The yellow fever situation at New

true that the death rate is very small

the number of new cases.

of that city. even after the fever had
attacked eleven people, shows the
danger of its spread to different parts
of the State by people ignorant OF the
fact that fever existed there, and who
were given health certificates tos trav-
Ell on the railroads and go where they
pleased.

Ii science IS correct, AMI no doubt
it is, that the stegomyia is the only
carrier of the dreaded disease, we d.

every person in that city who is not
immune from the fever to wear We

The rain, the sunshine, and the snow;

Some loves we cherish not alone;
And there are leaves and faded
flowers
That tell sad tales in memory's

The years are passing by"
