was This My
Yellow Fever
By LYLE SPENCE
o Western Newspaper Union.

a THOUGH history books do
not say SO, the United States
came within an ace of losing the
Spanish-American war. Our great
est enemies were not the Spaniards.
Our doughboys had them licked be-
fore the first shot was fred. Our
real enemies were the germs Of
that devastating tropical disease
called yellow fever.
After two months of campaigning
in Cuba, the official report said the
army was utterly used up and Of
no value whatever as fighting
machine 1T least four-ffths OF
the troops were down and out with
tropical diseases, principally yellow
fever.
At this dismal juncture, Walter
Reed, brilliant young American
doctor, arrived in Havana. He
quickly saw that none of the other
doctors had the slightest idea what
caused yellow fever. But when he
suggested that such a little thine
as the bite Of q mosquito could
bring it on, the know-it-alls laughed
in his face.
Then Reed performed one OF thu
most amazing experiments in the
annals OF medicine. Several heroic
troopers volunteered themselves q,
human experiments. Some allowed
themselves to be bitten by Stego-
myia mosquitoes. Others slept on
bed clothing infected by yellow fe-
yer victims.
All the troopers bitten by mosoui-
toes fell Ill with fever within four
days. None of the other did. So
a brave doctor with the aid of
few brave soldiers was able to prove
conclusively the cause Of yellow
fever and pave the way for sanitary
experts to wipe it forever out OF
the tropics.
