works up and down lubricating them
with saliva, until il bores through the
skin and draws the blood. AS IL draws
the blood the yellow fever germ. with
which the mosquito is inOculated is
transmitted in the saliva to the unfor-
tunate person who happens 10 be the
victim of the MOSQUITOES bite
The bite Of the mosquito. however,
does not convey yellow fever TO a
healthy person until twelve days have
elapsed from the time when the same
mosquito has bitten person suffering
with the disease.
It follows. from this fact. that by
keeping yellow fever patients screened
from the possibilities OF mosquito bites
the yellow fever mosquito can be pre-
vented from becoming infected.
It follows further that by preventing
healthy people from being bitten by
mosquitoes they may be kept free from
the disease even where infected mos
quitOes exist
BY the adoption Of remedial measures
looking toward the destruction In all
stages of the yellow fever mosquito It
Is possible TO reduce TO a minimum the
possibilities of the transfer Of the
disease.
After demonstrating the fact the medi-
cal officers of the army In Cuba have
put these measures into effect and the
results have been most gratifying. The
health conditions at Havana have con-
stautly improved.
The discovery and the practical dem
onstrauon Of it's truth promises to
change the methods Of quarantine III
the United States. If this principal is
acted upon rgidly the elimination OF
yellow fever in the Southern countries
seems assured.
