Rev. " April, 1854. THE YELLOW FEVER. 603 6. Tents, boarclecl slicds, and temporary hospitals slionld be so separated from each other as to admit of the most free circulation of air in every direction. The prophylactic influence of hark or quinine has long been ob- served during service in unhealthy countries, and in our Conti- nental wars ; but nowhere more emphatically than on the West Coast of Africa. Donald Monro mentions the use of bark in Hun- gary, as a prophylactic against fevers, so fa...r back as 1717 ; and it was so used by our army surgeons on the Continent in 1713. *^ In the Kodli Star" says Dr. Bryson, twenty men and one officer were employed on boat duties at Sierra Leone ; they all took wine and bark with the exception of the officer ; he was the only person who suffered an attack of fever. Two boats were detached from the llijdra, in 1 8 14, to examine the Sherbro river ; the whole of the men were supplied Avith bark and wine, and not one of them Avas taken ill, while the whole of the gig's crew, with the exception of the captain, who were similarly exposed for two days only without being supplied with either, contracted fever of a dangerous character.
