me yellow fever commission who
recently returneSsfrom Cuba after a
three InOnthsavisit of inquire il ex-
pected TO make an interesting re-
port a. soon as Congress meets. a
ulspatch from Washington to the
NeW York Times says or its works
at Havana:
In the prosecution Of its labors,
the commission had the assistance
81 II of the oldest aud most expert
eIleed physicians of Cuba, and all
the medical records and statistics in
relation to yellow fever which are
known to exist on the island were
placed at its disposal, including the
reports of military and other hos
pitfalls. In this way large mass Of
valuable information which has
never been published was obtained.
The hospital statistics are very COM
plete, running back for period of
twenty-five years, and cannot fail
TO be of great service to the medical
profession of this country in the
1 treatment of yellow fever. The
commission WAS instructed in pur-
suing its investigations, to obtain
full answers as fast as possible to
certain interrOgatOries prepared by
/ the National Board of Health, and
! these related generally to the en-
4 demic and epidemic character and
influence ofthe disease, the cause, if
any, of its termination, methods of
/ treatment, etc.
The commission was also instruct
ed to ascertain whether the disease
/ is permanent resident of Cuba,
and, if so, in what partichr parts of
/ the island was it permanent, and
what, in the judgement of the COM
mission, should be done 10 guard
against its importation into the
United States. Before starting for
/ Havana, the commission was or
/ ganized by selecting DIR. Chaille as
president and DIR. Sternberg as sec
rotary, and upon reaching Cuba,
the commission was divided into
/ two bodies, with Drs. Chaille and
! Sternberg as their respective heads,
each body being charged with IA
specific line of inquiry, bearing upon
the general subject of investigation.
DIR. Chaille informed the Times
correspondent that the commission
discovered, beyond all controversy,
that yellow fever permanently
dwelIs in Cuba, and that hospital
and other statistics in possession OF
the commission show that during
the period embraced between 1856
and the present time scarcely a
month has passed without deaths
from yellow fever occurring on the
island.

a New Cure For the Yellow Fever.
London World.

DR.. Declat, a French physician,
better known as the heir to the once
famous Duke of GramOnt- Cader-
9usse than I'm the capacity of a prac-
titiOner, asjust completed by proxy
at Senegal, experiments on the treat
ment of yellow fever, with appar-
emily very satisfactory results. DIR.
Declat has been led to infer, theOret-
ically, from the symptoms of the
disease that picnic acid might be
used in such cases with some proba-
bility of success, as a prOphylactic
as well as remedy.
Some months ago he forwarded a
dozen bottles of the compound to q
missionary, with practical instruc-
tons as to its use, and the request
of a report on the facts. The mis-
siOnaFy, who seems to be clever,
enlightened man, with some knOwl-
edge of medicine, and considerable
experience with yellow fever, now
writes that not only did he actually
rescue from imminent death, by
dint of the remedy, several natives
who were writing under the pangs
of the disease, but that he himself
owes his life to its use. This, indeed,
if confirmed on large scale, would
prove a boon to America and the
west coast of Africa.

THE following compliment to the
Rev. L. J. Duncan is taken from
the Pulaski Citszen of Oct. 80. His
many friends here will read it with
pleasure:
Before leaving Pulaski on Tues
day last with his family, Rev. 7. J..
Duncan, the late beloved pastor of
the Methodist Church, was the re-
cipient of several handsome teSti-
mouials from the members of his
Church. An elegant suit of clothes,
a handsome silver castor, q silver
bowl, etc. The so forth we under.
stand to mean bank check for a
snug sum of money. These were
but the spontaneous expression of
the affectionate esteem in which he
was held here In Pulaski. The pres
ents were procured and presented
by the ladies of his Church. The
check was the present, we learn, of
a wealthy and accomplished lady
friend. The prayers and kindly
wishes OF hosts of friends follow
him 10 he new field of labor.
