Shell-fish. — Unlike preserved foods which have been submitted to processes 
intended to destroy bacteria, shell-fish, owing to the fact that they are eaten raw, may 
be a very serious source of infection. None of the samples, however, examined 
showed evidence of disease-producing organisms. It is to the interest of the oyster 
merchant to see that the oyster beds are absolutely free from sources of possible 
pollution. The same remark applies to dealers in other kinds of shell-fish.
