Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1878-09-03

slclan who hau charge OF the crews OF the
blockade runners, treated his patients in this
way: At the very first symptoms of the dis
ease, he administered powerful emetic and
a powerful cathartlc. The violent action of
vomiting and purging made the patient
throw the virus out from the vital organs I'M
mediately, keeping the patient cool by bath
ing the body constantly, and light diet Out
of nine hundred men constantly exposed to
the contagion in the West India ports, only
three cases were fatal, and these went into
Havana to their friends, were attended by
native physicians, and died. The constant
intercourse with ports where yellow.fever
was epidemic, two hundred cases daily at
Havana, at that time, show remarkable ex-
emption of the blockade runners. 1t would
be worth trial to test the efficacy OF DIR.
Towards system in treating the present
| form OF yellow-fever, which has baffled the
skill of medical treatment so far. Ipecac was
the emetic used salts and SIENNA the cathar-
| tic. MARY NOLAN.
| u CoLoRED PREACHERS CALL FOR AID.
We. the preacers of this city, seeing that
| the suffering of humanity was great that

appeal to the absent public to give us all you
can to relieve the suffering. Every little will
be some help. The preachers aid associa-
| ton is in cooperation with the Towards and
Citizens relief committee. All will respond
to the call. If money is sent by pOstoffice
order, direct to Thomas Shields, secretary of
Avery chapel; all provisions sent to same ad
dress.
NOBLE EXAMPLE OF SELF SACRIFICE.
EDITORS APPEAL-George Hoist, one of
our most valuable citizens, who worked until
he was perfectly exhausted, has gone to
blissful reward. He was a courteous and
valiant knight Templar, true christian,
and an honest man. Yesterday, at eleven
O'Clock. being perfectly conscious, he said to
me: Brother Slater, | am glad you have
come to see me. l am ready. l have done
my duty to my fellowman, to my country,
and to my God. My father taught me to OBJ
serve the golden rule l have sought to
keep it." In parting with him, he said,
then, pointing significantly upward, he
added-'let us meet in heaven" An hour
afterward he said to Brothers A. J. Wheeler
and Waynsburg: Good bye, am going.
My mother taught, me the way | should go.
E. C. SLATER.
DIR. WATSON NOT NEGLECTED.
EDITORS APPEAL-Your statement IN Sun
day issue in regard to the death of DR.. K.
?. Watson Is erroneous and must have arisen |
from a mistaken identity, as | can account |
for 1t in no other way. The facts are these: |
He was taken with the fever Saturday night, |
August Oath. | was sent for the next morn
ing, but being assigned to duty at the city |
hospital did not get the word until late in the |
evening. His family being absent from the |
city he went to Mrs. Knights, 81 Second |
street, where | found him. DR.. Sim In the |
meantime had prescribed for him. Mrs. |
Knight was as attentive as she could have |
been to father; never left his bedside until |
the next evening (Monday) when she was |
taken down with the fever. He was fur |
nished by the Towards with nurses, wines, |
ice, etc. | made him three visits on Monday |
+ mir I 10 T,ao
day afternoon, at two O'Clock, | found him |
dead-which was no surprise, as his case was |
most Fundamentally dressed, etc. Fearing |
the undertaken might get his body guard |
was kept at his door all night. Mr.. Hawks |
had him neatly buried Wednesday morning, |
the sake of his family and friends, and be-
cause to me he was a very dear friend.
