DIR. DAVIS DISPLACED.
lie Would Report Yellow Fever Cases rs
Mslsria-Deaths and New Cases.


BRUNSWICK, GA, Oct. 1O.-The Health
Board to-day appointed another physician
TO take charge Of DR.. L. b. Davis pa
tients. This action was deemed necessary
by the Board from the fact that Or. Da-
Wis patients, being reported as sick with
malarial fever, could not justly be given
nurses. Instances were testified to by
the Health Board Committee and Sur
geon FACET where some OF DR.. Davis
patients had died Of typical cases Of yell
low fever, while he persisted that they
had only malarial. The interests of the
sick demand that the Health Board act
as they did. DR.. Davis has not regularly
practised until this epidemic for many
years past. He d.d valuable service in
the Brunswick epidemic of 1876 and for
that reason he was employed by Surgeon
Murray at the suggestion of the Health
Board when this epidemic began. Surgeon
Murray tonight reports three new cases
at Jesup. Or. Samuels, John Gray and
a child Of Mr.. SOuthwells; and one dis
charged, Mrs. Rowland. Seven cases are
now under treatment at Jesup.
Surgeon Murray officially says he Is
morally certain that the O'Brien refugee
picked up at Ossabaw by the revenue
cutter Boutelle, left Brunswick over a
month ago.
