If you mean long ago, they didn't have antibiotics or vaccines so they had to treat the symptoms. This means to give something to bring down the fever, etc. Both malaria and yellow fever are carried by mosquitoes. That meant protecting people from them by draining standing water and using mosquito nets. Now there are vaccines for yellow fever and malaria.
