have, care should be taken as to, Diet. Use no
vegetables or fruits but such as are fresh. See
that meats and fish are sound. Do not drink
iced water while yeu are heated.=Have all
nusanccs removed from your premises
Sprinkle lime and chloride of lime 10 your

have the streets and alleys kept clean. &4.'.s
