OYSTERS aud Typhoid.

The British Government Board has
issued u special report on oysters as
source Of the spread or typhoid fever.
The general conclusions arrived at are
that although sources o. danger I'M
questionably exist in oysters, the rem
edy is comparatively simple. The re-.
port says that only few beds in stor-
uge ponds on the English coasts could
be regarded as free from every chance
Of sewage pollution: though most Of
them are free from substantial! risk
owing to the large amount OF water
which is mixed with sewage.
The meteorological Investigations OF
DR.. Klein, which confirmed the inves.
legations Of Professor Conn, have es-
tab'ishel tho tact that the typhoid
bacilIns was recoverable from sea
water up to u month, and the cholera
bacillus up to two weeks from the date
of infection. New York Mail and Ex'
