low fever is Of African origin, it is not
difficult TO explain its transportation
to America. 1t is one of the baneful
iega ries bcqueathed by the slave trade
The slave dealers of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries often lost
from one half to two-thirds OF their
cargo during the voyage from mys-
terious fever which broke out sudden
~ in the filthy holds of the ovcrcrowd-
ed ships, and this complaint, formerly
denomin&ted African, or ship, fever, is
now believed to have been yellow
fever. Whenever it appeared among
the hapless and terrified wretches
packed in the middle decks of the
slavers 1t made the most frightful raw
ages, and, as n rule, the crews OF the
vessels suffered equally with the
slaves, More than once in the history
OF the slave trade ships were found
adrift at sea, the holds filled with dead
blacks, while the white crews were
either dead or stricken with the fever.
Even in those remote days it was
suspected that the plague was in some
way connected with yellow fever 1t
was observed that the latter sickness,
occurred almost always at ports In
which a returned SLAYER had just dis

yellow Jack That 1t has been effect
ual is proved by the fact that within
a few months after mosquito extermi-
nation began at Havana the fever dis
appeared-for the first time in a cen
tury and half.
1t is a Observation-Disclosures fact that
yellow fever has prevailed endemlcally
throughout the West Indies and in GER
tain regions on the Spanish main ever
since the discovery of America. Bar
hados, Jamaica and Cuba suffered cpl
denies before the middle Of the sew
entecnth century. There We're out
breaks of the pest in Philadelphia,
Charleston and Boston as early as
1892, and for hundred years after
ward there We're occasional eruptions,
eliminating in the famous Philadel-
phla epidemic OF 1893. Most Northern
cities were able by extraordinary san!-
tary and quarantine measures to pre-
vent great epidemics, at least after the
beginning of the nineteenth century
but the disease crept in from the West
indies now and then and ragged cpl
dcmically in the Southern towns.
Although 1t has been the habit of
certain medical authorities, especially
those OF foreign countries, to describe
yellow fever as disease which origi-
mated on the Western continent, there
Is excellent ground for dissent. 1t is
we'll known to medical historians that
at the time when the plague first APP
peared in the West Indies and at va
rious points in South and Central
America a similar disease ragged yio-
lently on the west coast of Africa in
the countries bordering on the Medtcr-
ranean and in India. OF course its

Medical mon have never left off the
ori2ing about the cause of yellow fever
since they began to treat it. 1t was
believed by many that it was infec-
tious, a specific miasm carried in the
air. Others taught that it was con-

tact with substances which had been
contaminated by fever patient. Aft
