INSECTS AND CONTAGION.

The Damage That Can BE Done Even by
Gnat's Sting.
1t is generally understood that the
stings of some insects are essentially
poisonous in a greater or less degree,
and must therefore be early and care
fully treated. Pain alone in such cases
Will suffice for danger signal, and few
when thus warned would care to
neglect the puncture made by hornet,
wasp, or even a bee. The fact that
other insects, like some species of fly,
are capable of equal or even greater
mischief, says the London Lancet, is not
SO commonly known as it ought to be.
The recent death of a woman at Kings
ton from septic erysipelas thus caused
may be quoted in illustration. In ac-
counting for such occurrences two
points are specially noteworthy-name-
ly, the condition of health of the per-
son attacked and the previous habitat
of the assailant.
In no case probably is it possible to
define exactly the influence exercised
by each of these contributing factors.
This much we know, however, that no
matter how trivial or how great the eff
feet of the conveyed poison, it is much
enhanced by all conditions of weak
ness or blood impurity existing in the
sufferer. mere midge or gnat bite in
one person will prove almost as serious
in its effect as septic wound in an
other. There are in the system all the
material for conflagration, and a
spark might light it up as well as a fire.
brand. The habits of insects afford a
clew to the seeming vagary Of their oc-
casional and accidental virulence. The
sting of the mandibles, which perhaps
are buried an hour previous in some
putrid sore, excreta or offal, cannot
penetrate living tissue without leav-
ing in it something of the same putrid
character. It is safer, therefore, for
medical practitioner torcgard each and
every injury of this kind, however
slight, as possible source of illness,
and at once to contrive it's relief by
poulticing antiseptic congresses or like
means.

give her her first lesson. No cavalier could
have been more gallant, He showed her
how to mount and what to do with her
hands and feet. Then for one hard work
