Description:Excerpt from An Address From a Special Committee of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, to the Medical Societies of the United States: Concerning the Dangers to Which the Country Is Exposed by the Ineffectual Methods of Quarantine of Its Ports, and in Regard to the Necessity of National Control of Maritime QuarantineSummary. - Under the present system of local and independent maritime quarantine, the necessary quarters for the detention of large numbers of immigrants arriv ing in a suspected vessel, are either entirely wanting, or, if at hand, are deficient in equipment or administration or both. It is possible, however, that one port well governed and rich from prosperous commerce, may make up these deficiencies; yet what would this avail even to that com munity itself, if a neighboring port, only a few hours distant by rail, failed to exclude epidemic diseases. The front door might be doubly barred and bolted, but the enemy would find an easy passage through the defence less rear. As recent examples thereof may be instanced the danger of an epidemic of yellow fever to which the little town of Biloxi, in Mississippi, exposed in 1886 not only the interior States but even the city of New Orleans itself, now apparently so well protected by her own system of maritime quarantine; and that to which, in 1887, the defenceless condition of the small port of Tampa, in Florida, exposed not only that State but others.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
