Taken for Yellow Jnck In New Orleans.


Taken for Yellow Jnck In New Orleans.
New ORLEANS, La. Nov. 1.-THE Orleans
Parish Medical Society. which includes prac-
tically all tho leading physicians OF New
Orleans. last night discussed the report
OF certain ARCHAEOLOGICAL examinations made
by members OF the society which go to
prove that the disease prevailing here this
summer and reported by the exports as yellow
fever was not that disease at all. but a purely
malarinl fever. The report will be publish cd
In tho Ne1r orleans Medical Journal II isun-
derstood that tho Parish Medical Society has
not yet taken action in the matter. but will
consider the matter further and carefully be-
fore laying its news before the world. For this
reason II is difficult to get any mem bers TO
speak on tho su bJect for publication, but IL 10
evident that very large proportion of the
doctors here concur In the opinion that the
disease called yellow fever this summer was
not yellow fever.
The ARCHAEOLOGICAL investig cations were made
by DR.. H. A. Neazis. assisted by other phytl-
clans and scientific mon. They showed an
absence OF the Sanarelli germ In tho blood Of
patients and undisputed evidence OF the pros
sncs OF acute malaria. II Is reported that the
medical society will fnally announce that an
Investigation has shown that the disease was
n hemorrhngo malaria fever. Thi. Ia only
held back bv the belief that this will reflect I'M
faVorably on the erperts who pronounced the
disease yellow fever.

OF the mstoors will be visible on this side Of tho

Smoking Before a battle.

Soldiers returning from the war in
Cuba have many stories to tell of the
comfort they took in a pipe Of tobacco.
In too many cases 1t was about all the
comfort they experienced until they
reached home and friends once more.
A story of tobacco on the battlefield Is
told by an officer of British royal horse
guards. who took part in the charge Of
the blues" at Tel-el-Kebir. Egypt.
During a bivouac in the early hours Of
the morning. Just before the engage
ment commenced, orders were issued
against smoking. Some OF the troop
ers. however, dug little holes in the
sand. in which they buried their heads
in order to enjoy a few whiffs Of a
pipe. The order to mount was sud-
denly and softly given. In a minute
the %squadrons were mounted and rid
ing off, and were almost at once en-
gagged with the enemy's ~outposts. The
well-known charge followed, and when
the troop corporal majors came out to
call the roll OF their men one Of them
still had a short pipe between his lips.
The charge had been dashing. and the
soldiers disobedience wae wisely over
looked.
