GU ITERAS ON 1 Le Does not ILiOok lo ' '..? ! ff rv + ft ; .. ( . . iVci; Orleans Jil To a reporter of,tue Timcs-Demoerdt ])t. Guitera3 conversed interestingly upon the subject of ?he fever in geu . ral. .'There seems to be a moral fear on thc part of people outside of, the in fected locality that infection is possi ble by breathing the same atmosph?re a? that inspired hy a person who has liuppened to be for a brief period in an infected neighborhood," remarked the United States-marine hospital ex pert with a smile. "To this fear was Jue the scant welcome given mc, but the fear is absurd, as it is a matter of impossibility for infection to bo con voyed in this manner. A physician will not carry tho infection to anyone, because he himself is not infected, and the germ (for there is undoubtedly a perm) is unable to multiply in the dry clothrug, particularly where the wear er submits himself to thc sterilizing influences of the dry air and sunshine. "It is possible forthe very room in which a yellow fever patient is lying te be void of infeotion,, and there is no danger of infection by the fact that a person submits himself to the influ ence of the sick room for a brief period under any circumstances. In fection is made possible by the lack of canitation and disinfection in thc early ?tages o? tho. disease. For in stance, a pe ra on may become infected by remaining in an infected house for too long a period. He or she becomes part of the infected locality, and may be taken??down wWh the fever. By disinfecting tho-clo thing ?fa yellow fever patient, together with all matter' voided by tho patient, from the incep tion of the fever, and continuing this process thoroughly, tho dangar of in fection to other persons in the dwell ing is reduced to a minimum. . "I speak from experience.in'this re gard. I have had esses of fever under my-care in tho crowded ward of a hos pital, attended by nurses fresh from Bellevue and surrounded by other pa tients, and yet, by (pursuing the course indicated, not 'auothor case of thc fever developed. Other experiences along the Ram? lino have der^esntrutcd the virtues of this disinfection even during epidemics, where a fever hos pital has failed to spread the infection in a locality of which it was the cen tre and when it contained a large num ber of patients, and in ethe? instances of a like nature. "I know that a ease ot yellow fever can be so eared for in a hotel filled with non-infected guests as to abso lutely avoid danger of infection to ether persons. ? dwelling in which fever exists must, however, be thor oughly sanitated.

Yellow j. THE FEVER. a Severe Epidemic. net-Democrat. fever has a cycle which it pursues. If it begins early in a community, climatic influences retard its spread, and it progresses slowly until favora ble conditions supervene, when it branches suddenly into additional ex istence, lt reaches its average, how ever, before it is over. Again, it may begin later and develop its cycle rap idly and wilhin a f ow weeks of its in ception present the characteristics of a previous outbreak at the same period. That is, will occupy the same area and sinke the same average. "Frost is usually thc obly thing whioh brings an outbreak to a close.' Lack of material will do the samo thing, and sometimes the cycle of the fever will run itself and leave the community free of disease while frost is still absent and plenty of material on the Ground. This is one of its vagaries. It will be remembered that during tho .epidemic at Cairo in 1878 the worst period of the outbreak Tras after the 1st of October, and after the first frosts of that month. October is a month, I speak plainly, when thc fever continues to make progress. The cool nights have no effect upon the complaint if frost is . absent, and with_che approach of tho frosts-that is, colder weather--the mortality in creases. It matters not that the temperature in the sick chamber he kept to the same degrey.. There is a factor in the climatic change which we do not understand, but which in variably makes the fever more malig nant. "Yellow fever is better understood, however, than during our previo?o aud worst visitations, and the mortality table showed a greater percentage. Patients were Sweated to death. Mow, if I wore called in, I am not sure that I would order even a hot footbath. A sedlitz powder, dose of castor oil or a mild powder of .calomel, either would do for a purgative, and .then, the pa tient covered with & single blanket, I would permit the fever to take its course, prescribing careful attention and nursing, ice water in am*.ii quan tities cr chipped iee when desired, with other quieting drinks, always in small portions. I do not think I would give fever-reducing . medicines, because thc yellow id a fever which has its duration, and is not afforded ncr lessened by remedial agents given to lower the temperature of * o pati ent. Possibly a dose of phen.u^etino or autipyrine to give the sufferer a com?p?table night by reducing the pains in back and head. But it is probable that this one dose would be the only one, as a frequent ?se of these medicines affect the heart seri ously, sud this is to be avoided. Wfc?t ls to be looked after aro complications. Here is where the physician is able to do thG greatest good, and by prompt ?retinent accomplish much. While tho trcatment of yellow fever ia really very' simple, and the services of a medical man frequently diepens?d with, tho patient ^rogresstag withowt complications and. recovering tinder .careful and experienced Bursiog, the services of a physician should always '|? sec urea, and in the inception of the complaint, that a proper dismnesia be made and a system of disinfection carried on whioh may save oiher ill ness. "In regard to the spread of the fever in thi3 city, in view of the fact that the infection has been retarded by the local authorities and all foci of infection quarantined and sanitated,' the new cases nearly occurring in dif f?rent localities, I cac only express my opinion. I should judge that there must haye beeu: several cases of the -feyer wb?oh w?r? breB^^t, !:i?6ifc.Or 4s yol?ned here, abd were unrecognized prior to its -discovery at Ocean Springs. This, coupled to its coming of a large number of persons from the coast resort, would give su^Cient reaspn'for' the spresd ?? the disease, although, following eo t?oou after tho Opean Springs fever htid oeisn announced, I am inclined to believe that'the fever must have been imported before the c?ioml announcement eu tbs ^-?t "This Tr?d?d explain ?he carriageof infection to all pat?s of the city* bc cense it is evident that there can be no connection between the reported cases and those reported later. I havo always found that the negroes ere fre quent causes for* the"spread bf the yellow fever. Prior to 1873 it was a popular fallacy that th? negroes were immune'to the disease. Tho fact that many of. fcKem became patients that year exploded the theory and devel oped tho fact that the negroes wore peculiarly liab'.ic. to. the fover, although it nearly always assumed a mild form, with few fatalities. "Th'j. result was thtl tho negroes whe n seined wi th a mild attack wero permitted af fer-?-:i^-^?y to go their rounds arnera thc ~h hs people and ?carry tho infection ?a their affests, spreading the disease, and increasing the mortality considerably. This ought to,be horne in mind, xi is ex tremely difficult to diagnose yellow fever in a negro, tho characteristics j being absent on account of the color, ' and yellowness of tho eyeball is not uncommon among them in health. "In regard to the fever at present affecting the South, I must confess t that I do not regard it as being par- ] tioularly mild. If it continues at the 1 rate indicated this Thorning, Monday, ) of 12 1-2 per cent, it will about equal the mortality of the Jacksonville cpi- 1 demie, and will exceed that of the 1 Brunswick outbreak, which reached a 1 ratio.of 8 per cent. The low rate of ] death is accounted for by thc fact that ! we diagnose carly ali mild cases as i well as the more serious ones, and the 1 ratio was made by a comparison with the increased number of cases treated "In the old days it was customary to omit from consideration hundreds of extremely mild cases which recov ered after a very brief attack, -ad to itr ore thc negro canes, considering only tho grave ones and baring a mor tality upon this latter class. This i naturally gave an excessive death rato and an unjust one.. With the report ing of all cases, mild and severe, the death rate will show a marked vari ance, and on the right side, as against the epidemics of 1878 and. prior. "In further regard to the present outbreak I do not believe that thc course of the fever will bo toward a 8e7ere epidemic. While I believe there will be a considerable spread of the fever, there is no reason to appre hend anything particularly serious. It behooves the people here to be cau tious and circumspeot. To avoid ap proaching infection and to report all suspicious cases without -delay. Dis infection and proi .pt sanitation will reduce the fever's onslaught and cur tail Us limits. Just ma He Dreamed lt. SPRINGFIELD, ILL.J October ld, George Anderson, of this city, an engi neer on the Wabash railroad, died of injuries which KG received in a head on oollision at Naples on Wednesday. On the morning of the accident Anderson dreamed that he had been in a*collision, that'he had been pin ioned beneath his^ engine, and that, the escapingo steam had began to burn his'flesh, when he awoke* Anderson was troubled by the dream and told his family ..bout it. He said he felt that there was a warning in the dream, and he was almost persuaded not to go out on tho road that- day, but he went. Anderson talked to his fireman about the presentiment.' It-evident ly preyed upon his iniad^ior he became abstracted in manner and almost heed less of his surroundings. The nearer the train approached its destination the more(distraught Anderson became, and he had the appearance of dream ing again as he went about his work in the'cab. t He did not give bis usual attention to the fireman, and the latter felt that something was wrong with the engineer, .At Bluffs Cea'd^scr G?msoe get the orders at the depot and took thean to* Anderson. The engineer heard them read and attended to the reading in the same absent-minded manner that had marked-his conduct, through out tho morning? Taking the copi?e he mechanically placed "them tinder his seat cushion. As the conductos* turned away from tho cab Anderdon called him back and said ; "I am going to.have one of the most awful wrecks you have ever heard of/' % Th? conductor was startled, and asked him.what, made him. say this. "I know it is so,** replied Ander eon, because I had trouble with my engine all last night and could not sleep. X am going to have a head-on ?Ollision." Garrison told him he had only suf fered a nightmare. Anderson shook his head gloomily and said ho knew the accident would occur. .Anderson'.?* orders instructed him to meet a local freight at Naples w?ii "or that train to take the siding. When the point was reached Anderson gave no inclination of stopping his engine, and as his train dashed by the switch tho fireman saw his engineer Bitting 'as if ina trance. At the same moment ho saw the local coming down upon them;. A collision was inevitable, and the fireman sprang for the-footboard, crying to the engineer to jump. Anderson looked afc the ?ress^?\~ a d?Kcd, manner, but made no movement toward the cab entrance. The fireman Sprang out and the trains rushed to gether. Anderson was caught beneath his engine jus? as he had dreamed he would be and the steam enveloped -him. He was finally taken from thia awful position, but ho had \ reoeived injuries from which he soon died; Every other man on the train escaped. -St. Louis Republic. - Few Luen.in this country are bet-, ter or more favorable known to the drag and medicine trade than Mr. E.

Smyth represented Texas as engineer; white two young I ni ted States army engineers represented tho United States. These were General Joseph E. Johnston and General George G. Meade. General Bco's next service was as one of a party, headed by J. C. Eldridge, stnt by President Hous ton to find and treat with the Com mancho Indians. With them were Thomas Torey and a few friendly Delaware Indians as guides and in terpreters. They left Fort Martin, thirty miles from Waco, in March, 1843, and for five months they uever saw a hut or sign of civilization. For days at a time they were without food. When 500 miles from thc near est cabin, though bearing a white flag, they were captured by over a thousand Commanche warriors. A council of chiefs sat on their destiny from tho rising to the setting of the sun, the Delawares, who were not in danger, Hising all their power to save them, and at frequent intervals advising them of their seemingly fixed doom. Ao the san neared the horizon every chief but -one had given his voico for the death of the three white men, learning which through the interpre ters-they resolved on their course. They wou!d not suffer Indian torture, but; having two pistols, they resolved that when the Indians should come to take them to the stake, with one each would kill a Commanche and with the other end his own existence. But the head chief of all tho CommancheB, II a nay al a, who presided in the council, arose and spoke. He said the Great Spirit would not be picked if the Commanohes killed the messengers of. peace ; that tho white flag must bo respected, or the face of tho Spirit would be turned from them.

One hard winter, when sickness came to the poorly paid pastor of a certain Mew England church, his flock determined to meet%at his bouse and offer prayers for the speedy recovery of. the sick ones, and for material blessings upon the pastor's family. While one of tbx deacons was offering a fervent prayer for blessings upon the pastor's household, there was a loud. knook at the door. When the door waa opened, a stout farmer-boy was seen. "Whatdo you want boy?" asked one of the members. "I've brought pa's prayers," re plied thc boy. "Brought pa's prayers ? What do yon mean ?" . "Yep, bought his prayers, an' they are ont in tho wagon. Just heip me, an' we'll get 'em in."
