SOLDIERS ESCAPE FEVER.

One Of the most ~ BILE and
brilliant scientific &C sevements
which characterized the yellow
fever campaign in New Or
leans, was witnessed at the Jack
son Barracks, the United States
army post, just below the city,
which though flanked on either
side by the fever, wholly escaped
the disease, and all Of this despite
the fact that there stationed in the
barracks 223 officers and men, all
non-immunes. When the fever
Wa first declared the question OF
evacuation was debated but. due
to the progress OF medical science,
to believe in the mosquito dogma
anC the necessary military disci-
piine TO enforce modem sanitary
measures, it was decided to keep
n" troops intact and rs place the
men under certain restraint, as 10
indi-criminate mingling in the
city, though there was no quaran-
tine whatever. The barracks We're
screened thoroughly, the men
made to sleep under mosquito
bars. and all apartments were
regularly fumigated until Jackson
Barracks was as free from mos
quitoe- as the Emergency Hospit-
al itself. The immunity of the |
army post from the disease which |
pra cticallv surrounded it is point
ID to by DR.. White as a striking
example of what may be accom-
pi:-hed Ivy fighting the mosquito
ana eliminating the only known
agent Of transmission.
