It is perhaps nothing more than a curious coincidence that the abrupt cessation of the measles epidemic in Ludlow and Cleobury-Mortimer, reported in yesterday's issue, should have occurred simultaneously with the appearance of bluish discolouration among the inhabitants."
But how do you know it is there?" "It has cut short an epidemic of measles. The doctors are puzzled." Sarakoff nodded. He was looking at the names of the other towns that lay on the course of the aqueduct. "Cleobury-Mortimer," he spelt out. "No news from there?" "None." "And none from Birmingham yet?" "None." "We'll have news to-morrow." He raised himself on his knees.
