Oysters and Typhoid Fever

The Belgian Royal Medical society
recently concluded an investigation as
TO whether the consumption of oysters
has contributed to the apparent exten-
sion OF typhoid fever. In summing up
the professional testimony from differ
ent sections of the country the con-
clusion was reached that eating oysters
could nave been productive OF typhoid
fever in only exceptional cases. and in
such cases was more to be attributed
TO the insanitary manner in which the
oysters had been handled than to anv
germs contained in the oysters them
selves.
