BUBONIC PLAGUE.
DECISIONS BY CONFERENCE. By Telegraph. —Press Assn.—Copyright. Sydney, Nov. 22. Among other decisions of the Plague Conference was one that the risk of infection from bubonic or septicaemia cases of plague was negligible. Such cases may be treated in safety in the isolation wards of general hospitals. It is not essential that plague cases should be treated in isolation hospitals distant from the population. The use of guinea pigs to detect the presence of • plague fleas in suspected area* was approved. As tlie effective destruction of fleas is regarded as an essential part of the measures taken with respect to infected premises, the recommendations approve the present precautionary preventive regulations. and suggest a number of stringent measures for strengthening and widening the scope of these regulations.
