can do so by paying any advance money that may
have been given him and the cost Of his food In port
Fourth No pers0n under twenty-five years OF age

Fifth. The shipmasters or agents must guarantee

lack of official records in some ports, and
to the fact that vessels often take on large
numbers from the shore after leaving the har-

estimates after an examination of all the
official records that have been preserved,
and will serve to give the reader some idea
of the Cinnamon taken away by force or fraud

CAUSES AND CURE OF m1AsmA,

At the first meeting of the Interna-
tional Medical Congress, recon;ly held at
Florence, Prof Lombard, of Geneva,
showed n series of statistical maps to
illustrate the rate of mortality in differ.
ent countries, the lowest being in
Iceland; also the effects ofmalaria with
reference to differen. seasons of the
year. In marshy countries tho death.
rate is highest in summer, elsewhere 10
winter. In the district Of Massa Mari
tuna, the average duration Of life has
been Heightened by the drainage
operations from 10 or IL to 18 or 81
years. At a later meeting DR.. Panta-
leoni returned to the origin of miasma,
which he attributed not only to the
direct action Of tho mixture o. salt and
fresh water, but to the resulting putre.
faction Of plants. He recommends as
the best antidote the planting of lofty
trees; and believes that drainage is
useless, and that it is better to lay the
whole district under water, or, whore
practicable, to fill up the marsh by earth.
He has no faith in tho use Of quioklime
as disinfectant. Prof. Cipriani regret.
ted the great increase in the cultivation
OF rice under the law Of 1866. Prof. G..
Molli, Of Milan, read paper stating
that he had found the sulphite salts Of
soda and magnesia more efficaoious in
marsh fevors than preparations Of bark.
The Congress approved the propossl fol
