can ef1ect the appearance OF an epidemic. /
belieVe IN the germ theory, and think that
fever Is reproduced from specific germ not
liable TO destruction, as far as l can gather
from my experiments, by chemical means. The
best means of prevention are by thorough

He said yellow fever can be imported, but he
