HOW TO TREAT YELLOW FEVER.
oFF1CE BOARD OF, HEALTH,

The Board of Health publish tho
following for the information OF the
public, in view of the presence of yell
low fever in our midst:
MODE OF ATTACK.
The Onsent is more apt to be sudden
and violent than that of the other
fevers which prevail here, and apt to
occur at night.
THE EARLY SYMPTOMS.
frequently, but not invariably, a
chill precedes the fever. There is VIC
lent pain in the forehead at the begin
ming, soon followed by severe pain in
the lower part of the back. The eyes
are red and glistening.
COURSE RECOMMENDED TO THOSE
ATTACKED. II
Any individual affected as above
described should Immediately go
home, go to- bed, and send for physi-
clan without delay. Without waiting
for his arrival hot foOt-bath should
be taken, and perspiration encouraged
by warm drinks and moderate cover
in bed. If there should be any delay
in the arrival Of the physician, a sim
pie purgative should be taken and if
the attack comes on soon after eating,
an cmetic of ipecac or mustard would
be advisable. Prompt treatment is of
the utmost importancein this disease,
and it should be understood that per-
sons ought not to walk about after feel
ing sick, nor get up at all after once
going to bed, until the attack is over.
PRECAUTIONS. ~ x'
Those who have not had the
should avoid localities knowpI-.-,-
fected, and should stay in LA RUE Oh
as much as possible duringcelving the
Preventative medicines arc usgas that
free alcoholic rotations are the >dipp
preparation for encountering the fev.,s
Regular habits, tranquility of mind,
and moderation in all things should
be observed. If any have determined
to leave the city, they should do so
before they have rendered themselves
liable TO contract the fever, for it would
be much safer to go through it here at
home than away among strangers.
DOMESTIC DISINFECTIoN
1t Is recommended that all articles of
clothing taken from a PATIENTS person
and bed be put in five per cent solu- |
ton of Calvert's No. S carbolic ac;>'
All discharees--f'.a--c.- notie--i-p De at
size election-is known to us as a
gentleman of fine administrative abil-
ity, naturally, and of large finan.
cial experience. He was one of the
city administrators of New Orleans
four years ago, defeating Gen. Beaure-
gard. In the campaign of 1876 his
services were invaluable, and were re-
cognized by Gov. Nichols by an ap-
pointment as tax collector of the First
district of New Orleans. Major Burke
was the confidential representative of
the Governor at Washington during
the contest there between the Packard
and Nichols governments, and tho
and documents, but
recently published, show that Major
Burke discharged the duties of deli
cate position most admirably and very
Major Burke is first-rate talker-not I
an orator, such as George Sheridan,
who could speak a piece hundred q
times, and it would be thought oriei- I;
nal at every appointment-but a T.
sound, logical reasoner. We venture Z
10 say he will make an active canvass 4
81 the State, so that all tho people may t
sec and hear the Major for themselves. r.
He is ga good fellow" and will SO I'M
press all who may meet him.
