YELLOW WALKING FEVER.
Victims Of the Disease Who IN
Willingly Infect Others as
They Go About.

"In the south they have had this
fall yellow fever" said lady who,
according to the New York Herald, is
an exile from Mobile because of the
sickness. But one Of the sources of
the disease is OF peculiar character.
1t is distributed by persons who have
what is called the walking fever.
while the fever is latent in them, but
still of malignant character. A victim
in whom the disease is established, and
who is put to bed by reason Of COM
ing in contact with but few persons
rarely becomes a focal point OF its
spread But the victim who still moves
about distributes the malignant faint
to many. The curious thing about
these sufferers is that they keep on
going about till they simply fall down
and quickly die. They have a head.
ache and stiff joints, but their tenn
perature is little above normal, and
they attribute their sickness to other
than the serious causes which give
rise to it,
"In a previous invasion of yellow
fever in the south | remained unit

antine was imposed and its terms were
executed with cruel fidelity. A gen
