Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed analysis of the 1906 hearings before the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. The committee considered a bill that aimed to expand the powers of the Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service to combat the spread of yellow fever and other contagious diseases. The author provides a historical context for the bill, outlining the challenges faced by the United States in controlling the spread of disease at the turn of the 20th century. The book explores the complex debates over the balance between federal and state authority in public health matters, as well as the scientific and medical knowledge that shaped quarantine practices at the time. Through the examination of witness testimony, expert opinions, and committee deliberations, this book sheds light on the evolution of public health policy in the United States and the ongoing efforts to protect the nation from infectious diseases. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

That agreement worked very well until the first case of yellow fever came. Upon the outbreak of the very first case that agreement went to pieces and was utterly destroyed; and the position to-day, without mincing words, I may say, is one of absolute impossibility as to any sensible agreement with any of the Gulf States upon this Vital question.

Reseña del editor
Mr. Sanders. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, I am going to be as brief as possible on this matter. I will not attempt any flights of oratory, because they are not in me. I want to say, by way of introduction, just one word, to point out the deadly earnestness with which our people in Louisiana view this matter. Our governor would have come along with us in addition to the mayor, but we have chosen 15 of the men, excepting myself of course, gentlemen who represent most of the progress and authority in New Orleans and in Louisiana, and I do not think there is any doubt but that the 14 men here do represent the most important interests in Louisiana and in New Orlans; and, as you know, New Orleans is the biggest city in the South.
I merely mention this to show that these gentlemen have come here at great inconvenience to themselves. We are hoping that we may be able to go back to-night by the earliest train, because, on account of our business at home, it is urgent that we should return home; but we would not have come up here unless we had been impressed with the absolute and pressing necessity for some favorable action upon this bill. This is not a jaunt or junket. There has been no desire for a pleasure trip. On the contrary, it is an expense and a great loss to many of the gentlemen who have come up.
The Chattanooga convention held in November last was, I think, as representative a convention of the Southern States as ever was held. There were present eight or nine governors, and there were present many Congressmen and Senators of the Southern States, and there were large delegations of important business men present. The sole object of that gathering was to discover some means whereby the Southern States could come together on this question of quarantine.
Previous to the outbreak of yellow fever last summer along the Gulf coast there has been an agreement between the four Gulf States - Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama - an agreement between their boards of health as to the amount of quarantine to be imposed and as to methods of quarantine on all foreign commerce. It was an agreement based on good faith - that is to say, if any of the boards of health knew of a case of yellow fever it was to be reported to the other States, the object being to prevent any serious hardship on commerce and to prevent the introduction or transmission of yellow fever from one State to another. For example, if a case came into Mobile, the object was to prevent it from getting into other cities and into other States; and if a case came into New Orleans, the object was to prevent it from getting to Mobile, or Galveston, or any other city.
That agreement worked very well until the first case of yellow fever came. Upon the outbreak of the very first case that agreement went to pieces and was utterly destroyed; and the position to-day, without mincing words, I may say, is one of absolute impossibility as to any sensible agreement with any of the Gulf States upon this vital question.
