DR. HAFFKINE'S WORK IN TNDr1
 Dr. Haffkine, the famous Russian n
 physician who has been in India try-
 Ing to preserve the health of others.
 mas found difficulty in preserving his
 own health, and has therefore been
 obliged to leave the country. But dur
 Ing his stay there he has, at his own
 cost, inoculated more than 10000 per-
 sons with his anti-choIera virus His
 work appears to have been attended
 by the most satisfactory results of I the utmost importance to humanity Surgeon Lieutenant-Colonel Cronobia | president of the Calcutta Medical so- clety, at special meeting, spoke of ! him as one of the greatest benefactors Of the human race, His procedure con sIsts of two stages--a preparatory inocu- lation with a weak virus which ar
 ables the system to receive a second inoculation of stronger character The weak virus he develops by nassino
 air and oxygen over a cultivation of
 the comma bacilli on agar at a hipb
 temperature. By this means the haci1.
 Jus is so modified that when introduced
 below the skin it causes only a slight
 local puffiness, followed by a mild con.
 stitutional reaction. The modified
 bacillus thus obtained preserves ita
 gentle character in all subsequent cuI-
 ttvations in agar. and becomes, in fact new permanent variety of the comma bacillus. The second inoculation is made with virus of such strength that it causes death to guinea-pig in eisht hours But when injected into the bu- man subject five days after the prepara- tory inoculation, it gives rise to only a slight local and constitutional dis turbance. In more than 42.o0o inoc,,- lations there has not been a nisban of any kind. In Calcutta 1880 inocu. lations were performed by the Health department of the municipality. Chol. era occurred in 36 houses, in which 1 a certain proportion of the 51s inmates, had been fnoculated and certain pro- portion had not. Among the uninocu. 1 lated inhabitants 13.47 per cent. were by cholera, and He per cent. died. Among the inhabitants partly | protected by the first inoculation only | 2.2 per cent. were attacked and died | Among those who had undergone the 1 second inoculation there were no cases and no deaths.
 This is encouraging. At one time it i looked as if the myriads of bacilH of various kinds would be too much for the human race. It now seems possible that the human race will be too much for the bacili. Anyhow it is a great and an interesting fight.

In the recent English Blue Book Sir Richard Griffin makes an elaborate computation of the wages paid to the laboring population of the United King dom. He finds that the average week ly earnings are fl As I'd, or f64 a year. Reduced to American currency. this means s6.15 week, or about $32O annu- ally. But the London Spectator. in an analysis of the figures, shows that at least 100000 laboring men receive less than $5 a week, and, as most of them are married, remarks that they can hardly be considered as living within the region of civilization" The Specta- tor adds that ''no nation can consider itself in satisfactory state when any,. thing approaching 100000 families are living the lives which we know are lea by the town laborers with 15s to IFS week and the country laborers with 1os to 12s.''
