P~RopAGAToRs OF DISEASE The Pail
Mall Gazette says: Among the many
agents for the spread of infections dis
ease are, 1t seems, our domestic peis.
For the propagation OF a fever a dog is
sometime as bad, if not worse than a
drnin and a case is referred to in the
Sanitary Record, in which scarlet fever
was carried from one child TO another
by a ~favorite retriever. The dog had
beer reared in a house where scar!a!;na
prevailed. and wss subsequently, given
to a friend of the family. Shortly af-
ter n of the children in the dogs new
home was attacked with malignant scar
latina and died. Disinfectants were
used plentifully, and every precaution
to prevent Q recurrence OF the molsdy,
but in two months tlBe a second child
took the same disease, 10 its worst form,
and died. AS the dog had been the con
slant companion and play-fellow Of these
children. its woollv coat, it il alleged,
because 30 charged with contagious mat
ter as to render it a sourcs of disease and
death. Although it is fair to admit that
the children may have caught the fever
from other sources than his wooily coat,
vet there is reason 10 fear that both dog
and cat, especially The latter, do c
sionally assist in the circulation of in
fictitious Illness. and whare fever prevails
the sooner they are lodged ont of the
house the better. They are, however.
probably not more dangerous in this re-
spNct than books. No one who ever

teredents of the volume; it NAV have

believe that there were ten gallons Of

plOsiOn- 1t seems to be very difficult TO
get AZ the truth in this respect. The en-
