Comparison Of Deaths
IN 1878 and 1905.

About as encouraging a feature o
the yellow fever situation as we have
seen may be found in the comparison
OF the present New Orleans death
rate with the death rate IN that city
during the epidemic Of 1873. The
New Orleans Picayune makes that
comparison as follows:
September has dong been reck0ned
the most fatal month when a vista
ton Of yellow fever was affecting this
CITY and it has heretofore aIway
proved to De So En past epidemics.
nCt only did September give the larg-
est number of deaths. but il gave the
highest record OF mortality in a single
CAY.
Tor instance. in 1873 the greatest
mortality happened ca Sept. 3. when 81
deaths occurred while the tOta
deaths from yellow fever during u
month showed 1883, an average Of
over 63 for each day. In this vista
ton OF 1905 the greatest number OF
deaths reported was on Aug. 20, when
a total Of 10 was recorded. Onethirl

on yesterday, the nth, no death from

Some more proof Of the mosquito

quito is applied at least twelve days

The disease VIII manifest itself in
about FIVE days after the bite.
Seventeen days. therefore, appears
to be the period, roughly stated, be-
tween the first case and the second
case, called the secondary infection.
In Pensacola the first cases were
discovered about August % and a.
A mosquito having access to these
cases within three DAYS from the be-
ginning Of their illness gets infection
from them and twelve days later is
ripe for imparting the Infection to
human beings. August 1926 en-
braced the three-day period. Add u
days and we have an inside limit Of
September 5 and extreme Of Septem-
Der s. On or about these dates the
mosquitoes carrying secondary infec-
ton should be biting the well, and
two to five days thereafter there
should be a marked increase in the
number Of cases. Therefore a large
increase in cases was to be looked for
from September z to Sept ember 10;
and the record shows that the looked
for increase has taken place. From
now on, however, there should be a
decrease, because Is soon as the fever
was discovered the screening Of the
sick began, and this has been per-
sisted in. Few Of the stegomyia ere
getting new Infection. consequently
there is q lessening Of the number Of
active agents for the spreading Of the
disease.
The task before DR.. Porter and his
assistants is a heavy one. but cOndi-
lions in Pensacola are more favorable
than those in New Orleans, and as
good, if not better results should be
obtained In Pensacola. We advise that
the people OF Pensacola be not dis
couraged. They have probably expe-
rienced the worst Of the present WISH
