thing about the virtues of the fever tree for
counteracting malaria. 1t Is said that tea
made from the leaves of this tree will instant
ly bring on the most profuse perspiration,
and will maintain it continually until the last
vestige of fever is eliminated from the sys-
TEN. Mr.. Philip w. Dielmann, Of Miller &
Dielmann, has been testing this tea IN various
kinds of fever, and with uniform and won
derful success in every case. His experience
leads him to; believe that the eucalyptus tea
can be made to render the most important
service in yellow-fever, for which he especial
" commends it as an agent superior to every
other of its kind. He has raised on his place
a number of eucalyptus trees, and will cheer
fully give leaves TO any one who may desire
to try them. He has seen a case of chills
and fever of two years standing cured with
one cup of this tea, and Is satisfied that it
will do good in any kind of febrile disorder"

a belief that yellow-fever will certainly make
its appearance IN Louisville IN an epidemic
form. ! simply believe 1t possible, and have
some fear of it. | do assert, however that
this scourge will be more extensive and terri
Gle than any that has ever fallen upon the
south, and that it will scourge cities, towns
and districts that>it has never visited before
do not think it the best policy to assure a
community Of absolute immunity from a
danger. II the blow should fall the panic
will be general and terrible. | think it is
better to teach the people that the danger Is
not so great when they understand how to
meet it with timely and proper precautions,
that being timely forewarned they may, to a
certain extent, avert or mitigate the evil. |
