HOW MANY

Has Honolulu had Other
Plague Cases.
QUERY FROM ALEXANDRIA
The Quarantine Not Raised There
For Several Months After the
Last Plague Case.

In his letter TO the Honolulu Board
of Health concerning the methods en-
ployed in fighting the plague in
Egypt, the director general of the
sanitary department of Alexandria
had much to say that was not includ-
ed in the article on that subject pub
lished in yesterdays Advertiser. The
article referred to has occasioned such
general interest and so much has been
said by way of comparison between
Honolulu and Alexandria methods tina.
the remainder of the report from
Alexandria is published below.
1t might be well to state here that
Alexandra has sewer system and
that fact may explain the small num-
Der OF cases, and also, possibly, the
Gon-burning Of buildings In that city
That portion of the report not al
ready published in the Advertiser is as
follows:
AS the population of Alexandria is
composed OF many natIonalit.es, the as
sisCants attached to each community as
much as possible were members OF the
same nationality and in this way much
friction was avoided.
l cannot but think that taking into |
consideration the very high mortality
among the cases at Honolulu, many |
others have occurred of which your au-
thorities have not received notification, |
from the experience in India OF the dis
ease amons the Europeans among
whom all cases were reported the dis
ease showed a mortality of 45 to so
per cent; this was also our experience
in AIexandI la.
The disinfection was carried out very
thoroughly at Alexandria; within an
hour after the discovery OF case all
clothing, bedding and furniture such as
carpets, curtains, etc, were removed to
the disinfection station where all were
placed in the stoves and disinfected by
steam under pressure, the gangs for
disinfecting the house with sublimate,
etc, followed on, and after them, the
Iime-washing gangs; when we found
that the disease was hanging about a
particular street or quarter. large gangs
of workmen were put on and systema-
tic cleansing of the whole quarter was
undertaken.
The removal of all old mats, rags

A Strict Watch Kept.

Strict watch was kept In all the towns
throughout the country with a view to
detecting at once any cases OF disease
giving rise TO suspicion. Many such
cases were notified TO the department
but ARCHAEOLOGICAL examination in
variably proved that they were not
cases Of plague.

dria rendered every assistance in their
power to the sanitary officials, the
Greek representative, whose community
furnished the large proportion OF the
cases. especially interested himself in
the measures and was zealously devoted
to furthering the work of the sanitary
authorities.
Damanhour, a town abouIforty miles
to the south OF Alexandria. was the
only other town In Egypt where cases
OF plague occurred. There two cases
were discovered, one in the person OF
the Greek employed in a grocer's store
In the town, the proprietor OF which
had made his purchases from a house
In Alexandria where cases OF plague
had occurred. the other in the person OF
native who was employed as a porter
at the railway station and transferred
all merchandise from the railway
trucks to the stores.

cases existed; but nothing giving rise
to suspicion was found.
1t transpired az er these cases were
announced that there had been a SINH
lar case admitted into the Greek hos
pital in the month OF March, where the
authorities had treated il as an ordin-
airy case Of glandular inflammation; the
boy. a Greek. had recovered and been
discharged. We may assume that this
was case OF plague but further re-
searches supplied no evidence. founded
on any credible authority. which could
warrant the assumption that plague ex-
listed in Alexandria previous TO this
date.
Serum Injections Used.
Under the circumstances it was con-
sidered advisable that the sanitary de-
partment should be in a position to af-
ford persons desiring it theeOpportunity
of being injected with the serum: large
quantities were therefore prepared in
the meteorological laboratories of Cairo
and Alexandria and IL now remains
ready for use should occasion arise
1t is in countries where the disease
has assumed serious proportions, that
is to say when the infection has at
tanned dimensions beyond control of
sanitary measures. that the treatment
by Haffkine's serum VIII have its use
but the idea that it should supplant
practical sanitary measures while the
in. ection is still a limited one is at
once illusory and dangerous.
II it is desired to combat such a dis
ease as plague the measures to be
efficacious. must also be practical: and
any suggestion Of purchasing immunity
from the disease by injecting with
serum the whole population OF town
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1900-04-21

like Alexandria must be considered as
entirely impractical. Fifty medical
men employed solely on this duty would
take some months before they accom-
plished the task provided the operation
were carried out with every technical
precaution.
Whether the disease has been entire
ly eXtinguished in Alexandria IL Is yet
too early to say: IL Ia now nearly three
months since the last typical case
though single suspicious case was re-
ported as recently ~ the 7th instant.
The mortality of the town since June
has been lower than the average OF the
last ten years.
Precautionary Measures.
The precautionary measures have in
no way ceased and the town Is still be-
ing most carefully inspected; lime
washing and cleansing OF dirty quarters
continue; the examination OF the dead
Is carried on with the greatest strict
ness to render certain that no case
which might escape detection during
life is buried without the necessary
precautions being taken. IL is not pro-
posed that any abatement OF these
measures should take place for at least
another two months after which IL may
be possible TO gradually reduce them II
no more cases OF plague arise.
No serious difficulties we're found in
carrying out any OF the measures con-
sidered necessary at Alexandria though
many of them appeared irksome at the
time to the general public who did not
realize the gravity OF the situation
when only one or two cases OF plague
were occurring daily In a city OF some
$50 900 inhabitants. i

Bscilli Long Lived.
| would draw your attention TO fact
which was noted at Alexandria. and
which may very probably account for
the disease hanging about a town for
long periods and that is that In very
mild cases of plague pneumonia, the
sputum though possessing none Of the
characteristics of pneumonia sputum
was found to contain plague bacilli and
to be fatal to Guinea pigs, six weeks
and two months after all symptoms In
the patient had ceased.
The special measures which were
taken 10 combat the plague in Alexan-
dria have been continued in the town
up to the present. and will be so, until
the end of March. as | considered we
could not be sure that we were free of
the disease until at least three or four
months had elapsed from date on which
2 he last case was notified On Noyem-
Der 5th, 1899. the last case OF the dis
ease was notified but a suspicious case
was reported on January Z; since this
last date we have had no cause which
would lead us to suppose that the dis
ease any longer existed in Egypt.
Small Rewards oftred.
4 employed some hundreds of assist
ants whose duty was, under the direc-
ton of the several doctors who WEI e in
charge of the quarters, to visit the
houses, mix with the population as
much as possible and report all cases OF
sickness in the quarter to which they
we're attached BY these means the
lOctors were often called to see cases
)f sickness which proved not to- be
plague but many plague cases were also
discovered by the same means. Any
,Cdy notifying case of plague to the
was rewarded, at first with
reward of five shillings then ten
and finally sixteen shillings
or each case.
