The Yellow Feyer. | (Adv’t.)
The great interest felt about yellow ! To the people and Board of Commis-
fever will justify more than a passin
notice of this disease, its history, natural
location and the usual methods of treat
ment.
Yellow fever, says an authority, is a
disease endemic in low districts near the
sea, but under certain circumftances spo
radic in other places (scattered or opposed
to epidemic,) never appearing heyond 48
degrees north latitude, nor without a
temperature of at least 72 degrees, nor
above the elevation of 2500 feet above the
level of the sea, depending in part on
causes not yet known, but in circum
stances favorable to its production,
capable of being propagated by contagion.
ITS ATTACK, &C.
It usually commences suddenly, gen
erally in the night or early morning with
a sense of coldness, a rigor, or actual
shivering, followed by vascular reaction,
shown by the dryness or heat of the skin,
headache, especially over the eyes, and
pain of the eyeballs, which are suffused
and have a strange and drunk-like ap
pearance. The limbs and loins are pain
ful, the tongue is loaded and its edges are
red. Tlie face is flushed above and below
the eyes, Nausea, gastric uneasiness and
a tendency to vomit soon supervene.
These symptoms Jmay lessen, and the
patient will ordinarily regain his health
in 24 to 36 hours; hut if the symptoms
persist, they soon become more aggravat
ed, and the stomach ejects at first a clear
fluid which soon becomes of a dirty
brown tint, and is finaly succeeded by
the block vomit. As iiie disease advances,
the whole body becomes of a yellow
color, varying in intensity from a pale
lemon to a deep orange lint. The skin is
of a pungent heat, the bowels constipated,
and the red, clear and tremulous state of
the tongue indicates the presence of in
testinal irritation, and the inciease of
danger, The urine and other excrctious
are more or less suppressed.
The disease in fatal cases usually ter
minates on the second or third day.
Sometimes when everything seems favor-
ablo, black vomit suddenly appears, and
the patient immediately succumbs. In
other cases patients experience no symp
toms except severe pains in the legs and
the suppression of urine, and die without
taking their beds. In all cases, terminat
iug fatally, album -u appears in the urine
on the second and third day.
According to one medical authority,the
usual course of yellow fever in its most
concentrated form, consists of 12 hours
of forming period, 30 to 48 of proper
fever, and 24 or 80 concluding. When
the symptoms arc less intense the patient
may survive to the 11th day,
From statistical reports on the deaths
of soldiers, the ratio of deaths from this
disease is about. 1 to every three.
THE TREATMENT.
Of course a physician is to be called at
I once, but some of the methods of # treat
meat heretofore followed m iy be interest
ing, no matter whether we shall ever be
where the disease prevails or not.
Oac of the highest authorities holds
that the disease may be cut short by pre
scribing 2') grains of calomel to 24 grains
of quinine, to be followed by two drachms
of carbonate of magnesia and two ounces
of sulphate of magnesia in eight ounces
of peppermint water. These to he repea
ted at intervals of from 4 to 6 hours, bui
one dose, is generally efficient. Other
physicians have no faith in this treatment,
while others irpat their cases with antiph
logistic or lowering remedies, and others
with stimulants.
The food should be of the mildest form,
arrowroot, sago and barley-water, these ta
be taken frequently in small doses. Weak
brandy and water is some times given.
But what is better for all to know, is
what another high authority says as to
prevent its spread: Thj>t is the removal
of both the sick and the-health to a locali
ty where the thormometor is sufficiently
low, say to dry, high and well ventilated
gsouud. A dose of quinine of five grains
should be taken in till malarial regions in
dependently of t|iis disease.
HISTORY OF THE DISEASE.

Cor ez visited the countrv A disease
bearing the character of the yellow fever

parts of Massachusetts in 1618, and pre
vailed with much severity until 1622. It

out at about 50 per cent lass than what
they had been, and in some cases fally
half, and hut a small amount of the in
debtedness of the county unpaid. This
statement was fully confirmed in the re
port of a competent committee appointed
at the May term of the Superior Court
1875. That committee fully demonstra
ted the fact that the expenses of the coun
ty had increased from May 1874 to May
1875 $4,677,79 .over the previous year, and
that th? increased indebtedness was caus
ed in the'main by the County court, and
that report further states that this increas
ed indebtedness, if continued to Novem
ber next (1876) will require a tax to be
levied as large or larger than any yet born
by us to meet its payment. But this
statement did not suit the hungry office
seekers who like driveling hounds around
the flesh pots, continued to growl, circu
lating false reports and any falsehood that
would mislead the people and poison their
minds against the Comissioners. The jail
was most of the time filled with criminals
aud but few of them tried and sentenced
and was also made an asylum for the lu
natic which accounts in a great measure
for the accumulated indebtedness of the
county. A tax was levied to pay it up
together with the 3mall amoint outstand
ing, but an injunction was had restraining
the collection of half of said levy, which
has brought about a deplorable state of
things—an accumulated debt and without
money or credit —no one will contract to
do any work for the county, and anything
that is bought—supplies for the poor of
whatever nature—the most exhorbitant
prices are charged and now I ^sk who are
responsible ? Are the debts of the coun
ty not to be paid ? Is it intended to re
pudiate ? God forbid 1 If not, I ask,
why such madness. Such being the case

Aid,
At a meeting of the citizens or the city
of Bainbridge, called at the instance of
his Honor the Mayor, to take action in
behalf of the suffering people qf Savan

derson was read ;
Savannah Ga., Sept, 12th, 1876.
Hon. John E. Donalson, )
Mayor of Bainbridge, j
Dear Sir:—Your esteemed favor of the
11th, tendering in behalf of the citizens
of Bainbridge, aid to the sick and desti
tute of Savannah, is just at hand and I
thank you for the kind sympathy therein
expressed. At the time of my telegram
to Mr. Wilder, Mayor of Albany, under
date of Sept. 6th, supplies for the sick
were considered ample, but in the inter
val the fever has increased and we are now
in need of help. Poultry, eggs, grits,
meal and vegetables, and if it can oe bad,
money will be most acceptable. The ac
counts yesterday were not encouraging.
The disease has passed over into the South
western portion of the city where there is
a densely packed population composed of
the poorer classes c ' our people. The pre
ponderance of the deaths from yellow fe
ver, thus far, has been among children
and young persons. Any supplies you
distemper." From „b.~. .hi. lime .be ''VSltSi
yellow fever has been endemic in the
West Indies, It was unknown at Cartha-
genia and along the coast until 1729, when
it committed great havoc. In 1740 it first
appeared at Guayaquil, since which time
it has often appeared in all the towns on
the coast of the American Continent.
Vera Cruz and Havana may be regarded
as the nursery of the yellow fever; and
from March to September or October the
disease rages among Europeans, newly
arrived, like a pestilence.

on the 6th inst., the following resolution
was offered and adopted:

Whereupon a committee was appointed
composed of B. M. Beach, L M. Rosen-
feld, E. J. Morgan. H. B. Ehrlich and J.
A. Butts to solicit contributions. That
committee went to work and in a short
while raised and forwarded to Col. An
derson one hundred and five dollars and
sixty cents. They beg leave to report
also sixtyt wo dollars already sent by the Is
raelites of this city for the sick of Savan
nah. The committee have thought prop
er to name the following gentlemen in the
several districts to aid in the work of rais
ing such supplies as ca'led for in Mayor
Andersens letter, namely : C. J. Munner-

A Serious Charge.
Mr. B. F. Brimberry, the Republican
candidate for Senator in this District,
made a charge, in h ; s speech here Satur
day, against a gentleman of Mitchell
county the correctness of which we desire
to see tested. The charge was that at the
lust election in Mitchell “a good old Bap
tist Deacon was one of the managers,” and
that he sa i c him eat up at leart a hundred
Republican tickets as they, were handed in at
the polls. Mr. Brimberry made the point
that this manager, whom be described as
a “white haired leader and deacon in the
Baptist church, a man who would soon
cross over the dark river, and who should
have been a better man,” acted as a ‘Billy
got” in eating up these tickets, and in
doing so that he, “this good old Baptist
Deaconcommitted perjury. Mr Brim-
berry was asked on the stand for the name
of the person referred ta He refused to
give the same in public, but promised to
giye it afterwards. He did so, and named
Mr. Ace Joiner as the man.
Now Mr. Joiner is a man well and fa
vorably known by many of our citizens,
and there has been considerable doubt
felt and expressed at the correctness of
Mr. Brimberry’s assertion. To do what
r is charged against him would he perjury,
and those who know Mr. Joiner have
great reason for believing Mr. B's remark
a misstatement. At any rate, we would
like to hear evidence from Mitchell coun
ty on the subject, other than Mr. Brim
berry.
If we are not mistaken Mr, Joiner
not the man who would be guilty of such
conduct, and we think the sequel will
show the correctness of our opinion.
