WELL KNOWN DOCTORS


Discuss the Symptoms Of yellow

rison Of Columbus. arrived in Houston
last night. They were on their way "a
Galveston TO confer with the local ply
sicans with reference to the yellow fever
existing there. They could md no way IA
make the trip and spent the night here.
To a reporter for The Post Or. Harrison
said:
'The diagnosis OF yellow fever depends
not upon any one symptom. There is no
symptom to yellow fever that Is not found
In other forms OF disease. The general
ereemble together with the prevalence OF
an epidemic are the only means which
can give assurance OF the existence Of this
pestilence. unless the re,ent achievement
In chemistry and with the miscroscope
have revealed something not before gen.
orally known.
DR.. Harrison is recognized as one Of the
most conservative physicians In Texas. He
has had experience In several epidemics.
and is quoted extensively among Texas
medical men. While in Houston two weeks
ago he told a reporter for The Post that
to have an epidemic there were four con-
ditions that had to exist They were: An
abundance Of advanced state Of deconposi-
ton, protracted high temperature. germs
of the disease and an abundance Of mois-
ture. This orin!on is based upon science.

ing resolution was adopted:
Be 1t resolved. That no quarantine
shall be declared BY this city against
any OF the infected cities on the Texas
coast and that the inhabitants OF those
cities be invited to make San Antonio
their home during the prevalence OF
the yellow fever. There Is no record
during the past fifty years to show that
yellow fever ever obtained foothold
In this city. although numerous cases
were brought here ak different times.
We now have an opportunity OF prac-
ticing what we preach. that San An
tonic is health resort and not subject
TO yellow fever.
The above invitation has a string to It.
however. In that the county authorities
are maintaining a rigid quarantine against
Galveston and all infected points and no
persons from those places are allowed to
enter the county and are thus debarre1
from accepting the generous invitation Of
the city authorities.
