quamation of the skin, and the former history of slight fever with 
sore throat, leaves no doubt as to the nature of the illness. The 
occurrence of such a case in a small house, and where no precau¬ 
tions were taken, renders it an easy matter to spread the disease 
in the manner Dr. Eobertson suggests. The number of cases in 
the neighborhood continued to increase, notwithstanding all the 
precautions that were used, in addition to the closure of the 
schools. The meat is the only means by which Er. Eobertson 
can imagine the disease was carried in several of the cases. In 
another village, a large number of cases of scarlet fever occurred, 
and the health-officer has strong reason for suspecting the butcher’s 
meat as a medium by which the infection was spread. The cir¬ 
cumstances here were almost identical with those of the first out¬ 
break. The first case was at a butcher’s house: it was a slight 
one, not recognizable by the parents at first; free desquamation 
took place, and the child was allowed to run all over the premises.
