Measures TO Deprive the Fever OF Food
CAIRO, August l5.-At the present time
yellow fever is known to exist in the
southwest, namely, Memphis and Mays
vile, Miss. As yet there is no positive
information with regard to the latter point,
but it is reported that the place has been
infected by box packed at Nicksburg
during the epidemic last year. An In.
spector Of the National Board
has been sent there, as the
place has no railroad or telegraphiC
communications, and as all the boats now
avoid it, the proper limitation Of infection
by the removal OF the we'll Is extremely
difficult. 1t is decided to continue per
fecting the system Of isolation at Mem.
phis under the rules of the National
Board. which have already given such
good results, and to use every possible
means TO induce the negroes who now
constitute the main source OF danger in
Memphis to move into the camps, and
thus deprive the fever OF material TO work
on; to secure the isolation OF cases and
OF infected houses, blocks or districts; to
effect this by combining as far as possible
the assurances OF local, State aud National
boards with those Of the Howard Asso.
citation, and Of the taxing district and
county authorities, and thus limit the
spread Of the disease. Esga
The National Board OF Health will meet
in Washington the first Of next week. 1t
has arranged to send = rnserve supply Of
tents, disinfectants, &C., TO Cairo and to
another point further South to meet any
emergencies. 1t will give substantial aid
at once to the State Board Of Health Of Ar.
kansas and Kentucky, and to the health
authorities of St. Louis in case assistance
Is needed.
