malaria does its work most frequently in
places where the soil is stirred up, 80 lar as

under these circumstances, its rule If more
general and the seyerest. In populous

being disturbed for farming or foundation
purposes. This is as true of the old word |
as it is Of the new. AS was stated some
time ago, in some English journal, in
Italian cities II IS VIGOROUSLY worse where
habitations are few. At Rome it has long
reigned in the thinly-peopled vicinity Of
the basilica of st. Paul; no quarter 10 less
visited by it than the crowded Ghetto and
the Purieus of the Pantheon. In the
Campania and the neighborhood OF Ter
racna it il supposed to have hardly been
known until Roman conquests and pa
trcian wealth expelled the petty farmers

T. Low fever Is more prevalent in the new
D quarters Of the Italian capital, which have
