Capt. Whites Yellow Fever Experience
A Lancaster special to the News and
Courier says that the theory that yei-
low fever is communicated by mosqui-
toes that have bitten yellow fever pa
tients seems to be accepted by scien-
lists generally as the real cause Of the
transmission Of the disease. Capt
Samuel E. White, however, formerly OF
Fort Mill, but now residing in Lancas-
ter, is Of the opinion, based on his
own experience, that yellow fever may
be caused by agencies other than the
MOSQUITO, In 1859 Capt. White and
five other gentlemen made q tour OF
Texas and Mexico. After spending
ten days on the plains Of Texas they
crossed over into Mexico where five OF
the party were stricken down witt
yellow fever, Capt. White being the
first to take the disease. Two out OF
the five victims died. Capt. White
says at that time there was no yellow
fever in either Texas or Mexico, and
he attributes the contraction OF the
disease by himself and friends to theil
drinking foul water out of basins
where cattle also drank, on the plains
Of Texas.
