YELLOW FEVER
Dr. A.
Mercier, stepped into the office of The
Board Of Health on Saturday morning, and
stated that he had been invited by
another physician to look at a case of
yellow fever, that of a child born in
new Orleans, and which had never left
the city. He had seen the child and
found that it was suffering from a
severe case of malarial fever, although
it was reported at the office of the
Board Of Health as a yellow fever case.
Dr.
Mercier states that he has practiced
here since 1841. In 1853, while in
charge of the New Orleans Infirmary, he
had 350 cases at one time in that
institution, therefore he thinks he has
some experience, but he declares most
emphatically that he has never yet seen
a child, born here and residing here all
the time, attacked by yellow fever.
CHARITY

Eleven
new cases since last report and two

to disinfect the premises, met with such
resistance. om the part of the occupants
they were forced to retire.
He
reported the fact to Dr. Choppin,
president of the Board Of Health, who
ordered that an affidavit be made
against the parties.

INCREASE
IN THE FEVER EXPLAINED
The
ostensible increase of new cases of
yellow fever at 134 on Wednesday, at 12
m. is not considered by the health
authorities a real increase of the
proportion, but is ascribed to the fact
that a number of physicians reported the
accumulated cases of several days. One
physician on Tuesday afternoon,
presented a report of 21 cases,
extending over a period of nearly a
week. On Thursday morning but 22 cases
had been reported at the office of the
