THE WEATHER.
The weather is still cool, but the wind
blows strongly from the south, prevent
ing frost. The penetrating wind having
a strong effect on the people out doors,
causes many to think that it is colder
than the thermometer shows.
The fever has been checked, however,
and, while danger is by no means over,
few will now be stricken. The greatest
care is being exercised with the sick, and
the low death rate of this epidemic is a
monument to the skill of Surgeon Murray
and his co-workers, both physicians and
nurses. Now that the greatest strain is
of the peoples minds the relaxation
is beginning to tell. Among those who
show its effects, in a marked degree, is
DR. John A. DunwOdy, local physician,
whose features show the hard work he
has done.
On St Simons Island DIR. H. NJ Bran
ham Is doing three mems work He has
over 500 people to look after and great
deal of sickness, including yellow fever,
dIphtheria and other minor illnesses, have
been under his care.
RAISING OF THE QUARANTINE.
Surgeon Murray is considering the
advisability of taking off the Gordon
around Brunswick, soon. 1t is one of
the many sensible things that suggest
themselves to his mind and are acted upon.
1t must not be considered as an indis-
crlmlnate invitation to the people around
Brunswick to rush into their homes with
out due preparation and precautions
Houses must be cleaned, fumigated and
generally disinfected. Premises should
be cleaned and lime freely scattered about
foul places. Surgeon Murray desires this
He is full of sympathy for BrunSwiclS's
people and appreciates the general desire
to get into the better quarters of home
life; but he does not intend that a second
outbreak Of the fever shall be caused by
any idea of false security. Surgeon Muir
ray IS as anxious to have the people safely
back in their homes as they are to get
back, but he knows the dangers of an i'm
prudent rush. Those out should not bring
their families back until frost. All here
realize how anxious Brunswick people are
to get back home. but it is better to stay
away few days longer than to incur the
risk of such a second outbreak as was pre-
cipitated here in 1876. On this line Sur
geUn General Wymau to-day wired Sur
geon Murray these words: 1T is a great
mistake for people to return to Brunswick
now. Enforce prohibition to the extent
OF your ability. Secure cooperation of
the local authorities"
