Definite action taken yesterday toward solv-

week reached eighty. sxty-four more than in the
week of 1904, and from oerebro-spinal rnenin-

The Health Department has already taken steps
to investigate meningitis DR.. Darlington is await
ing appropriation from the aldermen to appoint
a committee of leading physicians for the work
He has also been distributing typhoid antitoxin

lieved. although the fatalities were frequently
greater.
There is as much danger Of the communication
of meningitis through a sneeze as through a cloud

disappearance IN the summer
THE germ of meningitis is peculiar in that it at
tacks only the brain and the spinal chords 1t is a
mystery how il reaches them well as where It
comes from. it is probably very slightly con-
tagious.
"One reason why have learned little about
this germ is because it is a difficult one TO rear

noculated into animals shows little effect 1t is
possible that IT is carried around by people and
animals like the germ OF diphtheria or pneumonia
An infamed condition of the nostrlls would prob

epidemic under control at Hartford, Conn., last
