CREATED A FURoRE.
Belief in Discovery of Yellow Fever
Germ

dGT~n.
A New Orleans dispatch last night saws:
DR.. O. l.. Pothier's announcement that he
and his colleagues, Drs. Watson and dume
and Professor Couret. have identified what
they have reason to believe is the active
agent IN yellow fever. has created a furore
in local medical circles.
Some OF the older local physicians are in
clined to bel!ttle the discovery, and ro!nt
to the investigations of Dr. Joseph Jones,
former president of the state board of
health, when microscopic Investigations
of the blood of yellow fever patients was
carried to the point of ascertaining the
granular and stellate characteristics of the
red corpuscles.
Another element hold that the inyestiga-
tons by DR.. Potaier. &c, have carried the
process of elimination to such point that
the identity of the cellular forms discoy-
cred is practically certain as that of the
active agent in yellow fever
Dr. Pothier was silent, save to reiterate
what he said last night. His future course
Will be to trace the cellular form through
the mosquito from the time of biting a
yellow fever patient to transmitting the
disease to another person.
Drs. Archinard, Hamilton, Jones' and
others at work in the Emergency Hospital
refused today to say more than that their
experiments paralleled, but were not SO far
advanced as the experiments at the Char
ity Hospital.
Research is continuing at both hospitals.
AT the Charity the Investigations are now
with infected mosquitoes which are being
procured freshly infected. In the Emer-
gency Hospital researches are continuing
along the same lines, without regard to
the announcement made from the other
establishment. The two institutions are
working in harmony.
Surgeon General Walter Wyman of the
public health and marine hospital sery-
ice showed much interest in the report
made by Drs. D. l.. Poshier Joseph Hume.
F. II. Watson and NJ. Couret, as to yellow
fever germ. He said:
Il know DR.. Pothier and his colleagues as
good workers and 1t looks to me as if thew
were on the road to success l cannot say
nor do they say themselves that their
work is complete. They have published an
article in the journal of the American
Medical Association, under the title of "A
Preliminary Report on Cells Found in yell
low Fever Blood with Reference to Their
Etiologic and Diagnostic Significance
I'VE also have officers of the service
working on the same problems in New
Orleans. but have not heard whether or
not they are working the same lines.
/ hardly expect to hear from them until
they are through with their research"
