dsrrhea. said to have been caused in nearly every
instance by rating oysters. There was report cur

bat such is not the fact 1t is nothbg Unusual for
sudden illness TO follow free indulgence IN sneu'nsn
especially clans and HOLSTERS, but such remsrksoie
mortality from oysters lie something new and no'e
little startling. We are told by one old oysterman
that probably the oysters which have created this
sickness were taken up and planted during their
spawning time, whereby they became diseased.
Whatever the cause may have been, the results are
melancholy indeed.
