THE PLAGUE.

TIus worthy information about tie
plague i'll Bombay and vicinity is lack-
ing, aud regarding the mortality it S
only said in general terms that aboul
80 per cent. of those attacked succumb.
The point which most interests Eu.
ropeans s whether the awful disease is
likely to fl jurish in northern latitudes
il inf Glion be introduced there, but
no evidence is forthcoming yet. 1t is
ar -ued by medical men, however, that
If the plague is dangerous in Hong
Kong it would find an equally prolific
ii cid in London or Paris so far as eli
innte is concerned.
1t is generally admitted that the
plague is filth disease, but there are
certain peculiarities connected with its
spread. Dr., Hankin, the well-known
bacteriologist, VINO is investigating the
subject in Bombay, fastens the respon-
sibility for carrying the infection upon
rats, ants aud other Insects by which
houses are infested. Rats have the
plague, they die, and are eaten by ants,
which carry the germs into the Gre
vices of buildings. to water taps and
sinks.
Thus the poison is diflused and it
cannot be eradicated except by fire.
This explains the efficacy of the old
method of cleansing by confagration,
aud at the same time the futility OF iso.
lating the sick as in other infectious
diseases. The only thing to do is to
remove the healthy.
Large business houses in Bombay
which are infested with ra's have been
rendered untenable by the ravages of
plague among these vermin. They
die by hundreds in the walls and the
human occupants have been compelled
to vacate the buildings.
The ravages by famine in the in
terror of India are still far more deadly
than the more horrible mortality at
Bombay. The victims of the plague
are perishing by hundreds daily; those
of hunger succumb by thousands. The
gaunt, starving millions of India are
perishing at more rapid rate than
any army ever suffered before the most
deadly engines of destruction devised
by man.

WHAT THE PLAGUE IS.

! Every maritime port in the world is
deeply interested in the terrible plague
which is carrying off by the thousands
the inhabitants of Bombay. Every pop.
ular disease is popularity chris;ened.
The name general is a misnomer, but it
is accepted by the world with implicit
faith.
The so.called "bubouic" plague,
which is making vast grave yard of
Bombay, is simply swelling of
gland caused by the Infection of septic
germs. They eat through the gland 10
the tract of lymphatics This does not
| occur in an ordinary plague, for The
bubo never causes Sympathetic swell
ing but is merely the effect of blood
poisoning.
Psychologists in every case of
plague" devote their skill TO discover
ing definite bacillus. They have
made marvellous experiments on human
beings and all species Of animals in or
der 10 place the proximity and study
the nature of the various baccilii
Despite all that mo fern medical and
scientific ski have done in improving
sanitation, time alone stays the ravages
of epidemics. There always comes q
lime when the surgeon and the ply
sician have to rely upon nature or time,
or both.
Iu the Brooklyn Heal Department
there are germs of the so-called "ou-
bonic" plague. They are as viruient
rs those of any other malignant dis
ease, and. of course, may be carried in
ships or BY individuals from place TO
place.
America, which, like England and
all other maritime nations has carry
ing trade over the seas, must be vigl-
liant at lis ports, and health officers
need just now to exercise scruDulous
care.
So far as direct communication with
India is concerned, America need not
be alarmed, but from that distant land,
through the ports of England, the germs
of the awful plague may easily be Car
red to New York, the ocean gateway
of the continent.
The Health Departments of New
York and Brook Ign realize this, and are
adequately equipped to meet it at our
ports
