among the ignorant Inhabitants of

Ancon, c. All the world gives to
Col. w. C. Gorgas, chief sanitary Off
Ger, and his assistants full credit for
the wonderful work they have accom-
plished In making the Panama canal
zone healthful and keeping 1t SO. All
the world that knows gives equal r
greater credit to those American, Ital-
ian and English doctors and soldiers
who sacrificed their health and in
some cases their lives to prove that
yellow fever and malaria, the two ter
rors of tropic America, are transmit
ted by the bite Of mosquitoes. 1t Is
not my intention to tell over again
the latter story. The devotion OF
those brave men actually made pos
sible the building Of the Panama
canal, for their work has been TAX
en- full advantage of by Colonel Cor
gas and his forces, and the one is
now one Of the most healthful places
In the world.
Before the coming Of the Amer
leans the isthmus was a veritable pest
hole. The French canal builders and
their workmen and the laborers on
the Panama railway died like flies,
usually of malaria or yellow fever.
Today a fatal case of malaria is a
rafity, the more malignant form being
almost unknown, and not a single case
Of yellow fever has originated in the
zone in several years.
The Stegomyia mosquito, the yellow
fever bearer, has not been exceed
ingly hard to exterminate because it
breeds and lives only near human
habitations. When the Americans
had substituted a regular water sys-
tenn and underground sewers for the
rain water barrels and the open
bitches in Colon, Panama and the
other towns, and had fumigated all
the dwellings. stegomyia was prac-
tically extinct. That job of fumigat-
