6.  What did you learn from reading fever?

7.  In Haiti, a revolution forced many French people out of Haiti. Many came to Philadelphia to start a new life or seek refuge.  Many, however, were carrying the Yellow Fever  The Fever was not the result of animals or bad food or other “rumors” of how the disease started  Yellow Fever IS passed on by mosquitos

8.  Doctors tried many treatments (with no results) that included: administering shaved tree bark with wine, brandy, and aromatics such as ginger or cinnamon; sweating the fever out by coating a patient's body with a thick salve of herbs and chemicals; and wrapping the whole body in a blanket soaked in warm vinegar.

9.  Last used during the American Revolutionary War, "Ten-and- Ten" was an intense purge of the body produced through administering ten grains of calomel (mercury) and ten grains of the cathartic drug jalap (the poisonous root of a Mexican plant, Ipomoea purga, related to the morning glory, which was dried and powdered before ingesting). [6] Both substances, being highly toxic, would create the desired elimination that Dr. Rush was looking for. To accelerate the process, he increased the dosage to ten-and-fifteen and administered it three times a day, in effect poisoning his patients to rid the body of waste. Rush also believed in bloodletting, as did virtually every doctor of the time. He removed copious amounts of blood from a patient with the thought that it would cleanse the body. Many at the time believed the body held about twenty-five pounds of blood [7], but in reality, it holds less than half that, and many of Rush's patients passed out because they were bled so radically.American Revolutionary Warcalomel (mercury)catharticjalapmorning glory [6]bloodletting [7]

10.  While there were still Yellow Fever outbreaks during following summers, most of the damage was in 1793  10%, or 5,000 people, are believed to have died during 1793 due to the Fever

11.  Founded in Philadelphia in 1787  Founded by Richard Allen and Absalom Jones  Goal was to create a non-denominational religious organization that served the spiritual, economic and social needs of Philadelphia's African-American community.

13.  The Free African Society was designed as a mutual aid society to help support African Americans; especially the sick, jobless, orphaned and widowed.

14.  It was (mistakenly) believed that African Americans were “immune” to Yellow Fever  The city of Philadelphia enlisted the aid of Richard Allen and Absalom Jones in recruiting blacks to help the sick and dying. Blacks were now welcomed into the homes of whites, where they performed medical duties and carted away and disposed of the dead.

15.  Instead of receiving praise, blacks were accused of profiting from their helping of white families  The FAS tried to refute the comments, saying that just as many blacks as whites died from the Yellow Fever
