Ia New Orleans contemporary there
recently appeared the following some
of the medical faculty have yet to learn
that the moral treatment ~ the yellow
fever l. vastly more important than the
administration ~ drugs" Al Who have
had experience In that terrible disease
must have recognized the fact that ,he
condition u the minds ~ the patients
weighs heavily for or against recovery.
In one epidemic on shipboarl-about n
hundrcd victims a. the dissaco - the
writer made closo observations on this
point, which satisfied him that ie who
takes yellow fever and kecps up hopa and
courage Is pretty certain 10 recover;
while, on the other hand. be who l. ter.
roriEei and feels hopeless l. quite sure TO
sutfumb to the malady. This influence
u the mind Is well illustrated by two
ca.cs which occurred during that cpd.
dcmic.
one was a corporal 81 marines, the
other the chief engineer. They were men
~ about the same age, and appeared To
bc equally strong and enduring The
chief had a comparatively light attack.
while the corporal had a most severe one.
The former. being ward room officer,
was. of cOur.c. the most fortunate In the
way - quarters and nursing The ham
mock q the latter swung IN the forccas-
lie. lie was stubborn, hard headed
fellow. and absolutely refused 10 take
melicinc at any time during the courFo
u the disease. and Tor several days be
as stouily resisted all food. lie covered
himself up with several blankets. and
insisted that be b. "let entirely alone. "
Occasionally be- would ask a mate for a
cup u water. but beyond that he would
accept nothing In the way of nursing.
lie said he did not want to die. and he
wouldn't. Nor did he.
lie literally fought death and came od
the victor. 81 severe was his attack any
one with les courage and stubborn de-
termination to gct well must have died.
The engineer was terribly frightened
from the fret and gave way Ia desPond.
