Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of Commission of Medical Officers: Detailed by Authority of the President to Investigate He Cause of Yellow Fever The Secretary Of The Treasury. Sir: I have the honor to invite your attention to the announcement of Dr. Guiseppe Sanarelli, of Montevideo, who alleges to have discovered the specific cause of yellow fever. The researches leading to this discovery were published first in full in the annals of the Pasteur Institute. On carefully analyzing his results, especially his comparative experiments, one is bound to come to the conclusion that they are the researches bearing the stamp of a painstaking and conscientious observer. It appears more than probable that Dr. Sanarelli has discovered the germ of yellow fever. The claims made by Sanarelli are of such a character that they are difficult to refute, even if there were a desire to do so, by reason of the fact that they are marked with thoroughness and clearness which admits but little question, and although some of the statements made with regard to the etiology and pathology and prophylaxis of yellow fever are in striking contrast with the present preconceived notions, they are not sufficient to invalidate his claims. Should his alleged discovery prove to be true, it is one of the greatest boons which has been given to the world since Koch announced the cause of tuberculosis and of cholera, and may now make it possible to apply even more successful measures in the prevention and treatment of yellow fever than of other acutely contagious diseases. The discovery is one of the most vital interest and importance to the United States. More than 20,000,000 of our population live in a section of country which possesses all the natural conditions for the disease to become epidemic if once introduced. To prevent this the Government is compelled to maintain large and numerous quarantine establishments for the purpose of guarding against its introduction, and entailing expenses and hardship upon our maritime commerce. By this discovery it seems more than probable that many of the restrictions now imposed may be dispensed with, since it is possible to deal with a known entity. With these possibilities in view it would seem advisable to send an expert to investigate and confirm the claims of Dr. Sanarelli in order that the advantages of this alleged discovery may be made available to the people.
