It is by the human body and its clothing, or by the water which carries away human faeces, or has served for the washing of foul linen, that the infecting microbes are carried. The air need not be taken into account, except in close proximity to cases. According to Duclaux, the sun and air soon attenuate and destroy the microbes, but their virulence may long remain unimpaired in packages of clothing, bales of merchandise, and the close, moist hold of a vessel. 1 Trouessart, Microbes, Ferments, and Mo1dds. 2 These experiments appear to...
