with the gas at the same time and also the sewers of the locality.

"In localities in which plague amually recrudesces the systematic disinfection of houses and destruction of rats in them during the period of quiescence are very important measures in com- bating these recrudescences. Occasionally it may not be convenient to disinfect the whole house at one time with the Clayton system. Under these circum- stances, with proper arrangements and eare, a part of the house can be completed before the other part is commenced. Such an arrangement would prove invaluable for the disinfection of Zenanas, where the women would remove to another portion of the house until their quarters were disinfected. Indian houses with their courtyards are well adapted to such an arrange- ment, which however would not be suitable for chawls

and most tenement houses, which should be disinfected

at one operation.

"Fumigation has its limits and can only be

applied to houses, buildings, severs, drains, and other structures that are closed or capable of being

enclosed".
