ONE or two cases of typhoid fever have been brought to our notice during the past week, Have the proper authorities been sequainted with the cases and are they making the bussssary inquisisu en to the possible sourden of the disease? There have been several cises in Colombo during sucent weeks, und a ocrrespondent in one of the local papers suggests a solentifis investigation by the Sanitary Authorities. He speaks of the douteyance of the typhoid germ in milk, and enggests that the inquiry should include the muiden from which water might have been procured for the adulteration of the milk, These are points which will naturally occur to the medical mind, and, we have no doubt, will receive dus weight by the Hongkong Authorifice in any investigation they may have to make, and a searabing investigatiort in sbsolutely marcinars, -- Hen liare - ar kar Jäger, from Hamburg, left Singapore there not, beed any oares of diphtheria, at for this port on Batarday, Feb. 10 the same time The Sanitary Board don't expected here about Feb. 22.
