OF yellow fever under treatment on Jekyl
Island. Only five as far as correspond
ent knows have to date been reported to
the health board. Surgeon FACET is at
tending them Several that are now be-
ing treated were Dr. Hugh Burford's pa
tients. Something has caused difficulty
IN getting the names and location of these
patients. Without regard to the effect it
will have on any ones property, the cor
respondent feels justified IN reporting
every case he authoritatively learns ex-
lists without considering the localities
thus affected. There are now eighty-two
cases under treatment, discharged forty
two, died fourteen, total 13S. Ratio Of
deaths 101.

Wet weather continues and an increase
from 90 to 100 cases at one time can ba
daily expected The force Of
physicians is now badly over
worked. Surgeon Murray has
not slept except on car seats on special
trains in four days and nights. Surgeon
FACET and and all the local physicians
are undergoing a terrible physical and
mental strain, but they do not complain.

tonight from Belle Vista, Gardi and Jesup
on the East Tennessee, Belle Vista has
only malarial fever. At Gardi, two
children of Mrs Lanes are i'll, but the
diagnosis has not been completed and the
disease is not yet named.
Jesup has six new cases--L. Ogden and
wife, Mrs. Frank Rowland, Miss B. Gray,
Miss Taylor and an infant of Mr.. Warren,
who died last week. Mr. Warren was re-
lated to Mrs. Lane of Gardi, and slept at
her house one night, presumably while
the fever was on him. Jesup has had
yellow fever in her midst for three
weeks past Two men named Row.
land and Cole were sick with the
disease there three weeks ago tomorrow,
according to Surgeon Murray's investl-
CATION. They did not know the nature Of
their illness and no physician attended
them. Both recovered. Three deaths
besides Mr.. Warren's occurred
there during Septembr, but none of the
other three had yellow fever. No trains are
allowed to stop there and all goods and
passengers for that point are stopped at
Doctortown, five miles above. Surgeon

around Jesup similar to that around
Brunswick. He has arranged for o
special train to carry him daily from
Brunswick to Camp Detention back to
Dock Junction, thence to Jesup and all in
termediate points and back to Brunswick.

to abandon all daily practice in Bruns-
wick. He says this section is permeated
with yellow and only the strictest quar-
antine will prevent its march.
