  A 
  The 
  great 
  majority 
  of 
  cases 
  of 
  diarrhoea 
  are 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  consumption 
  of

  An 
  illustrated 
  account 
  with 
  the 
  following 
  conclusions 
  : 
  The 
  experiments 
  conclusively 
  

   show 
  that 
  flies 
  alighting 
  on 
  any 
  substances 
  containing 
  pathogenic 
  organisms 
  are 
  capable 
  of 
  

   carrying 
  away 
  these 
  organisms 
  in 
  large 
  numbers 
  on 
  their 
  feet 
  and 
  of 
  depositing 
  them 
  in 
  a 
  

   gradually 
  diminishing 
  number 
  on 
  surface 
  after 
  surface 
  with 
  which 
  they 
  come 
  in 
  contact. 
  

   They 
  further 
  serve 
  to 
  demonstrate 
  the 
  necessity 
  for 
  the 
  exercise 
  of 
  stringent 
  measures 
  for 
  

   preventing 
  access 
  of 
  flies 
  to 
  all 
  sources 
  of 
  infection 
  and 
  to 
  protect 
  food 
  of 
  all 
  kinds 
  against 
  

   flies 
  alighting 
  on 
  it.
