 When it was proposed to send our army into Cuba to reduce the strong holds of the enemy, many serious prob- lems confronted the war department and the strategy board. Little or no doubt was felt for the ultimate suc- cess of our own men in driving the Spanish out and causing them to sur- render and abandon 8 hopeless strug- gle. The topography of the country was well known to our commanding of- ficers. The one thing that baffled the department was to cope with and sub- due the hidden enemy. For some time no signs of the fever were found, but with the rain and the poor location of the troops this most dreaded disease, one of the most prevalent in the West Indies, made its appearance and start ed in on it's errand of destruction with telling force. Every day since its ad- vent the troops have succumbed to It's effects. Among those who have taken the disease and passed over the great divide" are some of the heroes who

necessary to carry on a successful cam. paign the department in charge of the surgeons and nurses was stocked with medical stores and apparatus to fight sickness, and especially yellow fever.
 Although yellow fever is not in reality . more destructive disease, even In places where 1t is apt to prevail, than some others which are more familiar, 1t is more suggestive of the idea of pesti- lence than almost any existent disease, and the very name strikes terror. It is not necessarily fatal. The disease is not alone known to Cuba and the hot countries south of the United States. Our own southern cities have been rav- aged by it. The percentage of loss of life, too. until recent years in the south was very large.
 When the disease was at its height in New Orleans and Jacksonville a score of years ago, some of the most noted physicians throughout the world yis- ited the plague stricken cities and studied it carefully. The cause and eff feet with new modes of treatment were soon discovered, with the result that 1t was decided the "black frost" was not the only thing that would successfully kill the germs. Since then new methods have been devised for keeping the pest

the Red Cross society. for they, too, are helping to stamp out the disease.
 After the bugler has sounded the sick call through the camp in the morning and an inspection of the troops has been made by the medical officers it is no uncommon sight to see a number of brawny troopers tanned by the tropical sun and dust stained from camp life, being carried from the camp on filters by strong armed men from the army nurse corps to the little white tented city on the hilltop. This is but one of the familiar sights to be met with on the road to and from camp.
 Since the West Indies were discovered yellow fever has been known. The men who came with Columbus were stricken with "an unknown plague" and died on the islands, as did many of the follow CTS of other Spanish explorers and con- querors who in after years visited the place. At intervals during the past four centuries this plague has been master of the situation in southern countries,
The age-herald., 1898-07-31

numbering among its victims many thousands. Methods to destroy it were tried without success until recent years, when scientists studied 1t and found the serum that has been so successful in stamping out the disease in our own country, so that an epidemic in a city of the United States is no longer re- garded as possible. This, however. is due in as great measure to the improved sanitary conditions of the cities and towns where at different periods the fe- yer ragged as to the recent discovery.
 The last of the yellow fever epidemics to visit the United States was that at New Orleans during the latter part of
The age-herald., 1898-07-31

within limited bounds, and drugs and other means have been discovered to successfully cope with the disease until now the scientists feel that they have mastered the plague and can readily mitigate its deadly powers.
 Before the army started for Cuba large quantities of the antiyellow fever serum, as one of the most powerful medicines is called, were manufactured and sent to the front, together with many improved appliances for fumiga- tion. Besides the drugs several of the best known physicians who have made a study of the dreaded disease went with the troops, taking with them a corps of well trained nurses.
 Thus far the disease has been mainly confined to the troops in front of San tiago and in the valleys leading to that city. The other troops will be kept apart from those in whom the fever has been discovered, and with the advances made in medical science and the skill of the trained nurses it is believed the disease
The age-herald., 1898-07-31

has been used by the medical corps to relieve our stricken troops in Cuba.
 The cure is taken from horses which have been treated or inoculated with fever germs. The method used in se- curing the serum is of a scientific na- ture and takes considerable time in reaching the state when 1t is ready for use. In fact, it has taken from one to two years to get the desired results in the animals and the procuring of the material which not only prevents con- tagion, but also cures the afflicted. The serum is injected into the body, as is the virus used to prevent smallpox and other malignant diseases.
The age-herald., 1898-07-31
Il[5IIl[Z[I& Al3l3I]

The animals from which the serum is taken are vaccinated after being dosed with yellow fever virus in quantities several times stronger than is needed to produce death. The effect of the vac- cine is watched, as are the disease germs and the growth or reduction or the fever. The animals are selected and carefully housed. As the work progresses the serum is removed and after being examined under powerful microscopes is prepared for use.
 Until recently most of the serum has been prepared in other countries but now 1t Is largely manufactured in the United States. Several large drug con- cerns have entered into the business or securing this valuable remedy to kill fever, and it is not uncommon on a
 visit to the laboratories to see hun-
 dreds of animals, including horses, steers, rabbits and guinea pigs, care- fully housed for purposes of serum pro- duction and experimentation.
 Dr. Sanarelli the discoverer of the new serum, has experimented largely in the fever stricken districts of South America and has had ample opportuni- ty to test the effect of his remedy on human beings. He has been remarkably successful, as many of the towns which |
 had previously been visited by the scourge and whose population has been greatly depleted will bear witness.
 When the fever attacked San Carlos, Brazil, during the early part of the present year, the medical men of that country were at a loss to devise means to stamp out the disease. Dr. Sanarelli visited the place when the fever was at its height, and while it still turks about the locality new cases are only reported at long intervals, and the death rate has rapidly decreased. The same thing oc- cured at the prisons of Rio Clara, Limeria and other cities in the state ot Sac Paulo Many of the convicts were stricken, and it was feared an epidemic would ensue. Of the 20 cases found among the convicts, several of which were of the most malignant type, only six were fatal. The disease was checked in a short time and ultimately stamped out.

last year. It not only appeared in the Queen City of the Gulf, but found its way up the Mississippi river and along the Ohio, where several cases were found in the smaller towns on their banks. St. Louis was also slightly in- fected, and matters were beginning to take serious turn. The prompt action of the city officials and medical men stamped out the disease before it got strong foothold in the towns along the rivers. New Orleans suffered most The new cases reported each day were in creasing, and the death list gradually rolled up until over 100 persons had succumbed to the fever. It was during this time that the new antiyellow fever serum, discovered by Dr. Giuseppe San arelli, an Italian scientist of some note. was experimented with, and what might have been a plague greater than that of 1878 at New Orleans and some few years later at Jacksonville was averted with loss of comparatively few lives.
 The new serum is known as anti maryl, and it has worked marvels. Since it's discovery other material has been found to act with considerable success In the fever stricken districts of South i America the new medium has proved it's worth, and many of the towns and cities which for years have been visited by the dreaded disease and which have been depleted of large sections of theil population have been freed to a con- siderable extent of it's ravages and made habitable. Dr. Sanarelli has spent several years in the cities of Brazil and the Argentine Republic studying the disease and relieving the infected peo- pie.
 Like the serums recently discovered for use in diphtheria and other malig- nant diseases, this yellow fever pre- ventive has been taken from animals. This new destroyer of yellow jack, which comes at the present time as mama from heaven to the afflicted,

can be kept within limited space and soon stamped out.
 The medical corps has already re- moved the stricken men from the camp proper and placed them in the shade in the dry and cool lands on the hills. Here they are kept in strict quarantine. A close inspection of the troops is made at short intervals, and those of the men suspected of infection are also removed to the quarantine station.
 Upon the hills and back from the camps are placed rows of little white tents, above which fly not only the flag of the nation, but the little yellow em- blem of quarantine and the banner of
