Medical Experts Needed

Never before was there a more marked
instance of the necessity of specialists
in the medical profession than the re-
cent vacillating and uncertain efforts of
the doctors of everyday practice ito d.
agnose cases i'm the recent smallpox out
break in Birmingham and those in Mont
gomery and other places now known to
be yellow fever.
It is comfort to know that Birming-
ham has one physician who is truly an
expert in his line of practice. He is
DR.. o. T. Dozier, of the Southern Medi-
cal D.spensary. Whenever a patient Is
brought to him he does not need the aid
of any imported government specialist
ITO help him diagnose the case, and tell
him how to cure the disease. He is an
expert in the treatment of all chronic,
nervous. blood. skin and genito-urinary
diseases.

NO MODIFICATION IN RULES.
Gov Johnston Will Not Change Quarantine
Regulations For Montgomery.

Repeated efforts were made by wire
yesterday to induce Governor Johnston
to modify the quarantine regulations.
DIR. Sanders, state health officer, wired
to the governor from Montgomery:
1.-THE state board of health unanimous
ly recommend that your proclamation
be so construed as to permit such per-
sons from infected places within the
state to go into unaffected places avs
THE local authorities thereof are willing
to receive. The recommendation is
based upon the early approach of frost
and the fact that 1900 refugees are in
Atlanta and only one developed case OF
yellow fever. This is, we Think, a fair
construction of your proclamation"
The governor also received telegram
from a prominent railroad official urging
the same course. He called in counsel
several local physicians with DR.. Sholl,
and after consultation replied as fol-
lows:
Birmingham, Oct. 10.
"The proclamation expressly prohibits
persons from any infected place going
into any other place within the terri
tory of the state. have advised with
DIR. ShoH of the state dls alth board and
other physicians here and they are unan-
imously of the opinion that I should not
modify the proclamation forbidding per-
sons from infected places going into any
part of the state. Admission might be
willing to receive and Oxford protest.
To permit it and then protect other
places objecting would require an army
of officers.
The present regulations have been in
force against Mobile for nearly two
months with the approval of the state
health board and without protest. 1 A.
gret exceedingly the hardship on tire
people of Montgomery but the fifteen
hundred thousand other people in the
state must be considered. Tickets must
not be sold from any infected place to
any uninfected point in the state.

DR. SANDERS IS CRITICISED
The Quarantine Being Rigidly
Enforced.
NO DANGER OF FEVER HERE
An Effort to Have the Governor Modify the
Quarantine Regulations Unsuccessful.
He Consulted the Physicians.

If State Health Officer Sanders had
been in Birmingham yesterday he would
have heard some very unpleasant criti-
cism in regard to his action.
ut is very strange that 1t took so long
to diagnose a case of yellow fever" said
one. And so the talk continued.
The people of Birmingham are not I'M
duly excited, and none are heard to ex-
press any fear except those who have
relatives In the Capital City.
The quarantine regulations are be-
ing strictly enforced and no one from
Montgomery is allowed to stop in the
state.
The refugee train now stops at Mont
gomery, and it runs through Birming-
ham at high rate Of speed. The other
passenger trains on the Louisville and
Nashville make this the Southern ter
minal point.
Quarantine officer Virgins received
a telegram from Chief Officer Amerine
that there were no new cases of yellow
fever in Montgomery. The official re-
port did not verify this.
There is no danger of yellow fever
in Birmingham if proper precautions
are observed This is the verdict of doc
tors and citizens.
