P

Plague in India.

..In conclusion, it may be mentioned that Professor Simpson strongly recommends the diɛ- infection of a plague-stricken domicile by sulphurous acid gas by means of the Clayton method. This will destroy notonly the plague germ but also rats, fleas, bugs, and other agents capable of conveying the

Infection, and, moreover, does away with the irrita- ting procedure of removing all the different effects

and chattels of the natives elsewhere for disinfec-

tion, as everything is thus dealt with 'in situ'.
