  The

  of 
  flies 
  in 
  horse 
  manure, 
  collection 
  of 
  dust 
  and 
  other 
  refuse 
  confirmed. 
  

   Children, 
  dirty 
  walls 
  and 
  ceilings 
  and 
  particles 
  of 
  food 
  on 
  the 
  floor 
  and 
  in 
  sinks 
  are 
  attractive 
  

   to 
  flies. 
  Laboratory 
  experiments 
  demonstrate 
  that 
  flies 
  may 
  carry 
  the 
  typhoid 
  bacillus 
  in 
  

   a 
  living 
  condition 
  for 
  over 
  two 
  weeks. 
  They 
  also 
  disseminate 
  the 
  germs 
  of 
  zymotic 
  diarrhoea 
  

   and 
  Asiatic 
  cholera. 
  Tubercle 
  bacilli 
  have

  A 
  detailed 
  examination 
  of 
  local 
  conditions 
  showing 
  that 
  by 
  far 
  the 
  greater 
  number 
  of 
  

   cases 
  of 
  typhoid 
  fever 
  in 
  1907 
  occurred 
  within 
  a 
  few 
  blocks 
  of 
  the 
  water 
  front, 
  the 
  outbreaks 
  

   being 
  most 
  severe 
  in 
  the 
  immediate 
  vicinity 
  of 
  sewer 
  outlets. 
  The 
  same 
  was 
  also 
  found 
  

   true 
  of 
  deaths 
  resulting 
  from 
  intestinal 
  diseases. 
  Charts 
  are 
  given 
  showing 
  an 
  almost 
  exact 
  

   coincidence 
  between 
  deaths 
  from 
  the 
  latter 
  and 
  the 
  prevalence 
  of 
  the 
  house 
  fly. 
  The 
  same 
  

   is 
  shown 
  to 
  be 
  true 
  of 
  typhoid 
  fever 
  when 
  the 
  dates 
  are 
  set 
  back 
  two 
  months 
  to 
  correspond 
  

   to 
  the 
  time 
  at 
  which 
  the 
  disease 
  was 
  contracted. 
  Several 
  epidemics 
  of 
  dysentery 
  of 
  a 
  

   malignant 
  type 
  have 
  been 
  known 
  to 
  radiate 
  from 
  a 
  single 
  point 
  and 
  to 
  entirely 
  disappear 
  

   when 
  proper 
  disinfection 
  of 
  closets 
  was 
  enforced. 
  On 
  several 
  occasions 
  local 
  epidemics 
  of 
  

   typhoid 
  fever 
  were 
  traced 
  to 
  transmission 
  by 
  flies.

  Reports 
  that 
  he 
  finds 
  that 
  the 
  relation 
  between 
  the 
  number 
  of 
  flies 
  captured 
  and 
  the 
  

   number 
  of 
  deaths 
  reported 
  are 
  substantially 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  in 
  1907. 
  A 
  notable 
  decrease 
  in 
  

   mortality 
  this 
  summer 
  corresponded 
  with 
  catching 
  a 
  much 
  smaller 
  number 
  of 
  flies. 
  Dr 
  

   Jackson 
  finds 
  on 
  18 
  swill 
  barrel 
  flies 
  18 
  ,800,000 
  bacteria 
  or 
  over 
  1,000,000 
  to 
  each 
  fly.
