is about the plague, - I wish to speak about the plague.

According to what I think about it, I know all about

it, because I give away so much medicine every year for

the plague,

it is not carried by infection from one

person to another. It comes out from infection from the

drains. It is very bad this taking a person out from a house with the plagum such a distance to the Roapital. Then the percentage of recoveries taken there is low. It has nothing to do with it, and why should you fumig- ate a house, and tear down the things. What should he done is this. To treat a man in his house, and send

some people to wash out the drains, and then the bodies would not be dumped in the streets. That is required

is that the drains should be flushed, and then nothing would be torn down. Besides, the sick men treated in their own houses, the percentages of recoveries would

be greater.
