- Editor's Notes
- TAE firmly believes yellow fever to be a living organism. He does not believe it is airborne but that the microbes "crawls along the ground" because the spread has apparently been stopped by street pavements before. He is running experiments on insects to see what substance will kill them most effectively and economically.
- Edison says "the only way to stop spread of disease is to put a cordon of gasoline around the infected place"
