The medical opinion of the city is to
the effect that the backbone of the
dengue fever epidemic is broken. Tt
seems that this speedy termination is
due, in large measure, to the cooler
weather that has prevailed during the
last few days, but it is also, no doubt,
a fact that with those who had the dis
ease it has run it's course and that the
infection has nearly worn itself out.
GAS I prophesied," said DR.. Galbraith
last night, 1.-The dengue is decreasing
fast, owing to the cooler weather. I
knew this would be the case, when the
temperature fell few days ago. There
may be a slight increase noted if the
weather should suddenly get very hot,
but for the present the fever is decided
ly on the Decline
II can only speak from my own prac-
tice," said DR.. Garvin, but in that I
have observed a decided falling off in |
calls to attend patients suffering from |
dengue within the past couple Of days.
From my practice, I should say that |
we have almost certainly reached the
end of the epidemic. There are no
more cases, and those who are down
with it are getting better"
Yes; it is safe to say that the dengue
epidemic is at an end" said Dr.. Nc
Donald, bacteriologist of the Board of
Health. 1--WE do not have nearly so
many calls as we did two days ago. In
fact, do not know of any new cases,
and those who are down with the fever
are beginning to get about. On the
whole it has been a mild visitation.
None of the cases have been severe,
and there has not been a single death
THE dengue is on the wane," was
The verdict of DR.. Herbert. There
ire few new cases coming in, and those
who have been sick are all doing well,
many having entirely recovered"
The only physician seen yesterday
who did not think the fever was on
he decrease was Dr.. Mays, and he
'eported that the later cases he had
we're from the low lying parts of the
,ity.
Most of the leading people who were
lown with dengue when the epidemic t
vas at it's worst are up and about, and :
rom the bedsides of those still SICK

Also, it is place to which the strang-
r can be taken to show him what is =
ossible in the way of rustic beauty in
land where all things grow out OF
oors. and then the tram ride to Wal
Xxi. minus the old mules, will be an
experience that will give better idea h
f the city and its surroundings, per-
aps, than can be had in any other
ossibIe way Likewise. it will be an
xperience that will not be costly. Your v
,urist may belong to the class of car T
lage people at home. 1t does not fol-
wv that he likes to pay for carriages o
hen abroad. He will pay for them V
he can get about in no other way r
ut he carries home with him more
leasant memories of those places that L
ave been made cheaply accessible. T
or that is human nature, and the
,urist is as human as the balance of
ankind. 1;
