NO QUARANTINE
AT NEW ORLEANS
Says DR.. BrImby. the State
Health Officer.
SCOTS at The Idea of Louisiana Establish.
ing Quarantine Against Dengue
Fever. The Disease is not
Dangerous One.

Dr.. W. H. Brumby, State Health
Officer, was in the city last night
stopping at the Bexar Hotel, says
the San Antonio Express. He made
an important statement in connec-
ton with the reports that have
gone out to the effect that New
Orleans has quarantined against
Brownsville and the epidemic of
dengue which is reported there.
DR.. Brumby asserted that he is
positive that no quarantine exists
anywhere in Texas or in Louisiana,
but that people coming from
Brownsville, going to any part of
Texas or Louisiana, are kept under
surveillance for six days to guard
against accidents. He says that
DR.. Irion, President of the Louis
lana State Board of Health, has
had a representative at Brownsville
who mas talked. the matter over
and there is said to be a thorough
understanding between the Texas
and Louisiana health officials. DR..
Brumby is confident that the re-
port which went out to the effect
that Louisiana quarantined against
the State had it basis in a meeting
which was recently held in Louis
lana to endore the action of DR..
Irion and his representative who
went to Brownsville. DR.. Brumby
is confident that no further action
was taken by the board and SCOTS
at the idea that a quarantine has
been declared by Louisiana against
the Brownsville country or against
the dengue.
Speaking of the dengue as a
disease, he said that it is not dan
gerous, but that it makes people
very sick and causes them a great
deal of pain and suffering. He says
that mild type of yellow fever
and a severe type Of dengue are
about the same, although the di-
sease is different. Lie does not
anticipate a spread of the disease,
although he says that it is conta-
gious in all of the coast country
and that it is communicated by
mosquitoes just as yellow fever.
Whenever a person goes from
Brownsville to any part of the
South the health officials at the
Point to which he goes are notified
Immediately to be on their guard
and the party is kept under sur
veillance. DR.. Brumby feels that
this all that is necessary in the
way of precaution.
