BUBONIC PLA IE AND YISH.
Government Physicians say There u No
Connection Between the Two.

WASHINGTON, oct. ls.-Much interest
has been caused among physicians here
by a recent report from kober VI. McWadc,
United States Consul AT Canton, in which
he says.
-Apropos Of bubonic plague I feel II
il my duty to say TO you that in my sN-
perience fsh-ea,ing people are those fir-'
attacked by that awful scourgc, and who
die from it in the greatest numbers. My
experience has been that OF such able
specialists as pr John NJ. Swan and DR.
Adoph Razlag, and have noted the same
conditions in Bombay, alcutta. Bangkok,
Hong Kong. SN6tow, Carton and Chinese
towns and villages along the banks Of the
great rivers and their tributaries vcu-
ture To suggest that this fact may be worthy
of the consideration ui the medical DEPART
ment of our Government"
Mr. McWades idea Of ~" eating o.
fish as cause for bubonic plague is hv
no means new. but upon the receipt of
his report. the Marine Hospital Service
made a thorough investigation Of it and
former similar reports.
II has been known ever since the inVpsti-
CATION Of bubonic plague and its causes
was taken M by the service that most
species of wild animals and fish are af-
fected with u plague. The different fami-
lies Of wild animals are Affected cach by
a disease confined to il alone.
Some time ago a report came from Japan
that plague in the human race was caused
bv germs received in the eating OF fish.
The japanese specialist Nickdladi made
a thorough investigation aud after many
experiments stated that the plague reported
in fish families was in no way similar to
bubonic plague, and in no way could germs
from the fish cause plague ia the human
race.
Surgeon-General Wyman Of the Marine
Hospital Service states in connection with
Consul McWades report that II bubonic
plague is prevalent among the nhabitans
Of towns and cities along the water front
and among fish-eating people. il Is due
only to the exposure undergone by them.
and by their unsanitary mode of living.
Dr.. ynan explained that IL had been
demonstrated beyond dispute that the
germs Of bubonic plague first became evil
dent in the lower limbs of persons affected
and in like manner the plaques attacking
wild animals were to be first noticed in their
feet, but although the first symptoms of
these diseases were similar their effects
and conditions were in no way alike,
Regarding the first evidences of the dis
case IN the limbs, he said that without
doubt the prevalence Of bubonic plague
among fsh-eating people was caused by
the reception Of the germs OF the disease
In abrasions OF the feet and legs, which
was made possible because these people
wore no shoes or other protection.
DIR. Wyman and his assistants are posi-
tive that bubonic plague is not caused by
the eating Of fish.

farmers Of the State take energetic steps
to check its progress.
There is but one way, Prof, Mallv says,
to fight the insect, and that is by removing
the insects by hand. He su ygests various
otter plans that will help along with the
work Thus no suggests the idea of plant
ing trap crops or trap rows OF variety OF
carly cotton. The idea is to make an at

But this Is merely an incident. The fight

Prof. Malv would have the farmers plant

the weov.l does not like sunlight Then he
would nave the farmer apply his entire
force - hand picking the weevil from the

This will keep down their number. Early
in the fall he would turn the cattle loose
