PARIS. August 10.
The Pasteur Institute, which has always been foremost in the war against rats, has discovered the bacillus of the rat typhoid which is now obtainable in small phials.
It preserves its toxic qualities for a considerable time, and is dissolved in cold water, previously boiled, with which bread or grain is impregnated. One rat contracting the disease, is sufficient to infect whole colonies, which will die in a few days. The virus is innocuous to human bodies, and domestic animals, game, and poultry. _____
