the following statement:
Ihavc reported 10 Surgeon General Wyman
and communicated to Health Onicer Fisher,
County Physician Wartied and Acting Mayor
Skinner that there are FIVE cases Of yellow
fever here and three cases that have recovered
from the disease. There Is no doubt In my
mind az TO the correctness OF the diagnosis l
have been very careful, and have made no
statement "a TO any case without close person.
al examination The cases are shattered, and
seem to have no connection They appear TO
have developed In o quite confusing way, and
are mixed with dengue fever There Is one at
the Sealy hospital ! have reported two at St
Mary's infrmary, but find that In one at the
inhrmary | was mistaken. ! misunderstood
the statement OF the attending physicians az TO
the presence OF albumen in the urine. Finding
there Is no albumeI, uttered my diagnosis In
that case The other case II the inhrmary Is
distinctly yellow fever.
