fever from the health authorities. and
the result was that the prevalence Of
the disease was not known even TO the
city health officer until the middle OF
July.
An attack OF yellow fever comes on
with severe chlls or rigOrs when Il
comes suddenly. 1t may come on more
gradually with Languor. headache and
malarial symptoms. The tempera ture
goes 70 100 degrees, sometimes higher.
The fever lasts from three 10 five days,
attended with pain in the back. limbs
and head. There Is nausea and vomIt-
ing. The yellow tint OF the skin. from
which the fevor gets its name, begins
on the second or third day. Yellow
fever develops usually frsm three or
four days afteE injection. Sometimes
II takes seven days. In severe cases
small hemorrhages take place into the
skin and mucous membrane. The
vomit IL At first white Later il DO

First Recognized In West tndieS.
Although yellow fever has been oc-
casionally seen outside Of the tropics.
Its real origin is in a warm climate 1t
was 1rst recognized definitely in the
West Indies in 1S47, where Il prevails,
as well as on the west coast OF Africa,
Central America and southwark along
both coasts OF South America and
northward TO the south Atlantic and
gulf states. IL has been brought TO
north Atlantic seaports by vessels.
The coming OF frost generally stops
yellow fever Survivors Of one attack
OF yellow fever become immune from
further attack. The mortality varies.
In some epidemics IL has been as high
as IS per cent; in others as low as 10
per cent.
Experts seem to agree that the first
step to combat the spread OF yellow
fever is 10 attack the mosquito. In

its making these peculiar fruits are
boiled until about the consistency of

started in pursuit. The horizon was
eagerly scanned for white sail, but none
could be found. On and on we rowed

hard pulling, "The Moth was over
