  Abstract 
  of 
  a 
  note 
  by 
  Dr 
  B. 
  Grassi 
  in 
  which 
  he 
  calls 
  attention 
  to 
  flies 
  occurring 
  upon 
  

   various 
  pathogenic 
  materials 
  and 
  conveying 
  germs 
  to 
  receptive 
  membranous 
  surfaces. 
  

   Ophthalmia 
  is 
  noted 
  as 
  an 
  Egyptian 
  complaint, 
  very 
  probably 
  carried 
  by 
  flies. 
  Grassi's- 
  

   experiments 
  show 
  that 
  flies 
  may 
  ingest 
  and 
  pass 
  unharmed, 
  eggs 
  of 
  a 
  human 
  parasite 
  (Tr'.- 
  

   chocephalus) 
  and 
  probably 
  of 
  the 
  tapeworm 
  (Taenia 
  s

  Note 
  on 
  Grassi's 
  experiments 
  showing 
  that 
  flies 
  are 
  agents 
  in 
  the 
  diffusion 
  of 
  infectious 
  

   maladies, 
  epidemics 
  and 
  even 
  parasitic 
  diseases 
  and 
  recording 
  the 
  ingestion 
  and 
  passage 
  of 
  

   Trichocephalus 
  eggs 
  and 
  also 
  of 
  alcoholic 
  eggs 
  of 
  Taenia 
  solium.

  Gives 
  the 
  mortality 
  figures 
  of 
  the 
  outbreak 
  in 
  1885 
  and 
  cites 
  an 
  instance 
  " 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  

   disease 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  transmitted 
  through 
  the 
  air." 
  The 
  first 
  case, 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  stranger, 
  

   occurred 
  in 
  a 
  hotel, 
  the 
  discharges 
  being 
  thrown 
  without 
  treatment 
  into 
  a 
  water-closet 
  

   which 
  communicated 
  with 
  a 
  room 
  only 
  3 
  feet 
  distant 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  landlord's 
  daughters 
  slept. 
  

   The 
  drinking 
  water 
  of 
  the 
  place 
  was 
  good 
  and 
  the 
  three 
  cases 
  following 
  the 
  first 
  were 
  in 
  all 
  

   probability 
  due 
  to 
  germs 
  transmitted 
  by 
  flies.

  Surgeon 
  General 
  Sir 
  William 
  Moore 
  is 
  quoted 
  as 
  reporting 
  an 
  instance 
  where 
  anthrax 
  

   was 
  spread 
  by 
  flies 
  from 
  the 
  unburied 
  carcass 
  of 
  a 
  dog. 
  It 
  is 
  also 
  noted 
  that 
  the 
  greatest 
  

   abundance 
  of 
  flies 
  in 
  India 
  is 
  coincident 
  with 
  cholera 
  outbreaks. 
  It 
  is 
  suggested 
  that 
  

   leprosy 
  is 
  often 
  conveyed 
  by 
  flies. 
  Ophthalmia 
  is 
  thus 
  disseminated.

  notes 
  may 
  

   not 
  all 
  apply 
  to 
  the 
  house 
  fly]
