With the discovery of DR.. Reed, the pre-

the simple expedent of discriminating the
mosquitoes Of the "Stegomyia" species.
Gradually it came to be realized that cpl

by wiplng out these insect pests, but each
time the disease would reappear after
time. That made it apparent that some
where In the world there was q reservoir
or reservoirs from which the plague flowed
to again attack the world. Several wears
ago the international Health Board set it,
self the task of finding these foci of the
disease. The investigation developed the
fact that yellow fever is always present at
Guayaquil, on the west coast of South Amer
lea, in a region along the south shores of
the Caribbean Sea and in a strip along the
north Brazilian coast These facts were
ascertained by the health board in 1917,
and a force Of scientists under the com
mand of General Gorgas had all plans made
for the determination Of the disease at that
time. Americas entrance into the war,
however, resulted in General Gorgas's being
called into active service from which he

M AIDE PesfiIence

1t will be noticed that DR.. Vincent speaks
of the catastrophe that through the opeping
OF new trade routes by means of the Pan
ANA Canal would result from the appear-
ance of yellow fever in other parts of the
world-Asia, for instance. That calls at
tentlon to the fact that yellow fever ia a
strictly American pestilence, one of the
things discovered by Columbus along with
the New World. There have been numerous
and terrible outbreaks of yellow fever in
European ports, generally in Spain, but thew

what we do now, we know that the disease
was carried to Europe by mosquitoes aboard

A Story
OF Bravery

Now one Of the most inspiring
chapters in the long history of medicine
The United States appointed a commission
to investigate the fever and find its cause
and cure. The commission was headed by
DR.. Walter Reed, whose monument is the
great Walter Reed Hospital, in Washing
ton, and DR.. James Carroll DR.. Jesse W.
Lazear and DR.. Aristides Agramonte, the
latter Cuban immune.
The commission finally decided that the
mosquito theory must be tested, and that
the only way it could be tested was for
somebody to permit himself to be bitten
by the insects that were known to be in
fected by the disease These men of
science knew just how perilous thing that
was, SO they decided that they themselves
must be the first subjects for test. DR..
Carroll offered himself first, DR.. Reed hav-
ing been called back to the United States
temporarily. DR.. Carroll was bitten by
four different insects In two DAVIS he
showed premonitory symptoms of the fever
and was taken to the fever camp. For three
days his life hung in the balance, and he
was month In recovering. Writing of his
experience, DR.. Carroll said:
ION the 18th of September, five days
after was permitted to leave my. bed, DR.
Lazear was stricken and died in convul-
slons just one week later after several
days of delirium, with black vomit. Such
is yellow fever"
The incubation of DR.. Lazear was acct
dental. He was working with yellow
fever patient, and a mosquito alighted on
his hand. He did not disturb it.

to revise Y. NJ. c. A. methods completely
The ways that were good before Verdun
were utterly impractcable in the area that

Thierry. Men of the Red Triangle were
obliged to revise their plans from week to
week, from day to day, even from hour to
hour
1t has become the fashion recently to
criticise the Y NJ. C. A. You hear people
say that the Y. M. c. A. failed to keep in
touch with the wounded people who do
not know that, to make every workers eff
fort count and to save duplication, the Red
Cross concerned itself with the wounded
and i'll while the Y. NJ C. A. and similar
organizations worked with the whole and
well.
You hear people say that the Y. NJ C. A.
protited by its operation of canteens And
then you read the War Departments very
thorough statement on this subject and YOU
get the true facts
You hear that the Y. NJ c. A. sold gift
tobacco, and then you read the army's logi-
cal explanation of how this might very
easily occur when the gift tobacco cases
were not specially marked and the error
could not be discovered until the individual
cartons were opened-and how in every in
stance the Y NJ. c. A. refunded or gave an
equivalent amount from its own supplies
You hear some people say that Y. NJ. C. A.
men adopted a hoier- than thou attitude
and others that they did not impress re-
lgious ideas sufficiently upon the soldiers
You hear many conflicting criticisms and
if you take the trouble to investigate, you
can learn the facts.
