raised could be put to much better use
by devoting it to assist in feeling the
refugees that pass through than by
sending it to San Francisco.
Therefore a large supply of sand

by sending money to the city, except
it be sent in large amounts.

money is collected on The Silver State

Many epidemics of plague have fol-

favoring plague is uncleanliness. All the
localities in which the plague fiourishes
are conspicuously filthy. The villages

For individual prevention against

any person who is brought in o con-
