MORE QUARANTINE LITERATURE.
State Health Officer Swearin-
ger, to-day, in letter adj
dressed to the president Of the Board of
Health of Louisiana says that the rules
of the board just adopted, and which he
took exceptions to in his letter of May
n, make no provision for the detention
of the crews of vessels from infected
ports. He says that the proposition
that persons on an infected ship or a
ship leaving an infected atmosphere
are in danger until at least five days af-
ter the thorough disinfection OF said
ship cannot be denied. There ia not q
writer on the subject of yellow fever
who limits the incubation TO less num-
Der of days, and some go beyond i.
The regulations OF the National
Board of Health, the high
est authority in this country or
any other, declare that passengers un-
der observation for yellow fever shall
bo detained Tor at least five days from
the time of last exposure. When a ves-
sci from a port where yellow fever pre-
walls is taken charge of by your quar-.
antine officers, 1t is a postulate that the
vessel is infected. If not, the transfer
OF the cargo to the dislniecting ware
house is useless, extravagant expense
Imposed upon the owner and the invo-
cation OF steam fans to purify her mis-
cradle mummery. If she is infected,
her crew are liable to receive infection
up to the very hour of her publication
and are not liable TO show
any evidences Of it for several DAYS
thereafter. AS shown IN the protest,
your rules require no detention ana
you have publicly asserted that the
new system rendered il unnecessary.
Your sole reliance is IN fumlgation,
steam fans and poison. l freely admit
that your process for applying these
agents is ingenious ana well worth
trial; but the protection offered is not
alone sufficient. Fumigation has been

out they can not render an in

germs Of yellow fever have found
a home. Your poison may be deadly

ter was dispas siOnately, and,I thought,
respectfully, offered. The manner Gifts
reception was a surprise and the cause
much regret; but it will not
divert me from the line of duty as be-
fore indicated. Lot us throw aside in

seek medium that will neither embar-

try nor imperil the lives of the people.
