Dr. Koch-Have any steps been taken to detect the source of origin! If seems to me mere not- ification does not seem to hit the thing off.

The Chairman-We were pretty well able to get a history of the Filipino cases. There does not seem to be any connection at all between the cases.

Dr. Kock-It is an indication that the source of origin is inclin- ed to be widespread.

The Chairman-That is nèg-l aived by the small number of

cases.

Mrs. Hickling Enquiries were made and the only thing was that they got their water from the tap and their fruit in the vicinity.

Dr. Koch-It would be a good plan to make arrangements by which the water supply is ex- amined bacteriologically.

(Except perhaps for military men),

I was the one who got the gladdest glad eyes;

Now all is changed, I've lost my fascination,

Even the housemaids look at me askance.

My favourite cook has started a flirtation
