says in his interview with THE ArpEAL
that
Immediately after the close OF an epidemic !

which yellow fever had prevailed before their re-
newed occupancy by returning refugees or other
persons; but after the subsistence Of an epidemic

close OF the epidemic, hold all distinction 10 DO

fever Is concerned
And yet the Doctor insists that locality
injected by yellow fever remains infected
after the patient has been removed-ro-
mains infected for weeks. and even
months" This admitted II is only ra-
tional TO conclude that the work OF disin-
fecting should be carried on as long as
there is a probability Of the infection
lasting. Again, the Doctor says that for
himself he believes that bedding and
clothing can be disiniected and that it is
possible to disiniect rooms and houses, yet
he refused to lend his countenance to
such distinction in Decatur by the
National quarantine authorities. But
even as 10 the origin Of the epidemic
In this city in 1870 the Doctor is mistaken.
A suspected case OF yellow fever occurred
in April Of that year-the janitress OF the
Linden Street School-who died with all
the symptoms OF yellow fever, induced by
the Information OF the germs in the privy
vault Of the school-house, which had been
the receptacle for dejecia during the epi-
demic OF 1878. John Butler also died OF

attests it can remain for months.
DIR. COCHRANE A BLIND GUIDE.
DR.. Jerome Cochrane, State Health Of
fcer OF Alabama, in paper read by him
before the American Public Health AS
ISOLATION at its last meeting, held in Mil
yankee in November, declared yellow
fever to be infectious and that 1t is trans
portable from place to place by infected
persons and by baggage, clothing or bed
ding brought from some infected place and
which had been used by some one who
had the fever. The learned doctor also
declared in this paper that the yellow fever
Seems to take root in the locality--in tho
soil, as II were-and to be contracted from
the environment OF the patient rather than
from the patient himself, and the locality
remains infected after the patient had been
removed-remans infected for weeks and
even months" With this statement OF
his views before them the readers Of The
APPEAL will read with establishment Of
Dr. Cochrane's point blank opposition to
disinfection and the destruction OF tainted
bedding. They will read with astonish-
ment in his letter TO DIR. Plunkett, Presi-
dent of the State Board Of Health, else
where published, that in his estimation
"the greatest folly that has been perpe-
trated in recent years is the wholesale
destruction in Florida OF things assumed
TO be infected and that the disiniec-
ton Of premises, ETC., ut great ex-
pcnse by heat and bichlorido 30
luton" They will read with astonish-
ment after DIR. Cochrane's declaration in
his paper read before the American Pub
lie Health Association that "the locality
remains infected after the patient has been
removed infected for weeks and
even months"-they will read with amaze
ment contradiction OF this in his letter tc
DR.. Plunkeu, written on the 18th Of
January, only three months after ho haC
declared the epidemic at Decatur at M
end that "there is nothing in that place
now tainted with yellow fever infection. y
They will read this assertion with amaze
ment, too, in view OF the statements made
by our special correspondent after careful
personal investigation that some infected
bedding is still in use in Decatur and som,
Of II has been removed, without let o.
hindrance TO Birmingham, Ala, and q
scoitsboro, Ala. Thus judged by his owl
testimony the public will conclude tha
DR.. Cochrane, with all his admitted ability
and experience, Is not a safe guide and
that the Convention OF Sanitarians and
Health Officers, which will meet In Mont
gomery on Tuesday next. would do well TO
act not upon the assertions contained in
his iesiy letter 10 DR.. Plunkott, and which,
as that gentleman says, arc In con-
tradic,ion Of the "opinion Of majority
OF the practical health oilicen Of the
country" and no might have added, ms
