HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1878-09-27, Page 61 4_ tt; Stricken Memphis. A Cleveland Physician tells ofthe Doomed City. A Terrible Tale of Death and Desolation. • Dr. E. E. Barton, Of Cleveland, who returned from Memphis a few days sinee,Nias visited by a Herald reporter Friday, and gives the following ac- count of his experience and observa- tions there : . I started for Memphis Tuesday, September 3rd, for the purpose of at- tending the sick there. My object was to stay there, and, I was assigned to duty, having thirty-eix patients under my care. Istayed tkere but a -few days, however. 1 Dr. Mitchell, of the the Oward Association, hearing that I -was totally unacelimated, insisted that 1 slionla go home, as it was certain death for me to stay, and I would only be an added. expense to them by sick- - mess and burial. :So I finally conclud- ed to return. In "going down I left Cin- cinnati in company with other volun- teers, , nurses aud physicians, all of whom were going to 'Memphis. For .a distance of 150 utiles from Memphis no one boarded or left the train. It is a; queer feeling onel experiences when he enters the plague stricken city. He feels as though he were entering a prison from which he should never more emerge. The cities for hundreds of Miles in either direction from it are quarantined, and who enters the do- minion of the pestilence is surely cut off from the world. Over the entrance to the city could well be written: 'Leave hope behind, all ye who: enter here.' Memphie looks like a, city of the dead. The. places of business are closed; the streets deserted, and hard- ly a person- is seen upon the streets. Yet Memphis does not look gloomy. The sun shines brightly' upon its beau- tiful gtmets • the air seems sweet and pure ; the earth is green with vegeta- tion, and the flowers show no _signs of the eaistence of the plague. It is only when, the great wagons, immense racks, loaded with coffins, go rumbling by: when I one encounters men in the streets making rough wooden boxes for the dead; when a dray loaded with coffined corpses passes us, that we are remind- ed of the presence of the terrible scourge. -Upon our arrival in the city I took ap ray residence at the Peabody Hotel, the headquerters of the Howard. Association. It is one of the finest ho- tels in the city. It is -well supplied -with colored. help, waiters and cooks. There are a number of sick at the °ho- tel. The number Of physicians and nurses is totally inadequate to [the ne- cessities of the occasion. Hundreds of negroes and poor whites fall sick and die without afttenclance. The places' of bUsiness, with the exception of three ler four, are closed. Those that are open pay their clerks high salaries. to rem' in with them. In one store seven cle ks were prostrated in one day. But ew drug stores are open, and it is diffi ult to obtain a sufficient amount of drngs. All who have inoney have left the city. The houses are deserted. The people fled panic-stricken. Many of them failed to lock their houses when they went away, and. maDy left half -eaten noels, the tables uncleared, and every- thing as it had been left when drop- ped. The majority of the people left in the city are negroes and poor whites, who are unable to leave. " The work of nursing the sick. is di- vided up, each physician and nurse be- ing assigned to so many -wards. The nurses work day and night. The phy- sicians labor from six in the morning to seven in the evening. But little work is done at night, as it is consider- ed the raost dangerous time. In the middle of the day the sun is extremely hot, and to one who is maacclimated it is like an oven. This is considered the safest part of the •day, and the farmers from the neighboring districts come in- to the town with their produce without fear. But .the nights-, are cool and ' dainp, and the malaria, rises from the reeking pavement and fastensits deadly graspupon the unprotected. The phy- siciaus who can do so generally spend the night in the country. The second night of my stay in. Memphis I started. out with a friend to findak place to sleep. We started about eight o'clock out the Hernando road.. Thwas a clear night and the - moonlight shone bril- liantly over the fields white -with cot- ton. Along the roadside wee the tents of those who had. fled. into the country to escape the fever. They had camped down anywhere, im the[fields and , woods. Many of them had een taken down with tee fever after caving the city, aud from the depths of the forest we eould hear through the stillness of the night the maniacal. shrieks and yells of the delirious victiins of the scourge, who are dying here without attendance. i "1. the,city the work of caring for the sick and burying the dead is carried on like cleelswork. A victim dies and his body is immediately wrapped in a sheet, put into a box, the cover screwed down, and the remains taken off to be buried. No funeral is held, unless per- haps some friends read the burial ser- vice or a prayer over the rough coffin as it goes into the hastily dug hole. Night and day the burial goes on, and as one idnight, ,coffined he negro d spades march by in single file with a steady tramp that somehow seems to sink in- fo the very heazt of,the listenpr, and he turns to his couch with the, sickening feeling that he may perhaps be the next to require their services. At the cemetery the dead come anal are piled up awaiting their turn to be interred. They fill graves faster than the negroes can dig them, and they mein to come in with a sort of rivalry as to who shall be buried first. There are Many cases where the Degrees die without medical }attendance or nursing. They have , a peculiar horror of the hospital, and as soon as they get sick crawl off to some out of the way place and die. I was Once called upon to attend the removal ot the body of a negro who had. crawled into the shed in the rear of a house and died, and lay there until his decompos- ing body became unbearable to the family in the house, nearly all of whom - were down with the fever. "Rations are served out to the poor people daily. They were served out in- discriminately at first, but the lazy blacks, leaving their cotton fields I111 - attended. in the -country, flocked into the town and. lived on the Government : rations and the supplies of the Howard Association. It was found best to serve rations only to those who had. sick persous in their families. • "The streets are sprinkled daily THE HURON E:iPOS with carbolic acid to disinfect them. I think the fever in Memphis is due largely to the Nicholson pavement used there and the filthy bayou just back of the city. Into this i bayou, instead. of into the river, the city has been drained, and for years there it has lain a stagnant, rotting hole, breeding the seeds of disease and death. When the fever first came to Memphisthey pump- ed out this bayou, which was the worst thing that could be done; as it only stirred up and. spread. the malaria, -which is the prime cause of yellow fever. "1. the hospitals the mortality has averaged seventy-five per, cent., and. among the people fifty per cent. of the sick have died. There are about 4,- 000 siek in the city at the present time. Dr. Mitchell has written. to New York ordering 1,000 coifing, as the city can- not supply them fast churches are closed, an municipal or executive bo ingsession. The papers, enough. The d none of the dies are hold- .heAppeal and Avalanche, are running with but few printers, and hardly any of the editorial or reportorial z staff left. The mails ruin regularly and two telegraph offices are open. The Telegraph Company has offered $150 per month, and. a guaran- tee of a position for five years, to any operator who will take a position at Memphis. . "tin the treatment of the disease the object is to keep the patient" in a con- tinued perspiration for twenty-four or' thirty-six hours, after which, if the pa- tient is kept quiet, he may possibly be saved. He must make no exertion, however. Merely turning over in the bed has killed many a man. The black voinit is not always attendant upon the disease, but it is generally the token of death. " Ex -Governor Harris, of Tennessee, Whom I met on the train, told me that this would be a terrible blow to the business of the city, freni• which it will rs to recover." arton is a graduate of Wooster School, and has for some years tudent with Dr. D. B. Smith. He sfiites that he 4oes ' not know Whether be will have the feyer or not, but that he has had premonitory syraP- tcmas of the disease and is tiging preven- tive medicines which he thinks will stave it off.-etehaland Herald.

' The combats and communications of ants are among the most interesting arid mysterious phenol:Liana. The Bev. H. C. McCook has given an account to the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia of some experiments he has made to determine whaf is the 'mode of recognition among ants. He has studied the pavement ants (Tetra - ?writ cO(ispitum), which he -has* ob- served engaged in continued combat for over a fortnight, the warriors being only the workers or neuters. There is no distinguishable difference between the ants of the fighting parties, yet they recognise each other infallibly as friend or foe. They challenge all comers with their antenno3 ; if they aro friends, they pass ou ; if foes, they straightway inter- lock and "fall to." Sometimes many ants are congregated against one, which is being torn limb from limb. Mr. McCook surmised. tha.trecognition was based upon a certain odor emitted by the respective factions. He found that if they were enveloped in an odor of eau -de -cologne, while not at all de- prived of activity, all became harmoni- ous; those who were previously en- gaged in battle unclasped one another, and they went on for several days amicsikbly feeding, burrowing, and build- ing. The same experiment was tried on th,e carpenter ants, which behead their enemies; their hostile proceed- ings were not stopped by eau -de -co- logne. 1, LI At. • CAM RON, HOLT 8 Honors in M. 0: crneron, Q.

Rev. F. B. Stratton, Dem- orestville, writes: "1 have fottnd your re- medies particularly beneficial for liver complaint, dyspepsia and bronchial affections, and would advise all similarly affected to give them Intrial." John Finlayson, Athol, says: When travelling one of my feet got sore and broke out. I could not cure it, and had to return home. It became better and afterwaeds much worse. I finally parr chased a bottle of the Remedy and a box of Pills. and before they were half gone I commenced to improve, and before they were finished my foot was completely cured. It is now 17 months, since, but have had no further attack." Price of the Remedy in pint bottles, $1. Pills, 25 cents a box. 522. 1•1"TIRJA-T__;', LAI D LAW & FA I R LEY, S EAFO RTH.
