tests itself in the SYMPTOMS OF yellow
fever" Now the evidences SO fully
shown in the spontaneous presence OF
yellow fever which appeared in Memphis
and New Orlean as we'll as other loca tiles
furnishes overwhelming proof that the
theories of the Rio physicians are found
ed upon correct scientific principles.
The fact that notwithstanding the rig
| i'll enforcement of tie quarantine laws OF
New Orleans, the yellow fever made ITS
anpearance in it's most deadly form
should lie sufficient to carry conviction
TO every thinking mind that the importa-
ton theory is fallacy and the quaran-
tine Il disastrous and empty delusion.
rL:. the yellow lever has made its APP
ncararce n New Orleans solely from tel
luric or terre,,e causes is a well establish
ed fact and that it's ravages have beer
circun,scribcd and the diseas sc even eN-
, PEELED by the able appliances of sanitar,
= science is also IN achievement OF medl
! cal skill that challenges refuta'ion. W.

c there are other means besides thunde
5. and rain storms to destroy these germs
;, 1t is we'll known that Bayou Sara has a
Il wa7s been the headquarters OF yclio'
% fever after it made its appearance !
d New Orleans, and that during the sun
es mer If 1873 while the yellow fever hinge

re we succeeded in protecting the place III
he only from yellow fever, but all o IL
ld forms of malaria. This was effected
he thorough drainage, cleanliness, the II

lid assert that it was the result OF cors"
