It is pleasing to state that with the sole exception above noted, there were no other rumors of suspicious sickness, nor disturbances of individual or community comfort, which by natural agitation of the subject could produce commercial un rest and loss. It is worthy of note that each year Witnesses a less tendency on the part of the people of the State to ih dulge in yellow fever talk, and it is especially gratifying to further observe that gossip about the health of communities is frowned upon and suppressed. At the same time, an in creased interest in sanitation and hygiene is being manifested, and the health authorities listened to and advice heeded. It is to be regretted, therefore, that the influence of any health organization beyond the State limits Should tend to a distrust of the constituted health authorities by acts which create suspicion and uneasiness on the part of the citizens.
