THE QUARANTINE.

Some of the towns in this State
are really ridiculous not to say
stupid in their quarantine regula-
lions, they have lost their good
Judgment and their reason, and
everything they see is yellow fever,
every thing they hear is yellow
fever, everything they touch has
fever, and they hear aud see moth
ing but yellow fever, sickness,
MISERY, deaths and funerals Some
of them are only satisfied when
they can zee every where they can
look. n guard armed with shot
gun, n revolver and Bowie knife,
then they fell they are protected
from the invasion of the yellow
pest.
Some OF the towns are quaraD-
ting their neighbors because they
do not entertain the same ridicu.
lous fear, aud establish shot gun
quarantine. Where is the neces-
sity of quarantining our neighbors
when We know that they have ests-
blished Intelligent but reasonable
quarantine.
1t will not surprise us to bear
that some of the towns will esta-
blish a strict quarantine against
the mosquitoes aud not allow them
to enter their corporate limits an
less they are armed with clean
health certificates, or be merci-
lessly shot down by the armed
guard, some may even go as far
as to quarantine against the breeze
THAT comes from the direction Of
New Orleans, while others may
object to the hot sun that help
breeding the mosquitoes.
We are of opinion that good, iu-
telligent work, properly done, and
reasonable quarantine regulations,
properly carried out will 10 more
good than to try and raise the fear
and prejudice of the more timid
people who generally create pam
ic at the time that good courage
GUS and heroic work is needed.
Take evsgy precaution against the
istroductiop of the disease in our
town. spare no trouble or expense,
but remain within the bounds OF
reason and judgment.

CONSIDER THESE STATEMENTS OF
FACTS, THINK OVER THEM AND DRAW
YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS.
HARLEQUIN

HARLEQUIN
In answer to your questions:
These are the experiments which
have lead to the conclusion that a
certain, one kind of mosquito, is
the Only Transmitting agency OF
yellow fever.
In what | say here I~speak on
the authority of my own personal
Iy conducted experiments. 1 know
OF my own knowledge the facts
state.
The experiments were made du-
ring two consecutive years in an
original home of yellow fever
Vera Cruz. Men were brought
from places where no yellow fever
ever existed. They had been exa-
mined aud found to be free from
any aud all ailments.
They were taken to Vera Cruz
under absolute and complete pre-
cautions against the mosquito.
They were placed in rooms in
which no mosquitoes could have
lived or were living then.
After two weeks of continual ex-
animation, and absolute exclusion
of the mosquito, no sickness of any
kind had developed in the men.

Thursday large number of our
people were very much disappOin-
ted to learn that the branch train
had made no connection with the
train on the main line, and We got
no mail, express or freight. We got
the Information, though not from
a positive source, that the train
would be entirely discontinued.
We could not ascertain whether
or not it was intended TO stop only
the passenger and mail train, or
also the freight train. 1t appears
that some towns will not receive
mail, freight or passengers. aud
will not allow the trains TO stop,
and it is reported that in some
places the people have torn up the
railroad track to keep the train
from running. We can well
enough dispense with the mail,
though it will entirely paralyze the
business of every town, and cause
great INCONVENIENCE, it is nothing
to be compared to the stoppage OF
freight train, as we doubt that our
stores have provisions to last more
than three weeks or month. and
at the end of that time the people
will experience great hardship il
the trains are not allowed to run.

ment of single additional case'
than il these six dozen sufferers
were in the wilds of Africa.
The great problem before us
now is not, "How is yellow fever
transmitted?"
The great problem is to make
the people, the populace, under
stand and believe and know one
single fact-that the "yellow-fever
mosquitoes" presence has been, is
and will be { as long as we permit
it) the destruction and menace OF
man.
1t took over a hundred years for
the people. the populace, to under
stand, to believe, to know that vac
cine i 8 scientific reality-and it
took over half century before the
dread OF smallpox was wiped away
by it.
Let us hope that in this day OF
the printing press and the utiliza-
ton of the lightning, it will not
take as long for man seize upon
the potent reality of vastly i'm
portant fact. This yellow-fever
mosquito does the business, SIR
HARLEQUIN and fellow-citizens. OF
that there is not now a vestige of
doubt. 1t and it alone does it.

u
shifting kind which had been al
lowed to feed on a fatal case of
yellow fever and which had been
kept from that time on, for from
twelve to sixteen days, in a wire
screened cage, were permitted to
sting the men kept under observa-
ton. These men were stricken
three days and one hour after the
mosquito bites, with typical yellow
fever. The prevention of fatality
of the disease in these instances
was due to time Intervention and
extraordinary care.
Over two summers l extended
these experiments aud observa-
tious. There was absolutely no
variation from - fact that this
stripsd-legged aud blue-winged
mosquito, which will be known to
the world in time as the ''yellow
fever mosquito" and which is now
scientifically known as, "stegom-
via fasciata," transmits yellow fe-
yer.
Now. After had developed
yellow fever i'm two non-immunes
with the mosquitoes in the msnn(
just described, l kept these yellow
fever sufferers in the same protec-
ted room with six other men who
never had yellow fever and who
therefore must have been suscep-
tible to it. And after three weeks
not one of them developed the dis
ease. These experiments, too.
we're repeated vsriedly 80 that by
no possibility could the outcome
have been chance or the disease
due to any other source OF infec-
ton than the mosquito.
Also. All mosquitoes l used for
experimentation were reared and
bred from eggs aud young larvae
or wiggle-tails in glass jars in the
laboratory. The freshly Matched
mosquitoes we're consequently free
from the disease for mosquitoes,
thus reared, were continually fed,
in order to keep them alive, on my
non-immune subjects. No subject
bitten by the freshly patched mos
quitoes ever became sick. A
freshly Matched mosquito of that
kind fed on a known aud uudoub-
ted Gaze of yellow fever during the
third and fourth day produced the
disease IN the same men IN whom
he had failed to produce it four
teen days before that is, before
having been fed on the yellow fe-
yer sufferer.
Other varities of mosquitoes
eighteen species) which prevail
ed at the same time in Vera Cruz
were reared and experimental with
in the same manner as just de-
scribed for the fellow fever mos
quito witnouta single case produ-
cling the fever.
