N2  - This case is presented as a contribution to the epidemiology of cerebrospinal meningitis. A 5-months-old breast fed infant living on a farm developed cerebrospinal meningitis. There was no record of any previous cases in the locality. On account of the isolated location of the farm it was possible to ascertain and examine every person who had come to the house for a week previous. One of the visitors was the uncle of the baby, a man, 33 years of age, who enlisted in the army in April, 1917, and went to France with the Fifty-Second Coast Artillery in August, 1917. He returned to this country in January, 1919, and was discharged from Camp Upton, Jan. 27, 1919. He fondled the baby January 28. A few days later the baby was taken ill and I was called in consultation February 3 by Dr. Reid of Coeymans. Examination of the spinal fluid
