Yellow Fever and Alcohol

The physicians of Jacksonville, Florida, have publicly made the statement that "yellow fever strikes fatally persons of alcoholic habits." Two-thirds of the fatality is due to the use of strong drink before being attacked by the fever. It is frequently remarked in Jacksonville that yellow fever is the best temperance lecturer the city has ever had.
