SURGEON PORTER'S CLOSING PARAGRAPH.
In closing his long address to the people
on the SUBJECT of disinfection, Surgeon
Porter says:
Forewarned is forearmed, and l trust that
my language has been sufficiently plain. so that
even he who runs may read and understand.
As for the recurrence of fever next
year, can promise nothing. For me to
presume to say that there will be
no yellow fever in Jacksonville would be an
absured statement. But what | do say is that
the chances for its recurrence from causes
within will be lessened Just in proportion as the
work OF disintection is made efficient and
thorough. The United States government will
provide financial means to properly accomplish
the work, but the citizens individually and col
lectlvely must give them moral support.
