FIGHTING THE FEVER
YELLOW JACK AS IT IS KNOWN
TO MODERN SCIENCE.
Combat Against the Dreaded Southern
scourge La No Longer the Unequal
Struggle 1t Once Proved to Be-some
Yellow Fever History.

Fortunately the combat against yell
low fever, the most dreaded of summer
visitors, is no longer the unequal strug-
gle it once proved to be. Modern re-
search and improved methods of sani-
tation have robbed the ancient terror
Of much Of its grewsomeness, writes
Everett Lawton, but too much that is
reminiscent Of its horrors still re-
mains.
Medical men have never left Off the
erizing about the cause Of yellow fever
since they began to treat it. 1t was
believed by many that it was infec-
hous, a specific miasm carried In the
air. Others taught that it was con-
tagious. contracted only by actual con-
tact with substances which had been
contaminated by fever patient. Aft
er the search for heterogeneous be-
came the fad there were many an
nouncements of the discovery Of the
fever bacillus, but conservative ply
sicians were inclined to be skeptical.
In the summer of 1900 came the first
inkling of the true solution. The
United States government had under
taken to free Havana from its I'M
savory reputation for unhealthfulness,
and as a preliminary Surgeon General
aternberg fnow retired) appointed a
board to investigate the yellow fever.
The preliminary observation dis
closed several significant facts. It
was found that non-immune nurses did
not often contract the disease. That
seemed to controvert the idea of con-

In the shipyard near by were pros
trated by a complaint which was rec.
osnized by competent physicians as
identical with the fever prevalent on
slave ships. Within a week the pes.
thence was epidemic in the city.
Philadelpnfa's prominence as a part
led to several subsequent scourges Of
the pest. and in every ease it seemed
to originate either from a slave ship
or from a vessel coming direct from a
southern port.
In 1762 several thousand persons
died during an epidemic of yellow
fever In the Quaker City, and there
were subsequent destructive vista
tons In 1913. 1897 and 1902. The great
plague Of 1893 really began in New
York and spread over most Of the Uni
ted States during that and the follow
ing season. The worst experience
southern Europe ever had with the
fever began at Gibraltar in 1904. A
slave ship with the disease on board
was encountered by a British mer-
chairman at sea off the Gibraltar
strait, and as there were not enough
well men on board to manage the ship
the captain Of the English vessel sent
several sailors aboard the SLAYER and
advised its master to put in at Glib
raitar. The SLAYER did SO. The slaves
were landed, the ship was cleaned,
and few days later the fever was in
full blast among the soldiers Of the
GA nd
died Of the complaint and thrice that
number Of civilians. Many fed, and
the contagion was spread among the
Spanish ports OF the Mediterranean.
In the following summer 1t made its
appearance ut Genoa and a few weeks
later q Naples, whore over 1000 fatal
cases occurred. Thence the malady
made ies way along the italian and
GFoctaM coasts to Constantinople,
where Il found ,congenial soil. The
ports Of the oricnt were each stricken
In turn, and the seourse followed the
pilgrim route down the Red Sea to
Mecca. Returning pilgrims bore It
with them to India, and the great cpl
Asnaae followed.
During the past century the visits
Of the dreaded disease to the United
States were numerous. New Orleans
has been the chief sufferer. Epidemics
Of yellow fever prevailed there in
16&7. 1863, 1855, 1853, 1867, 1873 and
1879. The visitation Of 1853 was the
mest deadly, over. 5000 victims having
fallen. The experience Of Memphis in
1878 and 1879 10 still recalled with hor-
rox. During the first season Of the
pest there were $3.50 deaths, and dur
ing the second, although the town was
almost deserted, there were several
hundred moro. This pestilence Of 1879
was the most destructive Of any ever
experienced IN the United States, 65,-
o7o eases having been reported and
II, 500 deaths. During the Civil War
there was scarcely a case among the
Union troops in the South, although It
was freely predicted that the forces In
the Gulf region would be annihflated
By the disease. When New Orleans
was occupied by General Butler many

CHAPTER yIII.

In the church the choir. were already
assembled. and as soon as we arrived the
practice began. They sung, right through.
FIRST the chants and then the hymns,
both for morning and evening. so that
the practice took an hour and more.
! sat on the porch and listened, watch
ing the fading light In the windows, and
The shadows falling along the aisles,
while the voices of the choir, uplifted,
rang out clear and true and echoed
around the walls Of the empty church,
and beat about among the rafters of the
roof.
The black clouds hanging low made
the evening so dark that outside the
porch one could see nothing. But the
lightning began to play about, and lit
mp the grave stones with sudden CLEANS.
Presently, looking out into the black
ness, discovered In one Of these flashes

among the graves. This was a strange

Ing over headstone and peering into It.
NJ Il trying to read the name of the per-
son buric there.
Then the man left the grass, probably
because he could no longer read any Of
ths names. and began to walk along the
gravel walk toward the porch; perhaps
because he saw the lights and heard the
singing. The choir were lust beginning
the last Of their hymns,
'Lead. kindly light. amid the incirclins

That's the voice Of George Sidcots,"
said the stranger, addressing himself.

Mary greeted me with her usual kind

kerred to.
"And how Is George behaving, Mary !?
And has the Dragon relentedr
