither
from some foreign port. most probable
brought by a vessel touching at a Gu.
han port. There were several deaths
before it came to be admitted that the
disease was really of the yellow type,
| but the symptoms became pronounced
and could no longer be mistaken. In
one case we are told that the black
vomit was fully discovered. The dis
ca Sc began to spread and take in other
portions of the city. and the physi-
clans began to prepare for hard and
tough fight with the terrible foe. As
yet it would seem that the disease has
confined itself in the main to that
class subject to its ravages, being those
people who have the least regard to
temperance and cleanliness. If freports
from all int elligent and sincee sources
can be relied upon, the fearful fever
is gaining prevalence among this
mass which will battle all the skill of
the medical profession for some time
to come. Numbers are being pr0strat-
ed daily but thus far the malignant
form of the disease is rare.
Profitable Humbug.
