Or. Butts called attention to men get
ting drunk at the meeting to-day, laying
themselves liable to infection, and Chief
Beach was instructed to lock up all
drunken men.
ALL THE AUTHORITIES ALERT.
DR.. Butts is working hard to relieve the
sickness, and watches and stops all
chances of infection in his power The
mortality here is exceedingly light and
the cases mild. While the epidemic will
spread until its food is exhausted, the
mortality is expected to be but little
Drs Murray, Geddings, FACET, DeSaus-
sure and all the local physicians say the
signs are favorable, and when they get
the nurses organized they expect to handle
the epidemic without much death. DR..
Murray says he would like for any young
physicians under 25, who have never had
the fever, to come down and catch it, so
they will be Injured and ready for serv-
ice anywhere when needed. DIR. Murray
says if any come he will cure them quick
ly He treats yellow fever lightly, and
says this is not near as hard to handle as
other less dreaded diseases.
AGAINST VOLUNTEER NURSES.
The general opinion of the surgeons is
against volunteer nurses. They can get
all they want from regular bureaus, and
need no volunteers. No clothing will be
allowed to leave Brunswick without
fumigation, and car has been arranged
for that purpose by Surgeon Geddings.
The census of the city has been nearly
completed and arrangements perfected to
handle the epidemic without much
trouble. Surgeon Murray is strict dis
ciplinarian and is doing splendid work.
CAUGHT THE DISEASE ELSEWHERE.
In the case reported to-day of child
in the home of patient already sick, the
child contracted it by being around an
other.
Col Goodyear's board of health, when
told of the intense dissatisfaction over
their Withholding the names, said those
who were dissatisfied could come back to
Brunswick if they liked and help care for
them; that they were acting for what
they thought best, and would continue
without regard to outside criticism.
Arranging FOR WATER QUARANTINE.
Surgeon Murray is out now arranging
for water quarantine and will have it
completed tomorrow. All street cars
stopped running to-day and the stock was
carried to the country. The end is near
ing for business. They have held out but
are giving under, and soon every store ex-
cept drug stores will have to close A
few declare they will remain open and,
if necessary, get tmmunes to attend
them.
DR.. MURRAY's CERTIFICATES.
Surgeon Murray is working to secure
the release of immuned persons after one
days detention at Camp Hutton, and all
persons after ten days, viii be allowed to
leave the camp for any point. He has
wired Surgeon General Wyman to order
all southern states to honor his health
certificates. l had long interview with
Surgeon Murray late tonight. He says
he understands Savannah, ThomasviIle,
Macon and some other places have threat
ened to ignore his certificates of deten-
tion, and he had wired for authority to
compel all southern cities to honor them.
He says Florida will honor them.
MOST CASES CoNvALEsCENT.
He wired tonight that no case under
treatment was considered critical, most
of cases reported yesterday were conva-
lescent and physicians had nothing to do.
This is authentic. He has wired that
when his river and harbor guard is COM
pleted there will be no need for guarding
by other towns and states. He says that
he will cure ninety-two out of every hun
dred who get sick if they will obey his
instructions, but he does not need any
outside nurses yet. He says the census
of the town, is nearly completed, shows
much destituJion, and help is needed.
NO BELLS TO BE RUNG.
He says if any more get sick or die no
kilograms of coincidence will be given
them, and that in the event of death and
any one attempts to ring church bell at
the funeral services he will cut the bell
rope, if necessary to stop it. He cautions
people to remain here and attend to bust
ness, and not rush to camp. He says cool
nights at camp will cause more sickness
and deaths than the fever will here,
