"We deeply sympathize with Houston

Swearingen, the state health officer, has
deemed the case Of sufficient Importance

county physician have treated us with
the utmost courtesy and frankness, and

He Considers the Case of Such Char

uouston Tex. Sept. 27.-(Special)-
Dr Swearingen. state health officer, in
sited upon the fact that the negress. Eva
Duncans, whose case was declared last
night by the board of health of the city
TO not resemble in any manner or feature
yellow fever, being isoated. He would
not say it was yellow fever, but thought
1t might ripen into case OF thar disease,
and considering the responsibility resting
upon him, it would be well to let the COM
munity know it, or rather to isolate ana
zoe If the community would find 1t out.
Doctors Stuart and Urwitz, the two OLDEST
and most experienced members OF the
hoard adhered to the report, that 1t did not
resemble yellow fever in tine least. Ut.

and who had not seen the case, did not

of Or. Swearingen as state health ON.
GER DIR. Harrison of Columbus agreed
with the older members Of the board OF
health that it was not yellow fever nor
resesmbled it. Today the patient is about
the same, but the people, on. account Of
the dispute between the doctors, are
much worked up over it. The fact that
the Beaumont case has proven itself not
to have been yellow fever has knocked
out the cry that this woman caught the
fever from the black jaundice.
