In regard to sanitition Dr. Van Bibber’s
suggestions are wise, and in this respect
the city of Louisville should bestir herself.
Last summer she opened her gates to the
flying refugees when all others were barred
against them. The generosity was praise-
worthy. but the risk was great. It tne oc-
casion should arise again she should be pre-
pared to be generous without recklessly en-
dangering the lines of her citizens. Not

A Southern Question.
A Southern question that is vastly more
important to the South than any mere mat-
ter of sociology is how to prelent yellow
fever from becoming epidemic. Dr. W.C.
Van Bibber, of Baltimore, has published a
paper read by him before the Baltimore
Academy of Medicine. December 4. 1888.
in w.ichhe suggests measures by which the
danger of yellow fever may be reduced to a
minimum. As a contribution to the litera-
ture of this dreadful destroyer, pr. Van
Bibber’s paper has the merit of brevity
and directness. He writes for the people,
and his suggestions, being grounded upon
an extensive, scientific experience with the
scourge, are eminently practical and wise.
Perhaps the most valuable hints to the
more Northern states ot those embraced in
the yellow fever district, are those in ref-
erence to quarantine regulation. After
pointing out that the present system of
quarantine is widely inadequate for the
protection of cities against the infection of
the yellow fever germ, he proceeds to de-
fine how the sanitary conditions of ap ex-
posed city or town can be rendered such as
to absolutely prevent the development of
disease, even it the germ should pass quar-
antine. He does not argue against the con-
tinuation of rigid quarantine, but rather
against an absolute dependence upon it as
a precautionary measure, and in favor of a
change of methods. Everybody who read
last summer’s current reports of the vexa-
tions and even cruel subjugations to quar-
antine rigorousness Instigated by unreas-
onable fear, and in many cases by ignorance
and incompetence to deal with matters of
such vital importance, will understand that
a reform of quarantine methods is most ur-
gent. In scarcely a state south of the Ohio
is there a board of health organized with
competent powers to act ethciently in cases
of epidemic and consequent panic, and in
none of them is there any humane and ade-
quate system of quarantlLC Such a thing
as interstate quarantine regulation does
not exist and when an emergency arises,
the most extreme and often unnecessary
measures are reverted to for protection

her and made an appointment with

of Mr. Stulwater. After luncheon
Mr Stulwater went out, leaving Laree
and his wife alone together. When he
returned about an hour later he found
the younggirl lying in the corner with
