INFECTIOUS NOTES.
Lank notes, as a rule, says a Ballarat paper, are not the most wholesome tilings in the world, hot when their condition is such as to cause one to loathe contact with them it is high time power were vested in some one to compel their withdrawal from circulation for sanitary reasons alone. This morning- we were shown a disgustingly filthy scrap of paper in the form of a £1 note, the smell of which was sufficient to cause a feeling ol sickness to overtake one in handling- it. Considering the prevalence just now in the sister colony of one of the most infectious and horrible diseases, coupled with the fact that intercourse and exchange of this filthy paper currency takes place daily between Sydney and Victoria, it is rather to be wondered that the disease in question has not already made its appearance hero.
