under observation and appear to be
unaffected"
! During May of the current year, DR..
G. w. Mccoy of San Francisco has dis
covered seven rats with the same dis
eaes described by DR.. Wherry. These
were in and about San Francisco,
while in 1901 DR.. Wherrys assistant,
found in Chinatown a number of
such rats although at that time the
nature of the disease was unknown"
Reprint from Jour. Am. Med.
Assn, June 6, 1908.
| Under date July IA, DR.. Wherry
writes me that 20 diseased rats have
been found in Oakland, and 80 in San
Francisco, all similarly affected with
| the "leprosy-like bacilli."
Although to some the new phase of
this old disease (if it is leprosy), may
seems very recent, it is not So
Stefansky in 1903 described the dis
ease in a medical journal, and his pa
per was widely discussed.
Both the Lister Institute of Proven
tive Medicine in 1905, and the Indian
Plague Commission in 1907, took the
matter up and published reports, and
during the present year DR.. Brinker-
hoff of Honolulu has found a few dis
eased specimens here.
Since the possibility was suggested in
1908, sevral Investigators have been
working along this line, and many
who have not published reports, have
confirmed In their own laboratories
the evidence offered by others.
1t is interesting and also educative to
know that number of years ago a
certain medical incumbent on Molokai
at the Leper Settlements man OF
doubtful qualifications and quackish
tendencies no doubt,-stated that he
had found leprosy to exist or be
possible to dogs, cats and other domes-
tic animals which were exposed to the
disease.
The mere suggestion of such a thing
was pooh-poohed by scientific medical
men who knew anything about lepro-
sy yet her We are finding out by slow
land careful investigation that rats get
(and probably give) leprosy.
Let us not make light of any state
ment based on observation, whether
the observer be an ignorant milkmaid
or a quack.

the Honolulu papers Il forget which,
reference to this new" disease in
rats.
1t is only right that DR., William b.
Wherry, bacteriologist to the San
Francisco Board of Health, should
have his full credit in the matter.
Up to June last he had made over
3d. 900 examinations of rats, and among
these discovered two "ill of the lep-
rosy-like disease due to acid-fast bal
cilli."
OF these both were females, one
found in San Francisco and the other
in Oakland, between February and
March Lass.
Later, namely some time in June,
two more specimens were discovered,
male and female, in store in oak
land.
OF the first specimens DR.. Wherry
Says
my particular attention was called
to the rats by the general subcusane-
Gus congestion; the congestion and hy-
pertrophy of the cutaneous, aXillary
and inguinal lymph glands; the pres
ence of minutes, yellowish tubercules
in the subcutis; and the irregular, no.
dular thickening of the skin. EXter-
nally there was a noticeable alopecia,

Doctor writes:
1.-THE inmates of a store had no.
ticed the female in their basement for
some days previous to its capture and
set a trap for it owing to its scabby,
hairless and sickly appearance. The
anatomic findings were as above des-
cribed, excepting that the male spe-
cimen showed no cutaneous ulcera-
ton.
One flea found on the male speci-
men was ground up on a slide and
stained by the tubercle method. 1t
contained no acid-proof bacilli. No
heterogeneous were found in prepar-
ations stined with the ordinary anilin
dyes. In decinormal caustic soda pre-
parations numerous rod-liRe bodies
were found. In each preparation the
morphologic resemblance to the bacilli
in leprosy was striking, but when less

Keep Sweet" the robin in the tree
Chirps forth his cherry song to me
So many times, as though he knew
That was sorrowful and blue;
Still from his perch, high overhead
keep sweet! Keep sweet! Keep sweet
he said
And if you listen you may hear
His message musical with cheer.
Cheer up!" heard it all along
The way, from trees came forth the
song
So many times as though the words
Were messages from cherry birds.
Through all the wood their music
rang,
Cheer up!" Cheer up! Cheer up!" they
sang,
And if you listen you may hear
The message hopeful with good cheer.

With many a hopeful messenger
Who in his wisdom seemed to know
That l was worn and grieving so.

My troubles all and fretted not.

desirable co,rld it be secured without
death With this sensation a light
broke in upon my sight, light Of
milky whiteness, yet, strange to say,
so transparent that it was easier to
pierce with the eye than the light of
day. Then came into my mouth a
taste of sweetness the like of which
have never since known. And felt
myself moving on, with a conscious
ness of leaving everything behind.
Then l heard the sweetest harps ac-
companied by myriads of voices.
And the sensation of coming back to
life after had been cut down was just
as painful as the first feeling of hang
ing. 1t was acute torture. Every
nerve seemed to have a pain of it's
own. My nose and fingers were seats
of the most eXcrusiating agony In
half an hour the pain was all gone, but
I would not go through the experience
again for the wealth of the Indies.

Convict Nominated For Presi-

Can a man be nominated for
President of the United States by a
party of respectable dimensions
while he is serving twenty-five
year sentence in a state penitenti-
airy?
Until this year of grace, anyone
would have branded himself a fool
to have propounded such a
question but the thing has actually
been done.
At the recent convention of the
Socialist-Labor Party. a certain
Preston was given the nomination
for president, and at ratification
held in New York City last week
it was announced that the nominee
had been permitted by his prison
keepers to telegraph his accept
ance.
The only thing about Preston,
apparently,-that is known to the
public at targets that he is now
serving term in the state peni-
Tertiary of Nevada for murder, and
his daily occupation consists Of
breaking fstones for use on high
ways of the commonwealth which
is Furnishing him. Magnolia Ga
