YELLOW FgVER SITUA rTov.

The yellow fever situation can
properly be regarded as serious,
and, only the utmost vigilance on
the part of the health authorities
of the different parishes, or the
timely appearance of that icy. imam
nered gentleman, Jack Frost, can
keep the disease from taking root
in the rural districts of Louisiana.
Probably the worst news re-
ceived this week was from st.
Mary. One case of yellow fever
has developed near Patterson.
Mr.. Clarence Berwick, who lives
about three miles from Patterson,
was the first case officially pro-
monneed yellow fever. Young
Berwick's mother returned from
Ocean Springs about two months
ago. Several weeks ago she was
taken sick, but no physician was
called in, ana if she had yellow
fever it was a very mild type for
she soon recovered. A few days
ago Mrs. Young's SOU, Clarence.
became very i'll, and his attending
physicians notified the4 health
officer of st. Mary, Chat the young
man had yellow fever.
If this case can be traced to
Ocean Springs, the fever. germs
must have been carried in Mrs,
Young's trunk, for they certainly
could not have remained in her
system for two months.
The experience Of unfortunate
st. Mary, opens u eyes to a new
danger, that we have not been
altogether prepared for. There is
possibly not a parish in the State
that did not furnish summer visi-
tors to Ocean Springs. 1t may be
that there are many other besides
Mrs. Young, who innOcently
brought home the deadly germ of
yellow fever, in their trunks or
valises. If such should be the
case, we caunot tell where the
lightning will next fall.
