39 YELLOW FEVER IN PHILADELPHIA, 1853, WITH STATISTICS (CONTINUED). [Read before the College of Physicians, October 5, 1853.] In accordance with our original intention, we present to the College a continuation of the cases of yellow or malignant fever that have occurred in our city during the past summer. The tabular form, which we have adopted for convenience and reference, will be found to contain all cases reported to the Board of Health, together with others not reported, in addition to those already published in the Transactions. At a former meeting of the College, we presented an account of cases, up to August 31, in tabular form, complete as far as practicable; but expressed a doubt as to our having secured an entire list. Since then, we have come into possession of other cases that happened during August, but which had not been made public. This will account for an apparent discrepancy in the table now offered, by the inser- tion of cases as early as August 7, but which are not to be found in the table inserted in the October number of the Transactions, which proposes to include all cases to August 31. We have taken some pains in order to secure a complete list, and feel assured that while we may have failed to make out a perfect statistical account of every case that wore the livery of a malignant type of fever, we have been able to record, not only every case of death from yellow or malignant fever, but also those cases of recovery in which there was no hesitation in deciding their true character. There have been, doubtless, cases that presented many of the symptoms of yellow fever in the forming stage, but which, in a few days, yielding to a judicious treatment, were not reported. The genuine character of others, again, being questioned, it was not deemed prudent to report doubtful cases; while some few practitioners, either from indifference, or else questioning the authority of the Board of Health to require reports of malignant cases of disease, or, taking the position of its entire uselessness, have not reported at all. 40 The exceptions, however, we believe to have been too few to alter materially the statistical results. The whole number of cases registered from July 19 (when the first case occurred), to October 7, the date of the last case, a period of two months and nineteen days, has reached the total of 170. An examination of the records of the Board of Health will show that the cases reported were not, in every instance, under the name of yellow fever; the greater part of them have been designated as malignant bilious, malignant, pernicious, typhus icterodes, &c. The deaths have been 128, equivalent to 1 in every 1.42 hun- dredths, or 75 per cent, of the whole. A fearful mortality. Had every case that wore the aspect of a malignant type of fever been recorded, the list of cases would have been increased, while the percentage of deaths would have presented a more favorable appearance. We have made no attempt to calculate the proportion of cases, or even of deaths, to the population in the infected district. The information required for anything like an accurate estimate could not have been readily obtained. All we can offer is, that the population involved was by no means a crowded one. The resi- dent population of that locality where the first nineteen cases occurred, bounded by the south side of South Street, the west side of Little Water Street, Lombard Street, and the Delaware front, does not exceed one hundred. The whole of the district where the fever prevailed, to which we have ascribed limits, ex- tending from Union Street north, to Queen Street south, Second Street west, and the Delaware on the east, does not by any means contain an excess of inhabitants. We may conclude, then, with some degree of correctness, that the disease was not sustained by an over-crowded population. The whole neighborhood, how- ever, may be considered as favorable to the production and nour- ishment of malarious fevers, in view of its proximity to the river docks, the open sewer at South Street wharf, the damp cellars, filthy alleys, and other local causes of disease, under such a long- continued high thermometrical atmosphere, as prevailed during the months of July, August, and September. That of July being 77.14 degrees, about two degrees above the average mean for many years; August, 76.76, or nearly four degrees above 41 the common average for that month, according to Dr. Swift's review of the weather, published in the Medical News. While the disease in general has been confined to narrow limits, a few cases of genuine yellow fever have originated beyond the boundaries, between which and the infected district no direct communication could be traced. It is proper, however, to ob- serve, that in several of these cases there was, either by a resi- dence, or through business operations, more or less communication with the wharves along the Delaware front. Of the 170 cases, 147 may be traced directly to the infected locality, or its immediate vicinity. Twenty-two are of doubtful or unknown origin; while in one instance, that of Matthias Petti- grew, the disease was contracted at the Lazaretto station, where he had been at work on board the ship Caledonia Brander, from New Orleans* One hundred and eighteen of all the cases reported were treated in private practice ; twenty-four at the Pennsylvania Hospital; eighteen at the Blockley Hospital; seven at the Bush Hill, or City Hospital; and three at St. Joseph's, on Green Hill. In no instance can it be shown that the disease has spread from those laboring under the fever. At the Pennsylvania Hospital, the yellow fever cases were intermixed in wards with numerous other patients, some ill, and others convalescing from disease, but not an individual, either among the patients, nurses, or visitors, contracted the fever. The like immunity was observed with the cases treated in the Blockley, St. Joseph's, and Bush Hill Hos- pitals. In private practice, although numerous cases were at- tended away from the infected portion of the city, we have yet to learn that the disease, in a single instance, was propagated from the sick to the well, although there was an unrestrained inter- course between the patients and their immediate friends. The only case that bears any resemblance whatever to the dis- ease being communicated from patient to attendant, is that of Daniel Shanachan's wife. These people resided in North Front Street, near Callowhill, full a mile and a half north of South Street, but within a few rods of the Delaware front. No history could be obtained from Daniel as to where he contracted his dis- * This vessel had yellow fever on board when she arrived. 42 ease, as he was in a dying condition when first seen. His busi- ness, however, was to put coal in cellars, in various parts of the city. He died on the 30th of September with black vomit, after six days' illness. His wife, Mary Shanachan, who took care of him, sickened on the 28th, four days after her husband, and died in the City Hospital, on the 1st of October, with black vomit. The examination of her body, after death, left no doubt as to the genuine character of her disease. This woman declared that, so far from visiting the vicinity of South Street, she had not even crossed the threshold of her own door for several weeks, having a family of small children around her. The room she occupied, the third story front of an unfinished warehouse, was very filthy, but large, and by no means confined. The whole upper part of the building was rented out, in rooms, to different families of the low order of Irish; everything around presenting poverty, rags, and filth. This case of Mary Shanachan is one of those that the advocates for contagion would readily seize upon to sustain their peculiar views; but a careful review of all the circumstances that enter into its history, will set at rest the least suspicion that the wife contracted the disease from her husband. On the 22d of the same month (September), Michael Palmer, residing in Willow Street, two doors west of Front Street, and about one square north of Shanachan's residence, was taken ill with yellow fever. This man unhesitatingly declared that he was not acquainted with the lower part of the city; did not know that he had ever been in the vicinity of South Street wharf; was a shoemaker; worked in Front Street above Noble, and was not in the habit of going anywhere else, but from his shop to his residence in Willow Street. He had no knowledge of Shana- chan's family. The question will be asked, where did Palmer contract his fever ? Not from contagion, nor from a visit to the infected district, but from a residence in the immediate vicinity of Willow Street wharf, where the culvert along Pegg's Run empties into the Delaware, which outlet, at low tide, is fully exposed, and where at all times there is a large deposit of putrefying vegetable and animal remains. This state of things, with the intense heat of the weather, aided, in all probability, by an epidemic influence stealthily creeping along the wharves from the infected locality, was doubtless the cause, not only of Palmer's sickness, but also 43 Shanachan's, as he must have passed this culvert daily, on his way to the coal-yards at Noble and Green Street wharves, where he was in the habit of obtaining employment. His wife, no doubt, contracted her disease from the same source of infection, as her statement was not confirmed, that she had not been out for weeks; and if it had been, she was sufficiently near to have inhaled the poisoned atmosphere without absenting herself from home. Had it been from a contagious principle emanating from her hus- band's person, the general period allotted for the process of incu- bation had not expired before she was taken sick, on the fourth day after her husband. And under the circumstances in which the house and the several families occupying it, in all their filth, were situated, we should certainly have looked for other cases of fever, there being free and direct intercourse between all the inmates. Not another case, however, happened within these pre- mises. Hence, we conclude that the origin of Mary Shanachan's fever is as fully established as that of her husband and Palmer's; that contagion played no part in the drama; but that a miasmatic constitution of the atmosphere existed in that vicinity, from the inhalation of which these individuals contracted the fever, result- ing in the death of two of them. Ninety of all the cases were accompanied with black vomit; equal to 53 per cent. Of these, all died except four, viz. John Reehil, aged 20; Ellen Parr, aged 20; Mrs. Lindsay, aged 28; and James Sweeny, aged 12. The genuineness of the discharge in Ellen Parr's case has been doubted, as stated in a former com- munication. As black vomit has generally been considered to be a fatal symptom in yellow fever, we should always have some hesitation in relying upon the evidence of recovery after it has occurred, however high the authority from which the statement comes, unless the matter has been carefully submitted to the field of the microscope, and blood corpuscles found therein. The sexes suffered nearly alike from the effects of the fever; the preponderance, however, being on the side of the males. Ninety-three of the cases on record were males, and seventy-seven were females. A large proportion of those attacked were foreigners, viz. 102. Of these, 62 were born in Ireland, 19 in Germany, 18 in England, 44 1 in Scotland, 1 in France, and 1 in Spain. The remainder (68) were natives of the United States. The colored population appear to have been specially exempt from the disease. We have not on record a single case, nor could we learn of any black person having had the fever. This supposed immunity of the colored race from attacks of yellow fever has been elsewhere observed; but in the fever of 1793, in this city, Dr. Rush says, " they took the disease in common with the white people."* The duration of the attack in those who died was from two to twenty-four days. The mean was a fraction less than six days. But few children appear to have had the disease. Under ten years of age there were only six. One of these, Rudolph West- hold, was but three weeks old. This child survived until the twenty-fourth day. Its father died on the sixth, and its mother on the fourth day of their disease. Another child, aged nine years, of the same family, recovered. William Hawkes worth, aged four months, died after one day's illness. It had nursed its mother until within two days of her death, she having died of the fever, at the Pennsylvania Hospital, on the sixth day of her attack. It may not be improper to notice here, that several cases of yellow fever have occurred in Camden, New Jersey, opposite the city, in individuals who contracted the disease from having inter- course with the vicinity of South Street wharf, by crossing at the ferry. One case also happened in Woodbury, N. J., in the person of a young man, who had been on a visit to the city, and who crossed the river from the South Street Ferry. Among the certificates of death to be found on record at the Health Office, is one of malignant bilious fever, dated Bridesburg, September 27, and another, dated Tacony, October 24, from malignant fever. Of these we have taken no notice in the table, they not having been attended in the city or districts. Another circumstance, proper to allude to, because a matter of record, and may be noticed in another place, is, that on searching the register of deaths at the Health Office, we find a certificate of May 17, 1853, of death from pernicious fever; and another, * Rush's Works, vol. iii. p. 151. 45 signed by the same physician, of June 20, 1853, from pernicious fever. After the strictest inquiry of the gentleman who attended these cases, we are satisfied that neither of them bore any re- semblance whatever to the disease in question, nor did either of them occur anywhere in the neighborhood of South Street wharf. Moreover, we should deem it decidedly wrong, from our know- ledge of these cases, to attempt to establish the fact, that isolated cases of yellow fever existed in our city as early as May and June, founded upon the evidence of these certificates. The increase of deaths from all causes in our city for the last three months, over those for the same period in 1852, has been equal to 7 per cent. ;* but, as we have shown in our published statistics of mortality, the deaths from endemic, or contagious, zymotic, or epidemic diseases, for the last three months, have only exceeded those in 1852, for the like quarter, by nineteen. It may, therefore, be safely inferred that, although there has been an increase of 7 per cent, in the total of deaths for the third quar- ter of 1853, over the total in the like period of 1852, the per- centage has not been caused by an increase of deaths from the zymotic or epidemic class, in which fevers are included, but must have been from other causes of a general character. * Medical Examiner for 185?. 46 6 Name.
