Pet Animals Spread nlsensn.

''The spread of diphtheria which has
been so great lately" remarked West
Side physician, sis largely attributed to
cafelessness that is criminal when the
virulent nature OF the distemper is con-
sidered. 1t is the experience Of most
physicians that almost all sickness comes
from the ignorance or wilful careless
ness Of the people, but in no case is this
so bad as in that Of diphtheria, because
of its extremely infectious character.
Once dipltheria is known to exist the
greatest precaution should be taken to
prevent its spread, but instead OF that
nothing is done until all the children in
a whole tenement house, or in fact in a
whole block, are infected, or at least en-
dangered, as was the case down on
Tenth avenue lately.
Pet animals are a common and con-
slant source Of the spread OF this distem-
per. Cats and dogs are permitted to be
around and even TO drink the milk left
10y child suffering from diphtheria.
These animals take the disease and then
20 out and spread it among their fellow
animals, which in turn carry it into the
houses where they belong. have known
several cases where a cat caught il in

numbers OF deaths Of human beings, for
children will play with cats and pet
them If they appear sick. When in that
condition q cat or other ret animal is
more inclined than at other times to
crawl up on people to get sympathy. and
this makes the danger ali the greater.
A remarkable case Of this kind occurred
in my own house a few years ago. A
little girl residing in the house con-
tracted scarlet fever and died. During
her illness a pet alligator was around,
and soon after the child's death the an

this kind than the household pets the

The second day OF tho wholesale tic up

a few cars run during tho day on most OF the
