only the alleged responsibility Of the
oyster in the c~ausation of winter ty-
phoid, we may ask what its habits are
at this season. Gorham has shown that
during cold weather oysters rest or
hibernate; movement ceases and feed
ing does not occur, and the oysters be-
come practically free from sewage or
ganisms, even when lying on sewage
polluted beds.
As such facts seem to throw some
DOUBT on the wisdom of attributing
winter typhoid to the oyster, Joseph
has made a bacteriologic study of the
oysters sold in Baltimore. The aim of
this investigation, conducted in the
Laboratory of Hygiene and Bacteriol-
ogy at the Johns Hopkins University,
was to ascertain whether the oysters
sold in one Of the most prominent mar
kets for these products in the United
States contain typhoid organisms de-
rived, from the intestinal tract: and
whether their content varies with the
seasons of the year.
The bacterial findings indicate that
the oysters sold in. Baltimore r in
general free from sewage contam,na-
ton. Those few lots which would be
condemned by the most rigid standards
were obtained at times of the year
when the weather was quite warm-a
fact Of no little significance in view of
the tendency to prolong the oyster eat
ing season beyond the limits of the
colder months. One Of the most strik-
ing points brought out was the distinct
change in the character of the oysters,
according to the time of the. syear. In
the early fall the scores were high, in
the cold weather. Of midwinter low, and
again high; in the spring. On no occa-
sion were the bacteria which cause ty-
phoid found.
