A USEFUL CAUTION.

The Sanitary News calls attention
to the fact that postage stamp
may in various ways convey con-
tagion. One of the simplest and
most plausible is that in which a
postage stamp, partially attached to
a letter to pay return postage,is sent
by person infected with some dis
ease to another person. The diseas e
is transferred in the first place to
the adhesive stamp through the
saliva, and in being attached to the
letter by the receiver the poison
may be transmitted to him in turn
through the saliva. Another cause
may be the infection of the stamp
with disease germs. The stamp
having been exposed in a room where
a diseased person lies, may become
slightly moistened and thus retain
the germ. That this is true can be
proved very simply by microscop-
zeal examination. We often see q
person holding change for a moment
in the mouth, probably not knowing
that investigation has shown that
disease germs can be carried by
money. If one should see through
what hands the money has passed
he would hesitate before using such
a third hand. Silver money is as
bad as paper money, but while many
would hesitate to hold dirty bank
note in their mouth, they think that
silver piece, because bright, is
probably clean.
