Drink Wine When Eating Oysters.
This is the advice which many Austrian physicians are now giving, and for the following reason: Dr. Okuniewski and his assistants were recently experimenting at the naval hospital in Pola and suddenly discovered that wine poured on oysters speedily destroyed any germs of typhus with which it came in contact. Twenty days is the usual duration of life in such germs, and during all that time they are contagious. According to Dr. Okuniewski, however, no oysters can harm a person who drinks a little wine while eating them, since the wine very quickly destroys any typhus germs. - Chicago Record-Herald.
