THE STORY OF A PHYSICIAN.
WAsuISeroS, D. c., September IL. DR..
VIM. j. Ramsey, one OF the physicians
who went to Memphis with corps Of
Washington nurses, has returned to Wash:
ington in company with DR.. I. Pease and
Mrs. Malls. In an interview DR.. Ramsey
said: "Before reaching Memphis, even
when five miles out, the air was laden with
yellow fever poison, and aswe approached
the city the stencil was absolutely sicken-
ing. Dr., Pease, and myself went TO the
Peabody Hotel, the only one now open,
and were shown into a room from which
dead body had Just been taken. Vessels
OF black vomit were standing about the
room and the bed clothes had not beHl
changed. The hotel itself is perfect 4
house, and victims OF the disease ara ii
two thirds OF the rooms. Sulphur IbIAs
were kept burning in the halls, and .le
clothes and bedding are constantly
disinfected, but they cannot get persons
enough in the hotel TO do one-half OF what
ought to be done. All commerce has
ceased and business OF nearly every kind
is suspended. The people have no heart
to attempt any regular business, and could
not II they would. Even liquor. saloons,
for the most part, are closed and provision
stores are empty. The greatest need is
provisions, clothing, physicians, money,
nurses and medicines, The best thing
that can be done now Is to send
plenty OF provisions and clothing. The
negroes and many poor whites for u section
OF d hundred and fifty miles around Nom
phis have focked in, hearing that they
couldrget something to eat, and as for
clothes, hundreds OF poor people are going
about, especially colored women, with
hardly anything on at all. Sights In this
respect are distressing. So far no ccrious
outbreak has occurred, but the better classes
are In constant terror OF riot. The city
is in the hands Of the colored police alto.
gether and while they behave very well
there is still n lurking fear on the part OF
the whites OF some additional evil.
