Tho recurrence of tho disease in the samo blocks of buildings has hitherto been put down to coincidence, but a more thorough investigation has been urged. A cancerous mouse was placed in an uncleaned. cage and other mico introduced. They contracted the disease, and even after the cage was cleansed once the taint reiiiaiuyd, frequent _ disinfections ■being' required to remove it.
