Yellow Fever; Absolute Protection Secured by Scientific Quarantine

"Yellow Fever; Absolute Protection Secured by Scientific Quarantine," is the title of a 50-page pamphlet by Wolfred Nelson, C. M., M. D., Member of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Quebec, Canada, Correspondent State Board of Health, California, etc. The author has been connected with the Board of Health in the State of Panama, and has had practical experience in yellow fever. He contends that Cuba and the Isthmus of Panama are constant menaces to the United States, as yellow fever is there to abide. The only means of prevention is scientific quarantine; and he recommends as the really ideal quarantine that evolved by Dr. Joseph Holt, of New Orleans. The work is written in an interesting style, and contains information worthy of consideration. Published by the author, 32 Nassau Street, New York.
