PNEUMONIA DUE TO MICE
NEW i YORK DOCTOR HAS A
UNIQUE THEORY.
Finds Kissing Not the Cause-Mouse
Season Explains Prevalence of
Disease in Winter Months.

New York, Jan. 29.-Pneumonia is
due to mice and not to the weather,
according to DR.. E. Palier of this
city. The microbe causing pneumo-
MIA, he says, is found in the mouths
of nearly all healthy individuals, but
does not acquire dangerous virulence
until it passes through a susceptible
animal like the house mouse. He
has proved his theory, he says, by ex-
periments.
"Let us consider" said DR.. Palier,
chow mice cause pneumonia. In the
months of December, January, Feb
ruary and March, there usually are
many mice in houses, especially
where the plumbing is defective and
which are in general in poor sanitary
condition.
"Mice, as is we'll known, work
themselves under the sinks and hence
are mostly abundandant in houses
where the plumbing is not open
where there are many hooks and cor
ners around sinks. In trying to OBJ
tain mice for experiments I learned
from many persons that they ar
more abundant in the house in winte
and early spring. Young mice seen
especially abundant in the month O
March.
"Young mice particularly are sus
leeptible to the pneumonia bacillus
Young mice come into the rooms t
look for food, and they easily cal
get inoculated with human suptum
Then they spread the virulent bacil
lus which they have developed, an,
Richmond daily palladium., 1906-01-30

these yi1uIent barili may cause
pneumonia in man either by inbala-
tion on iDocuiation through some
ahFased surface"
DIR. Palier tells the Medical Rec
ord he has found two Young dead
mice which showed many virulent
pneumonia baciIIi in poorly ventiat-
ed rooms. DR.. Palier says the virulent
baciIli from infected mice multiply
abundantly and greatly increase the
danger Of pneumonia to human be-
ings in the house.
"These germs from mice,' DR..
Palier says, CLOSE their virulence af-
ter a time. Thus a person may
breathe the germs whose virulence
are well nigh exhausted, and so have
mild case Of pneumonia, and vice
versa
DR.. Palier says he does not be-
lieve pneumonia is spread by kissing.
Nor does he believe it is due to
changes in weather Furthermore, the
disease is not due to depression.
Persons apparently in good health
suddenly may develop pneumonia,
whereas others who are weak may
not get it.
1t is expected the new theory will
raise the price Of house cats.
