A communication from John N. Webb of
Birmingham Ala, in regard to his cleo
trical theory for stamping out yellow fever
was read, and Chairman McMurray was
asked to ascertain and report what the
board of health has done i'll the matter
Mr.. McMur ay said he knew of several in
stances where it was nearly impossible to
secure the services of competent physicians,
nurses and druggists, and he offered the
following resolution:
ResoIved, That it is the sense of this commit
tee that it is time to avail ourselves of the serv-
ices of the responsible and experienced physi-
eians, nurses and druggists who have offered
their services. and inasmuch as we understand
that there is difficulty in obtaining such help.
CROWDS OF OILERS.
The following was offered by Mr.. Schu-
macher:
Resolved, That it is the sense OF the commit
tee that the good health of the city is endan-
gered by the presence of crowds of idle men on
Bay and other streets, and the board of health
Is requested, in cooperation with the city aIi-
thoIitles. TO take the necessary action to remedy
the matter
The following was received from Con
gresham Charles Doug herty:
Senator Call and myself teegraphed you this
morning. and so did Surgeon General Ham
ton. The resolution did not reach me
until 5 O'Clock last night. Surgeon
Geueral Hamilton says that he does
not know nlnen hut MusDi1N n which
has offered to receive refugees. and he is going
to Atlanta to see about that matter. He says
that where places agree to receive them ways
and means will be provided to get
them out, etc. ! think that you will find that
matters will be more satisfactorily now. He
says that be is advised that if the people did
get outside of Jacksonville the local boards of
health around the country would stop them and
that when they do leave, it is absolutely nee
esSary that they go to some place where the
fever will not spread. OF all this, however you
have probably been officially advised He
seems to think that while Atlanta is ostensibly
open, ii the people were sent there by the car
load for ten days bsfore going further that
then that place, too, would begin to quarantine
That is one thing he goes to see about You all
have my sympathy, and while am much dis
c0ulaged, l nope IL will be soon over. II /
thought could do any good would be with
you, and If it is thought can be of service let
me know.

the matter was finally referred to t execu-
tive committee
DR.. Stout spoke of the desirability of
having proper nourishment, in the way of
