disease is reported as epidemic it is
Quarantined by the board of health just
the same as contagious disease, but it
is admitted that many of the cases arise
from other complications and are not

autined.
1t was agreed 10y those present that
the people can safeguard themselves
against the disease by improving the
hygienic condition of their persons, by
giving their homes better ventilation
and by proper fumigation. Accordingly

necessity of cleaning up their homes,
properly fumigating them and ventilat-
ing them as the best means of guarding
against the disease. This circular Will
be issued by Health COMMISSIONS,

sis of the contents of the dead wo-

most OF her fortune to her daughter
and what remained had been devised by
law to Mrs, Walou who is the only
heir al law. Under the circumstances.
and considering that Mrs. Bingo was at
the point OF death and suffering great
pain. the only explanation that the law
officers can give IL that the biclorlde
