Small-pox
Mr Berry has advanced a theory regarding: the recent introduction of smalUpox into Victoria which has not before been made public. The Chief said he had been assured by gentleman who had had a lengthened Indian experience that the perms of the disease were brought to Melbourne in the goods imported from India, the trade between the two countries having- increased enormously during the past few years. This view was borne out l>y the face thut the disease had broken out in several isolated places .simultaneously, and it was ridiculous, to suppose that all the cases would have sprung from the one first discovered. 1 1 th« . germ theory, as stated by him (Mr Berry) *as thi correct oneVthe.Hou.se- would see how utterly imposHbleit-wonld be to carry out efficient '/j'uiran tine regulations; and, ay the .best was possible wasb:ing donfi, he, deprecated the scare that had been rai.*-;d.
