THE FIGHT AGAINST YELLOW

In the course Of ten or twenty years, OF
by the time the next generation comes on
the stage, says southern exchange, yel
low fever will be thing Of the past in the
south.
Prom the earliest settlement of this
country down to the present time the fight
against Yellow Jack has been continu'
Gus struggle. At first the odds seemed to
be overwhelmingly against Us, but men
will display almost superhuman energy
and ingenuity when they are fighting for
life. Slowly but surely the yellow fever
belt has been narrowed, until it is now 8
mere ribbon on the southern edge Of oul
map.
Before the revolution the scourge stretch
ed its course as far northwsrd as Canada
The Canadians saw that they could not ex,
list with such q foe at their doors, and they
went to work to drive il southwark. They
resorted to such crude sanitary and quar-
antine measures M were then sanctioned
by medical scientists, and the result was
that the fever soon paused at Boston when
il made it's periodical trips mp the Atlantic
coast. The Bostonians followed the ex-
ample of the Canadians, and their ener-
getic precautions barred out the pest. New
York was less active in the matter, and 1t
suffered 50 often and so seriously that
JOHN RANDOLPH felt justifed.in saying
in Congress that if New York became 3
manufacturing city she would have yellow
fever from January to July, and from July
. to January again.
But RANDOLPH was mistaken. The New
Workers saw that something had TO be
done or their city would 90 TO the dogs.
They kept their streets clean, constructed
good sewers, secured pure water supply,
and established good quarantine system.
The fever was forced southwark to be
driven from PhiladelphiA and other
southern points, until it was confined to
IDS present territory.
All this has been done within about
hundred and fifty years. There Is no rea-
son why the fight should not 90 on When
