Canses OF Scarlet Fever.

DR.. Frank Burr Mallory, of the Harvar g
Medical School, has conducted an. invest
CATION along original lines, and claims DEF
nitely to have determined the organis
which produces scarlet fever Infection.
That the disease is caused by animal and1
not by vegetable organism is one of the
features of the discovery. Another is thI
similarity of the germ to that WIN which ste ea1se
closely by physicians for years, owing to
it's specially infectious character. DR.. NAL
lory says the efforts to discover the real
cause failed because all went on the theorI
that the disease had vegetable origin.

"But when turned to look at the

guelty for me to leave one who mani

and unreasoning persistence. He
would not, in all probability, refuse my
