• Typhoid is extremely prevalent at present in Melbourne. Recently the Alfred Hospital had 33 cases, compared with 2o this time last year, the Homoeopathic Hospital 23, compared with .12 last year, the Children’s Hospital 17 cases, and the Melbourne Hospital 52 cases, compared with 31 last year. There are also 19 eases in the Williamstown Hospital. All the institutions complain that so great is the demand for accommodation of typhoid patients, that they are taxed to the utmost to find room for them. If we want a large siice of the army meat- contract we must forego much of our London trade ; and is the price offering in South Africa such as to justify our j sacrifice of a considerable portion of a trade wc have been laboriously building up for years ?—Wellington Posh I
