Thirty Nine Cases Are Now Under Treat

BRUNSWICK, GA. Sept. 2S.-Eight
new yellow-fever cases developed to-day.
The small number Of cases reported Is
probably due to the absence Of some Of
the physicians who were attending dis
tant sick calls and were therefore I'M
able to make a report to-day.
The new white patients are: Mrs. George
W. Cowman, w. E. Dempster. c. A.
Steiner. The new colored patients are:
Mary Lamar and Isaac Lamar. Hattie
Brows, Lou Oliver, Lizzie Robinson.
one patient was discharged, Alice Kelly.
who was reported yesterday. Thirty
nine cases are now under treatment. a
recapituiation follows: Cases under treat
ment. 80, discharged, y; died, .. Total,
80. Death rate, I2.S per cent
1t Is safe TO say that there are between
ten and twenty cases not yet reported.
The reason for this is that among the
colored population Drs. Blair and West
are kept constantly at work by Surgeon
Murray hunting for cases. Their latest
reports, which are made nightly, solely
to DR.. Murray, contain about fifty names,
classed as malarial and suspicious eases.
Surgeons Murray and FACET commence
early each morning, and with fast teams,
drive TO each patient on the lists given
them and decide on any change made
in any cases since last visited. II any
have developed into yellow-feyer on these
lists Surgeons Murray and FACET report
them personally, the same as local ply
sicians. BY this system Surgeon Muir
ray gets the benefit of time that would
be consumed by Drs. Blair and West
reporting to the board. Both surgeons
being unable 10 attend the meeting to-
day probably accounts for the decrease
IN the number OF cases.

There is a careful system Of sitting IN
