demic catarrh which has at various times
spread more RAPIDLY and extensively than any
other disorder. it has seldom occurred III any
country of Europe without appearing success

times apparently tTaversed the whole OF the
Eastern Continent and in some instances has
been transferred 10 America and has spread
over this continent likewise. The French call
it la grippe. In all known instances OF Its oc-
currence from the fourteenth century its
phenomena have been pretty Uniform and
have differed little. except IN severity. from
those of the common febrle catarrh. In

closure of Atlantic ports of Colombia
against vessels arriving from infected coun-
tries has been extended to all vessels sail

lutesy necessary, as there are no means of
establishing quarantine here. The Brit-
ISL and French Ministers have protested.
The Royal Mail steamship Atrato, which
arrived at Sayinalla after the declaration
was made that the port was closed 10 for
