In families where household pets
are allowed to be the daily compan-
ions of small children, parents should
take the greatest care to see that these
pets are always in perfect health and
kept clean. Many of the small animals
and birds most frequently chosen as
pets are very likely to fall victims to
various diseases, especially tubercu-
losis and dlphtheria. 1t is natural for
birds and animals to live in the open
air, and confinement is probably tho
cause of their great proneness to con-
sumption. 1t Is certain that very few
city dogs get nearly enough exercise,
and therefore are generally troubled
with indigestion and foul breath. Cats,
even oftener than dogs. are victims Of
tuberculosis. This disease is extremely
vague In Its earlier symptoms, and
often slow. 1t does not require much
thought to see how dangerous it must
be for young children to romp with
and caress consumptive pet. The
sight of a tiny child seated on the
floor and playing with constantly
sneezing kitten of doubtful physique
is shocking sight, but is witnessed
only too often. Parasites constitute n
great danger, especially from cats.
Many cases of ringworm In children
may be traced to the cat. Therefore,
where the pet habit is ingralned and
cannot be overcome-indeed. 1t is not
wise wholly to deny children their
pets-very careful watch should ba
kept for the first slight symptoms Of
indisposition.
