Flies as Carriers of COntagion,

Since the recognitio: that in many dis,

the virus from one to mother individual
have widened.@ Attation has lately
been recalled to the part which may
conceivably be played in this direction
by the agency of the house-fy. Our

minds US that the granular ophthalmia

exist in the intestines d flies which have

it would appear that tfere is hardly any
direction, either in on, mode of living,
eating or environment whereby we can
avert the possibility d the transference
to ourselves of this Ubiquitous bacillus,
and life would become intolerable were
