The germ is transmissible. It is capable of being transported in the clothing or personal effects of passengers and sailors, but its spread from one city to another is chiefly accomplished by vessels, their damp, filthy holds and bilge-water being its favorable lurk- ing places. Confinement, moisture and high temperature favor the multipli- cation or virulence of the poison.
