caution on the part of those cities may |
not be understood. The quarantine |
against Atlanta is not established be- |
cause the authorities of the quarantining |
cities fear that there is yellow-fever in |
Atlanta. or because they believe the |
climatic conditions of this city are such |
as would be likely 30 endanger the health |
of the city by receiving, straight from |
infected sources. those fleeing from the |
yellow-fever. The fact is, that the cities |
ouarantining against Atlanta do So fear |
