And in considering the death rate of the South for the past twenty years it must be remembered that two of the most fatal diseases of that sectionyellow fever and malariawere not understood until recently. The last yellowfever outbreak was in 1905. and it was thoroughly demonstrated then that this former scourge could be readily controlled and that there is no longer any reason for alarm about it. Scientists have also shown our people how to prevent malaria by screening their houses against mosquitoes. and also that common disease bearer. the house fly. No intelligent immigrant from Europe or the North need have any greater fear of sickness In the South than he is subject to at home. A thoroughly reliable. disinterested. and competent witness on this subject is Dr. Walter Wynman.
