170 THE YELLOW FEVER CAMPAIGNS 



Strp 9.— APPEAL TO IIOLSEHOLUEKS TO DELAY 

 "MOVING DAY" ON ACCOUNT OF DANGER OF 

 SPREADING INFECTION 



In view of tlie near approach of " JNIoving Day " 

 (October 1) the undersigned deem it tlicir duty to 

 direct your attention to tlie danger hkely to attend 

 a general moving of tenants from house to house. 



Persons moving from infected locahties may later 

 develop the fever in uninfected neighbourhoods, tliereby 

 developing new foci. Others now residing in uninfected 

 houses may contract the disease by removing into 

 houses where mild cases of fever may have occurred 

 and recovered without medical attention, and conse-

 into such houses will almost inevitably contract yellow 

 fever, thereby adding to our present troubles. 



Wq do therefore urge the importance of taking such 

 steps as may be necessary to delay the general movement 

 for at least thirty days.

 from the pupa^ in tlie cisterns. Wq cannot afford, in
