exceptional. 1t was 7 o'clock tonight before
a third as many deaths were reported to-

Professor Metz said that this evening I'D
to dark there had been 7i9 cases altogether
of yellow fever and 423 foci Of Infection
Since the beginning OF the sickness 1913
Iccl nave Deen absolutely wiped out and
there remained this evening but 2GO with
approximately $50 cases under treatment.
The figures, the doctor said were crafty
ing, owing to the fact that they showed
that good work had been done through the
sanitary methods and in disinfecting places
that, II left alone. might have helped to
breed the epidemic.
AS reported in previous dispatches, res
idents in the vicinity have protested
against the reception by Touro infirmary
OF patients suffering from yellow fever.
Rabbi Levitch and DR.. Loeber, however.
contend that there is no danger in re-
ceiving the patients in the hospital, and
they will continue to do so. During the
month twenty-nime cases have been treat
ed in the hospital. Five have died four
have been discharged and twenty are still
being cared for. Yet not single case OF
the fever has originated in the institution,
and the system OF isolation and disin-
fecticn is so perfect that the disease has
been confined to a single quarter OF The
building devoted for the handling OF cases
of yellow fever. Sixteen of the cases have
been treated by the hospital free OF
charge.
