ia ho reliable data on which to base |positively the somewhat extravagant claims made on behalf of Dr Yersin and his plague care by well-mearing but unthinking friends. The world knows too well tho false hopes called into existence by the prematuro announcement of Dr Koch's re- searches into the causation of consumption. It is well to avoid a similar mistake in regard to alleged plague cures. Harm has already beou done by the too landstory proclams tion of Dr Yersin's laboratory experimenta

and hus plague cures in South China. Ilis appearance in Bombay was eagerly anticipated. His fanse lind travelled before him. He was telegraphed for by the In- disa fiovernment to proceed at once to Bombay at any cost. He was not at the milway station by a galaxy of deferential Indian othcials, who acenod to rogard him

as the coming saviour of the city. But he hus been in Bombay savorni wecks, ho has 2.58 treated large numbers of plague-patients with his Tonkin serum, and the plague mortality has been justøyed, nad eur. doubts are raised by the medical practi. Į
