Propagation Of Diseases by
Birds.

There are few more mysterious
travellers than tunes and Diseases
"A new tune comes out in London,
and six weeks later it may be heard
whistled by boys in some obscure
and distant village, to which it has
found its way in some manner best
known to itself. 1t is the same with
diseases, which creep over the coun-
try silently, swiftly and surely, al
though their means OF transit battle
the skill OF the most intelligent men,
bers of the medical profession to di-
vine. A new theory has now been
started, that the foot-and-mouth dis
ease, which is so prevalent among
cattle, is conveyed from one district
to another, Notwithstanding all the
precautions taken against its
spread, by birds. A wood pig
con has, according to the Elgin
Courant, been lately shot near Elgin,
which has been declared by veterin-
airy surgeons and competent medical
authorities to have been evidently af-
fected by foot-and-mouth disease at
the time Of his death. The body OF
the unfortunate bird has, is stated,
been sent to the veterinary depart
ment of the privy council Office, and
may throw new light on the subject.
Another disagreeable notion has also
arisen that soap is an active agentin
the propagation of disease. The
New York physicians have arrived
at the conclusion that terrible
amount Of illness isoccasioned by the
impurities contained in soap, espec-
tally IN scented soap. Pail Moll
