believed that inspection stations for steam
boats should be established on the Mississippi
at New Orleans, Vicksburg, just below Mem
phis and at Cairo, at which all boats should
be examined by competent inspectors and

board that if, during the present winter, at
all points where the fever has prevailed dur
ing the past summer, care be taken to obtain
| thorough ventilation and exposure to cold OF
all houses and inclosed spaces, and all bed
ding, clothing, etc, and If local sanitation be
vigorously and properly carried out, there
will be little danger Of epidemic yellow fever
next summer from the causes now existing in
the country.
