58 YELLOW FEVER PROPHYLAXIS IN NEW ORLEANS 



To-morrow at 10.30, the churches have arranged for an hour of prayer, when all 

 denominations will meet at the Y.M.C.A. Hall and ask God's blessing on the heroic 

 work of the men and women of this fair City. All ministers, irrespective of their 

 creeds and denominations, are urged to join in this union prayer service and to ask 

 their congregations to attend. 



Last night marked the close of the third week of the work of Dr. Beverley Warner 

 and his volunteer department. When asked for a summary of the situation up to 

 date, Dr. Warner said : — 



" We are beginning to see very clearly the effects of the work accomplished both by 

 the Marine Hospital Service and by the Volunteer Organizations. The fever is not as 

 rampant as we would have expected from the first reports at the end of July. This is 

 owing, first, to the preparatory work done by the City ; second, and of most import- 

 ance, of course, to the careful and faithful efforts of the Marine Hospital Service, 

 under the direction of Dr. White. 



" The public is already reassured, and, to judge from the evidence of the mass 

 meetings are not only interested in the discussions, but are impressed more- and more 

 with the mosquito theory. The most important event of the week was the adding of 

 Dr. Juan Guiteras to the ranks of the volunteer speakers. This will give the people in 

 all sections of the City an opportunity of seeing and hearing Dr. Guiteras. It is the 

 universal verdict that he carries conviction of the truths he advocates. 



" We close the week with a feeling of enlarged hope and greater courage." 



Garlick, the billposter, has done a unique thing, and one that appeals to Dr. 

 Warner as a splendid contribution to the great cause, and that is the piinting of several 

 thousand large posters, in red ink, telling in a word of tte absolute proof of the 

 mosquito theory, and urging the people to fumigate and carry out the mandates of the 

 Federal authorities. These posters were sent all over the City and placed on the 

 Garlick boards free of charge.
