Manila
Surgeon Perry issued to shipowners and
their agents in the Philippines a circular
letter In which he called TO their attention
the fact that IL has been demonstrated
that rats are the principal IL not the only
factor In the spread OF the plague, ana
ships almost invariably become infected
from this source.
He said he deemed II necessary to dis
infect all vessels. regardless of size or
nature, sailing from Manila TO other
Philippines ports, in order TO destroy the
rats on board. This disinfection was be-
gun on Dec. 30. 1901 and continued until
all rats, numbering hundreds OF thou

So She Sent Needle and Thread by

the superstition that the letter must

but he couldn't see II. and he was
about to become resentful, when, upon
turning the sheet over, he found this
hastily written note:
Dear Brother: Mother says there
