Doapit a dry spring and summer and healthful conditions in the territory last year, there were eaaea of cholera and typhoid, the further development of which wu stopped by the November frusta. The chief cause of the contagion ia the water In the Sungari river and the shallow wells, which are located In tinxattliary places. Another source of contagion la that the ground filth in the winter has not been disposed of but lies exposed above the ground in the heart of the city, the streets of which are filled with refuse.
