ALKS YELLOW FEVER.
Mr. F. Reynolds of Nejr Orleans Passes
Through.
From Macon Telcgruab, 26th Inst.
A man twenty-four days from New
Orleans, and who had a severe case of
yellow fever one month ago, was in
Macon yesterday. He was Mr. R. F.
Reynolds, division freight agentof the
Illinois Central and Yazoo and Missis¬
sippi River railroad companies with
headquarters in New Orleans. He is
a brother-in-law of Messrs. Holmes
and Frank Johnson of Macon, and is
well-known here, where his family
spends each summer. Mr. Reynolds
brought his wife and children to Macon
as usual in the middle of September
this year and returned immediately to
his office in New Orleans. When ho
reached that city lie noticed that lie
had a headache and fever, hut went a
whole day without giving up. At
supper time his physician was called
in. A big dose of castor oil was ad¬
ministered and Mr. Reynolds was put
to bed. The fever remained with him
live days and was pronounced a very
severe type, hut at no time was he
frightened. After the fifth day the
fever abated, hut the kidneys were
slightley affected. This made the
physician uneasy, hut the trouble
passed away in a short time and Mr.
Reynolds was kept in his bed until the
morning of the eleventh day, when he
got up and went hack to his work, re¬
joicing that lie had been through with
tiie malady which has caused so many
panics in the cities where it makes its
appearance.
Mr. Reynolds said to a Telegraph
reporter last night that lie will not he
likely to have the fever again, no
matter how often lie is exposed to it
as a person who lias a good case rarely
lias another. In speaking of the con¬
ditions in Macon he said:
“If a case of fever were to break
in the same block where my family
was located in Macon I would not he
alarmed, because the climate is to cool
here for the germs to propagate.
They could live in the body which
they had attacked in a warmer climate,
even if brought to Macon hut they
could not get from that body to an¬
other after reaching such a climate as
you have in Macon. Our doctors in
New Orleans say fever cannot spread
very much in a climate where the
temperature does not go above 70, and
the germs will not spread at all where
the thermometer runs below 70 de¬
grees. The germs attacks people just
about like caterpillars do cotton.
They clean up one field at a time usu¬
ally before going further, and if cold
weather catches them they can’t go
further.
“No, I would not run if I had to
face it again. The reason tiie coming
of tiie fever cause such panics among
tiie people is because when we know
less about it we were inclined to be¬
lieve that a person could not get well of
it. As a matter of fact, not 10 per cent
of the patient die nowadays, I believe.
New Orleans will not have another
epidemic ill fifty years. We always
have one or two cases brought in there
each year year from the Central
American countries, hut they are
stamped out in slioit order, and our
sanitary regulations are such that it
will hardly be able to thrive in New
Orleans again in a long time.
“The only danger that void weather
causes to a suffer from the fever is
just as would be the case in measles;
if the nurses dont understand how to
regulate the ventilation of the room
the patient is likely to catcli cold.”
Mr. Reynolds went hack to New
Orleans this morning. He left his
family at Clinton, in Jones county,
where he himself has spent a week.

From the Signal.
Certain anti-prohibition papers have
been circulating the statement that
Mrs. Greener, the woman who, as a
young bride induced her husband to
change his vote in tiie Kansas legisla¬
ture, and thus secured to the State its
prohibitory law, now expresses her re¬
gret at having done so, and in view of
the failure of prohibition, would dis¬
own her relationship to that law. De¬
siring to learn what Mrs. Greener her¬
self had to say in the matter, the
Union Signal sent to that lady a letter
of inquiry concerning the authenticity
of the report. Her reply was: 1 am
the mother of prohibition in Kansas,
and I assure yon am very proud of the
fact, the liquor organs to the contrary,
notwithstanding. Satan lias always
been the father of lies, and his ser¬
vants up to date, are not one whit be¬
hind their master at. tiie business. I
feel wonderfully honored to think that
it was ever in my power to strike such
a blow for temperance.

MOTHER! There of word tender meaning so is and full no
jynd about which such
holy recollections cluster as that
of “ Mother ”—she who watched
over our helpless infancy and guid¬
ed our first tottering step. Yet
the life of every Expectant Moth¬
er is beset with danger and all ef¬
fort should be made to avoid it.
Mother's so assists nature
in the change tak¬
ing place that
Friend the Expectant
Mother is ena¬
bled to look for-
ward without
dread, suffering or gloomy fore¬
bodings, to the hour when she
experiences the joy of Motherhood.
Its use insures safety to the lives
of both Mother and Child, and she
is found stronger after than before
confinement—in short, it “makes
Childbirth natural and easy,” as
so many have said. Don’t be
persuaded to use anything but
