Vera Cruz, now prominent in the
news dispatches, has been a historical
hot bed of yellow fever. In 1909 Span
ish colonist attempted to settle there.
Six hundred promptly died of the fever.
at the end of fifteen months but sixty
survived. Tampico is also a nursery for
the plague.
From last available reports of the
United States Public Health Service
there were from February first to the
twenty-fourth twenty-five cases and
and sixteen deaths in Tampico, and
there was an epidemic at Vera Cruz.
Two yellow fever experts have been
ordered to Vera Cruz to act with of
ficers of the army and navy.
Undoubtedly, one of the results of
the American occupancy of Mexico will
be the widening of territory which is
yellow fever. Yellow fever was wiped
out of Cuba and the southern part of
the United States as result of the
Spanish-American war. The disease
had been constantly present in Cuba
for two hundred years when we took
charge. Every foreign visitor knew
that he would contract it. One in four
was certain to die of it. BY fighting
mosquitoes and screening against them
yellow fever was eliminated.
Colonel Gorgas, the sanitarian of the
Canal Zone (who deserves as much
credit rs anyone for the successful con-
struction of the Panama canal) says
that 1.-The next generation will look
upon yellow fever parasites as we do
on three toed horses as animals that
existed in the past without any posi-
bility of reappearing on the earth at
any future time.ns

that, the greatest difficulty was en-
countered in overcoming the indiffer-
enoe of the public. People of the south
had SO long been dying of yellow fever
that it had become habit. Our habits
are difficult to uproot. In many in
stances inhabitants had to be forced,
at the point of a bayonet, to submit to
having their lives saved
In our northern territory f1iea repre-
sent a disease source, comparable to a
great extent with the mosquitoes in
the warm zone. We of the north have
tuberculosis, scarlet fever, typhoid,
whooping cough, measles, etc. ANY one
or all of these could be eradicated were
appropriated measures enforced with
equal vigor and efficiency.
Perhaps our territory will need to be
invaded.
