A Possible source OF Infection 20 |
Those who Ride In street Cars.
The connection between the microbe
and the street car strap has frequently
been discussed and at least one recent
instance has proved somewhat distress
ingly that danger Is likely 70 Turk In the
piece Of leather which helps TO support
so many women during the rush hours
Of the day. II was to protect a fresh
pair OF white gloves that New York
woman. compelled to stand, held her
handkerchief inside the strap while go
Ing to the theater. On her way home
she was again compelled TO stand. and
once more the handkerchief came be-
tween her glove and the leather.
Whether II was after that or during
the evening at the theater that she
once thoughtlessly put the handker-
chief 10 her face Is n detail that she
does not recall. but two days afterward
a pain on her lip became so iutolerable
that she was compelled 70 see a doctor,
who found her suffering from incipient
blood poisoning. which lt was already
too late for him to prevent The most
that be could do was 10 watch her care
fully through a long attack OF illness,
which at one time threatened to end
fatally.
He attributed this to some poisonous
substance which had passed TO her
handkerchief from the strap. and that
was his diagnosis the moment he heard
the story OF the ride on the cable car.
She fortunately recovered. and her ply
stefan thinks that the present disngure-
ment TO her face which resulted from
the necessity OF an operation will not
be permanent The case has convinced
this physician. who is a man OF consid-
cradle experience In surgery. of the
dangers that lurk IN the street chr
