The sun OF yesterday evening says
1T is needless for us to tel! our readers that
from statements by those who ought to
know, We are of the opinion that Mr.. Clark
died of yellow fever, contracted in Memphis
but that our physicians think that this dis.
ease can not and will not spread from this
case" Will our neighbor be kind enough
to give to the public the statements by
those who ough, to know" upon which il
expresses the opinion that Mr.. Clark died
OF yellow fever! \ newspaper opinion OF
the matter amounts to very little in any
event; but such an opinion expressed upon
the authority Of physicians whc
examined the case and passed upon il
would be Justly entitled to weight We
therefore express the opinion based upon
Statements of those who ought to know
that Mr.. Clark did not die OF yellow fever
and "those who ought to know are physi-
clans who examined the case. DR.. Dun
ming expressed the opinion and is positive
in it, that Mr.. Clark died Of 'pernicous
bilious fever" the board OF health adopted
this view of it. Dr. Wardner thinks i,
mighthave been yellow fevermodtied bye
matte conditions while Dr. Waldo, whcl
we last interviewed him on the subject, wa,
of the opinion that il was bilious fever o.
an aggravated type. The testimony is con
elusive therefore that the case was not vel
| low fever-at least such is the testimony OF
doctors, and we believe they may safely be
ranged under the head Of that large class
those who ought to know" 1t is proba-
| Die. however. that the sun bases lis state
mcnt upon diagnosis of the case
made by his honor and an expert
enced nurse sent by his honor to investigate
the subject, and in this way to settle and
reconcile the doubts which existed at one
time in the scientific minds Of the VI. d. S
The nurse first sided with the men of sci
ence. He changed his mind, however, after
| fuller investigation and concluded that il
was a case of the most pronounced type
The doctors, however did not change, and
the board of health adopted their views
THE BULLETIN believes that the doctor,
were right, and the sun and its informant,
wrong in their conclusion Will our neigh
Dor give us the names Of those who ought
TO know ~
