One of the most horrible discoveries

That city had been seriously afflicted

that the soil OF the cemeteries in which

organisms exactly identical with those
found in the vomitings, blood, etc, Of
those who had died in the hospitals Of
yellow fever. From foot under
ground he gathered a sample Of tho
earth OVERLAPPING the remains Of a per.
son who had been buried about a year
before; and though il showed nothing
remarkable in appearance or smell, il
was found under the microscope to be

ganisms we're making spontaneous

washes the soil and the fever seed with

water courses. aud distributes them
over the town and neighl,orhood.

II is not genius that tells on the
