The spread of the disease in epidemic form is extremely rapid; and at the time of the outbreak little can be done at the original focus beyond the organisation of medical assistance and an attempt to prevent its spread elsewhere.
Partly as a result of active steps taken by the countries con- cerned (on receipt of the informa tion sent to Geneva) Egypt, Italy, Malta, Albania, Turkey, and Syria are, up to the present date, free from the disease in epidemic form, though travellers are con stantly arriving from Greece.

Unless definite and extensive sanitary improvements, particu- | larly those relating to sewernge and refuse destruction, are under taken and maintained, a great} danger of widespread ppidemic will constantly face the city.
Though the Athenians them-i selves may acquire immunity from the disease, visitors to the town, whether on business or as tour ists, will be liable to the disease.
