           YELLOW FEVER IN ANSON COUNTY
   MR. J. WHITE (son of COL. WHITE) having returned to this county on a visit, 
was attacked with fever which his physicians were at first disposed to believe 
a relapse of congestive remittant fever which he had imperfectly recovered 
from before leaving Camden, Ark., but in the progress and termination of the 
case, they do not hesitate to say that they, or any other physicians, who met 
with the case in a locality where yellow fever was epidemic, the case would 
have unhesitatingly pronounced yellow fever. We think, but for the feeble 
condition of MR. WHITE'S health, he would have recovered. Persons in that 
vicinity and those kind friends who were present with us during his sickness, 
need have little apprehension as to the disease spreading, as it is rarely 
contagious except in localities where there is present an epidemic influence.
