    Many interesting speculations in regard to the supposed causes of some diseases, and the contagious or non-contagious properties of others, might also have been supplied from the same source, but these being inconsistent with a Report of this nature, have only been adverted to where sufficient numerical evidence could be obtained for estimating their accuracy. Limited as that portion of the investi- gation has necessarily been, however, it will at least serve to develop facts which may prove useful in directing the future inquiries of others on the same subject.
