Disease Communicated by Fish.

Fish are subject to the same diseases
which prevail among other animals and
are thus in the same degree liable to
communicate disease to those who par
take of them unless so thoroughly
cooked that all parasitic germs will be
killed. A gentleman who has been
making scientific study of the fish in
New York harbor finds that among these
alone there exists over thirty different
kinds of parasites. Epidemics have
sometimes prevailed among fish to the
extent of killing them in vast numbers
so that they were washed upon the
shores in great heaps, as of the coast of
the Csrolinas a few years ago.-Frcm a
Lecture by DIR. j. Fl. Kellogg.

Opinm Smoking in London.

Some startling facts are brought to
light by writer in recent issue of the
Medical Press concerning the increase
in the habit of smoking opium in Lon
don. A gentleman who had been told
that this habit was growing determined
to make some inquiries himself After
some time he learned that application
for information should be made to
certain well-known medical practitioner
living in the West End. The gentle
mans wife wrote to this practitioner
asking information and received in re-
ply a copy of a pamphlet entitled
"Opium Smoking as a Therapeutic
Power, According to the Latest Medical
Authorities" The pamphlet describes
in detail the method of preparing and
smoking the opium and recites the con-
ditions which are said to be specially
benefited by taking the, drug in this
form. The physician who is supposed
to be the author of the pamphlet is
a confirmed opium smoker and he seems
to be actuated with desire to drag
others down to the level of his owp
degradation.
