Werbal communication from Prof. L. O. Howard, Entomologist to the United States Department of Agriculture. 20 LIEUTENANT JAMES CARROLL. It would not be unreasonable to suspect that yellow fever was known to the ancients. In bis catalogiie of diseases that Hippocrates knew, Le Clerc' mentions one in which there was *'burning^ fever witb vomiting- of blood andg^reat lossof blood bj stool." John Miliar,* a careful and skilled observer, whose writ- ings have been much quoted, wrote in the early par...t of the eighteenth Century: "A fever prevailed among the soldiers and sailors employed in the West Indies from the year 1744 to 1748. It was similar to that described by Hippocrates, Willis, Sydenham, Morton, Diemerbroeck and Sir John Pringle. It began in the middle of autumn and disappeared about the middle of winter." "Hippocrates described a remittent fever occurring in Greece, of which there were thirty-five cases and fourteen deaths. His treatment was simple domestic management." Prospero Alpinus who wrote about the beginning of the seventeenth Century, describes a fatal epidemic fever that pre- vailed at Alexandria in Egypt during the hottest months of the year.' It began with nausea, great sickness of the stom- ach, extraordinary inquietude, and a vomiting of an acrid bile; many had bilious and putrid stools.
