Against this theory, poptdar and sden title, there are facta that no bacilli have ireen discovered in fisht that castes which never touch fisrh furnish their due " 7 oontiirgents of bqrers, and that the dis ease is'not more rife in districts border ed by the *ea and by large rivers than anywhere else. On the other hand, leprosy is common in hill tracts, where fish is a very rare article of food. Mr. 0. Gonyheare, who some time ago was Apprehensive that leprosy wa* due to the high price of salt, will be much relieved to hear that, Jty statistics to which no exception! can be taken on the ground of inaccuracy, the oonsump- ot lepers it has occurred ia provinces where th’e price of salt has fallen.

Water, opium, and mosquitoes have Now, the bacillus has never been found in water, though the Commissioner* in vain analyzed the wafler'of a filthy tank in which crowds of lepers ffiatbed. Premature marriages and the consump tion of opium are not to blame, ana if mosquitoes and flies could ooromunioate the disease after they had Mucked the blood rif any lepers. Calcutta, where these litle pests abound and mnrder sleep, should l>e a perfect leper asylum. On the question of infection and con tagion the report on “I-ieproey in In" dia” affirms that “though leprosy may be considered an infective disease, cau*<‘d by a specific bacillus, and also to some Extent a contagious disease,” it J is not actively# dr usually diffused in thi* way. Again, one might imagine that leprosy must be hereditary.. This assertion, if not absolutely disproved, is by no mean* certain. Many lepers are sterile. There is no evidence that the marriage of lepers with lepers' or Vith non-leprou* women always jdiffjlfica the disease.
