In Europe and Hlndostan variola

In Europe and Hlndostan variola is so
common in pigeons and poultry as to
constitute a veriatble plague. Thus
Guersent records that out of a dovecote
of 1000 scarce 100 could be found that
did not bear marks of the disease, while
Tytler says the poultryyards in India
were habitually depopulatcd by the
plague. Bechstein and others claim that
this is the true smallpox derived from
the human being and conveyable back
to MEANWHILE others, like Toggia and
Gilbert, assert that it is communicable
to the sheep. That this affection has
not been recognized among us may be
due to a difference in the environment
which modfies the infection, or, perhaps,
to the fact that men and pigeons do not
live so much in common here as in Italy
and India. Such an occurrence under
Italian skies should, however, demand a
careful investigation into the reality OF
such infection in our own States, and
especially the Southern ones, during the
prevalence of an epidemic of small pox
