Why Vsllow Fever Kills So Many, v
"If I can get liolil of yellow fever the first day," he said, "1 can save all but about 2 per cent bf the casc!^. Neglect hns always been the cause of most of tbe deaths in yellow fever cases."
At Aguascallocte*; Jlexico, several years ago there were at one time 30,- 000 cases of snmilpox out of a popu¬ lation of about 0O,r,0O. Deaths wero at the rate of 000 or 700 n day. I
