THE FRENZY OF FEVER PATIENTS.
Some idea of the hardships he is COM
PEELED to bear may be gained from the fol-
lowing instances, related by Quarantine
Commissioner Oakley who has Just re-
turned from q tour of inspection. There
are also illustrations of the terrible suffer-
ing Of the fever patients and their frenzy.
DR.. Oakley says: During my visit | F.
Reith, barber of the steamer Saratoga, be-
gan complaining of dreadful burning in
the stomach, the first symptom of black
vomit. Soon afterward he was seized with
deirium, and in his frenzy sprang up in
bed and seizing the long side-whiskers of
William, the Hospital Steward and nurse,
tore out great handful by the roots. The
patient nurse did not even finch"
HenEessy, the stevedore, who was adj
mitted some days ago from upper quaran
tine, and who has since died of fever, sprang
from his bed in delirum while William
had gone in search Of some medicine, and
seizing steamer chair broke it into splint-
ers with one crash upon the floor.

Cincinnati.
terday. A three e-months-old child of Mrs
Purcell of Memphis, showed every symp-
tom of yellow fever, and was taken to
Sister Anthorys Hospital for treatment.
Sister Anthony has notified DR.. Minor that
she will receive no more yellow fever
patients after to-day noon. Now the ques-
ton arises: What is to be done with those
coming to our city afflicted with the dis
ease? The Cincinnati Hospital will not
receive them-not even at the Lick Run
branch Sister Anthony has closed the
doors OF her institution against them, and
there is no other place where they can be
taken.
DR.. Minor favors the building Of hospi-
tai at cost of say $1,000 or $4,000, and to-
morrow he will lay a proposition to that
effect before the Board OF Police Commits
sion, who have control of the Health De-
partment. If the Police Commission re-
fuse to take action on DR.. Minors ssuggcs-
ton, then the yellow fever patients will
have to be nursed wherever they are dis
covered, to the great danger to the lives of
those surrounding.
The bark Wallace has been ordered from
upper port, Brooklyn, to |
quarantine. There are three yellow fever
patients at Swinburn Island Hospital.
MIR. Nash, OF Memphis who was taken to
the Good Samaritan Hospital day before
suffering with the yellow fever |
is doing very well. This morning his little |
eight-ycar-old daughter, who is at the Mad
son House, was prostrated with an illness |
very much resembling the dreadful disease.
The hospital officials having barred out |
al yellow fever patients, the girl will have
10 remain where she is.
