  A 
  somewhat 
  extended 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  life 
  history 
  and 
  habits 
  of 
  the 
  house 
  fly. 
  The 
  opinion 
  

   is 
  expressed 
  that 
  the 
  larvae 
  may 
  be 
  beneficial 
  because 
  they 
  breed 
  in 
  and 
  destroy 
  material 
  

   which 
  might 
  produce 
  pathogenic 
  germs, 
  though 
  attention 
  is 
  called 
  to 
  the 
  probability 
  of 
  flies 
  

   carrying 
  cholera 
  and 
  gangrene.

  Flies 
  are 
  considered 
  as 
  scavengers 
  not 
  conveyers 
  of 
  cholera. 
  An 
  outbreak 
  of 
  disease 
  

   occurred 
  in 
  a 
  native 
  regiment 
  and 
  on 
  each 
  occasion 
  after 
  leaving 
  an 
  old 
  camp 
  for 
  a 
  new, 
  a 
  

   j,ecrudescence 
  occurred. 
  This 
  was 
  attributed 
  to 
  leaving 
  flies 
  behind; 
  when 
  they 
  followed 
  

   g^nd 
  mustered 
  in 
  force 
  the 
  disease 
  abated.

  Gives 
  details 
  respecting 
  a 
  cholera 
  outbreak 
  in 
  a 
  jail,

  that

  fed 
  

   i 
  n 
  the 
  corner 
  of 
  the 
  jail 
  near

  whereas 
  those 
  eating 
  in 
  the 
  opposite 
  hospital 
  

   corner, 
  diagonally 
  across, 
  escaped 
  the 
  malady. 
  This 
  data 
  was 
  considered 
  sufficient 
  to 
  

   indicate 
  the 
  fly 
  as 
  a 
  very 
  probable 
  carrier 
  of 
  the 
  contagion.
