CHINESE AvoID YELLOW FEVER
The Opium Pipe Kills. the Germs

New York snn.


The SUMS Chinese reporter yester
day asked Or. Yong Tsye Hing of 8
Pell street about his experience with
yellow fever in China. .'In Kwong
Tung Foo Kien, and kwong ST." he
said, there were few cases of yellow
fever several years ago. The fever
was called by the natives "wun bur y
Ii never became epidemic. owing TO
the peoples habit of~sinoking opium. .
Does the smoking of opium pre-
vent or cure yellow fever?n
--Tertainly it does. Wherever
opium is smoked it destroys yellow
fever?'
But is not the opium smoking
habit as dangerous as the fever. ?r
No; 1t takes at least a year of con-
slant smoking TO acquire the habit. as
all old opium smokers will testify.
There might be yellow fever all over
the United States, but the Chinese
opium smokers would not be affected. +"
DR.. Ii Shi Leon OF 10 Mott, said /:
why, certainly opium smoking cures
yellow fever / had two cousins in
Memphis during that terrible yellow
fever scourge in 1875. who simply
smoked their pipes the moment they
had caught the fever, and got well in
less than 20 hours No, there is no
danger OF getting the opium habit II
the patient does not smoke longer than
six months; but, then, it is a hard
thing to learn how to use the pipe"

not know where this boy got to- Per-
haps he went down TO Memphis, an d
wken he got there it did not take him
more than five years before he got
through with all his money. And he
was a good fellow all the time, smok-
