I saw one man, Happy Jack, spend the entire day in walking to and fro for about a quarter of a mile on both sides of our lines along the road, carrying the bundles for a series of poor old women, or else carrying young children. Finally the doctor warned us that we must not touch the bundles of the refugees for fear of infection, as disease had broken out and was rife among them.

Here was the good fortune for which he had not dared to hope, declaring itself in favour of Iris. Under these encouraging circumstances the proposed consultation which might have produced such excellent results had been rejected; thanks to a contemptible fear of infection, excited by a story of a trumpery piece of flannel!

A local enlargement occurs at the anterior carpal region and the mass is somewhat fluctuating, extravasated fluids becoming infected in many instances, and necrosis of the skin and fascia provide means for spontaneous discharge of the contents of the enlargement if it is not opened. The infection when it becomes generalized causes a fatal termination in most cases that are not treated.

The infection is got so deep, it has taken the black so effectually, that the tint, the very fire of hell, can never purge the soul therefrom.

It is necessary to wash or spray the fences, floors, walls, brushes and curry-combs with a disinfecting solution.

Mites or acarina that cause diseases of poultry may live on the feathers, beneath the skin, and within the body of the fowl.

In this event, he assured her that an immediate consultation between them was absolutely necessary in the interests of Iris.
