EDITOR LEDdER-Within the last
twenty-four hours l suppose at least
one hundred Of our citizens have
called on ne to make inquiry aud
obtain advice in regard to the yellow
fever that has broken out in our city.
Believe me when | tell you that this
is no new thing in Memphis it has
been here, il symptoms tell the truth,
for a month and more, aud its germs
or cause no doubt has been lurking
in our midst from last years havoc,
only waiting for the intense heat to
develop its fury, and strange to say
that until day before yesterday when
physicians by chance should meet with
nearly fulliedged cases and assumed
the privilege to speak of it, not only
did his own professional brethren
pounce upon him. and others that
make no pretentions to medicine at all
would boldly assert that such was a
fearful, mischievous and uncalled for
lie, and that such parties should be
treated with a shirt of tar and feath-
ers, or driven out of the city for all
coming time.
My advice to those that are greatly
alarmed is to get away from the city if
they can do SO conveniently for a few
days, or at least until time may de-
yelope the true condition of things,
and should it assume an epidemic
form, however, which | feel will not
be the case, the most important step
will be for all concerned is to leave the
city and depopulate it as rapidly as it
is possible to do. For the life of me |
can e no true courage nor praise
worthy judgment in remaining in the
midst of a hidden and deadly foe with
outany sure weapons of defense. But as
| have said before, yellow fever seldom
attacks the same locality the second
year in succession in an epidemic form.
| believe that we shall have sporadic
cases through the city as / stated
weeks aud weeks ago, but it will not
put on an epidemic form by any means.
This is my opinion, and my opinion
only. | may be mistaken in regard to
it, however.

The virginia springs.

The White Sulphur is the center of
the Springs region of the Alleghanies.
1t is the distributing depot for visi-
tors to all the other and lesser water
ing-places in the mountains. They
all come here, and after spending a
week or two, or perhaps a month, dis
perse to whatever place they have
selected to sojourn the remainder of
the summer. Within a radius of
about seventy miles are not less than a
score Of lovely watering places nesting
In these grand mountains, and they
are all literally patronized during
the season. The nearest of these is
the Red Sweet Springs, fourteen
miles distant, and just one mile
beyond is the old Sweet one Of the
largest, best appointed and most de-
llghtful resorts in the Alleghanies.
They can be reached from the White
either by stage direct or by the Chesa
peake and Ohio railway to Allegheny
station and thence nine miles by stage.
To the west of the White Sulphur lie
the Salt Sulphur and the Red Sulphur
Springs. They are both located south
of the line of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railway, the Salt Sulphur, sew
enteen miles by rail to Fort Springs
station and fourteen miles thence by
stage the Red Sulphur, thirty-six
miles to Lowell station by rail and
fourteen miles thence by stage. Coming
east the visitor has the choice of per-
haps the greatest variety of medicinal
springs in the world. The. first is the
Healing Springs, then the Hot, the
Warm and the Bath Alum. They arc
all located in what is known as the
Warm Spring Valley, and are noted
for the extraordinary temperature as
well as the curative and healthful
qualities Of their waters. Leaving
the White Sulphur by the Chesa.
peake and Ohio railway the distance
to Coyington is twenty-five miles by
rail from thence TO the Healing by
stage fifteen miles, to the Hot
eighteen miles, to the Warm twenty
three miles, aud to the Bath Alum
twenty-one miles. The waters of
these springs are hot and warm, as
their names indicate, and with the
Healing are favorite Tesarts Tor inva.
lids as well as healthy people.
