Yellow Fever symptoms.

The Austin (TeXas) Gazette, of the third.
gives the particulars OF an interview had
with DIR. Heard, of Galveston. Texas, as to
the yellow fever: CDR. Burns called DIR.
Heard's attention to the daily presence of a
reddish-yellow canopy in the shape of a
cloud floating above the city. DIR. Heard
had noticed this phenomenon on approach
ing the city, but had ascrbed it to natural
causes. He was informed, however, that
this cloud had preceded the epidemic, and
had steadily remained above the city
since the prevalence of yellowjack. The
symptoms of the disease are most unusual.
the fever period being much shorter than
heretofore and unacompanied by many of
the accepted characteristics of the disease.
Yellow fever heretofore has usually mani
tested great pains in the head, back and
legs of the afflicted. These pains do not ac
com pany the present type, but every Ia
tient whom DIR. Heard had an opportunity
of questioning complained of violent pains
id the stomach and nOlcbere else. There is
also an absence of the usual flush; the fever
ranges extremely low; rapid sinking sets in
quickly, and hemorrhage and black vOmit
follow in a very short space of time. The
most infallible test of the disease is an eX-
traordinary deposit OF albumen in the
urine. DIR. Heard gives it as his opinion
that the disease cannot be controlled in New
Orleans; that it must break through the
cordons in that city, and must eventually
spread independent of contact. He fur
Their states that it is the most malignant
type of yellow fever he ever saw"

Overtasking the Energies.

1t is not advisable for any of us to over
task our energies, corporal or mental, but
