OYSTERS AND TYPHOID FEVER.

Wy SlEhS AMI II nOlD FEW En-
Lately the press has been misled into
publishing on Insignificant, but slsnder-
iug, article on the SUBJECT Of oysters and
typhoid fever. I; has been said that
oysters could propagate typhoid fever.
This is false in every particular. Oys-
tiers cannot give US this terrible disease
at all, for the very reason that they
cannot take it themselves. More than
this-there is no better antiseptic and
typhoid fever germ destroyer than
oysters.
This is proved by the following AT
the French medical congress which met
lately at Montpelier, Drs. Ducsmp,
Sabatier and Petit reported the re-
suits of researches made by them on
|, this sutject-"Oysters and Typhoid
Fever"-a. the geological station at
Cette. These experiments demonstrate
ed that neither the oysters in coves nor
the ones which were exposed for one
month at the molth OF a sewer, dis
charging all the filth of the city, con-
tanned bacillus OF dny kind-neitber OF
the common kind nor OF the typhoid
species. Thus oysters have withslood
all contamination after having been in
contact with tho worst kind of impure
ties during whole month.
Not satisfied with these important
discoveries, these gentlemen kept on
experimenting. They inoculated oys-
,ers abundantly with microbe cultures
out OF their laboratory. They perform
ed this by injecting these into the live
oysters. Then, after the poor mollusks
had been 20 treated with a variation OF
vruleDt cultures, they were placed
back 10 the coves. Daily examinations
we're made, and now and then these
scientists made long and careful bacte'
biological studies Of some of their pa
TENTS. WHAT Yves the result 1T wac
only matter of few days, aud no
trace OF these abundant rjsctions could
be found in the oysters, and, 10 their
report, they state that possibly 1t was
owing to the action OF the salt water
on the microbes, or, perhaps, the oys-
teTb tnemeolfo5 udu tuo loNci W uo
stroy the poor bacillus. But remem-
Der. it twas not the bacillus which kill.
ed the oyster, but the oy ster which kill
ed the bacillus"
These gentlemen concluded thus,
that the crusade against eating social
ed contaminated oysters to prevent the
spreading of typhoid fever is absurd.
and that this view cannot be accepted
in medicine.
DR. Jean Suis, the writer Of the FORE
going article, add very humorously:
"Thus eat oysters with all security.
Should there be yet some trembling un-
believers, | am willing to have taste
OF all the oysters they will kindly send
me. - From LIZ Patriotic.
