He cites dense urban filth, boarding houses, and poor drainage as disease sources, urging sweeping sanitation and quarantine to protect the United States.

Witch boy and tribe tragedy linked to self destruction
A San Francisco Chronicle account details a remote Alert Bay clan in distress. Deseultah is tied to the witching of a boy named Abahata and the clan’s deaths from smallpox and hunger, with a court case ending in acquittal and suspicions of further tragedy aboard a ship before a final self inflicted act. Separate items discuss postal routes in Australia, shark byproducts, a jab about a tramp at breakfast, and a joke about lawyers.
