Anntlni Insect p?"*t has made ii- appearance
in formidable nnmbers on Long Island. The

the power of tliijlit will probably oonflne the

Tetlow fever, so fur as its cause and origin
are concerned, seems likely long to remain a

the disease and th? precautions necessar] to
prevent its spread, a considerable advance has
been made. The subject is very ably dis
enssed in a report written by Dr. Krank Reilly,

M. Woodworth, Supervising Surgeon of the
Marine Hospital Service. The publication
