Contagious Diseases.

A contagious disease is one in which
the disease-producing organism goes
direct from the person having the dis
ease to a person who has not the dis
ease without passing through an inter-
mediary medium, as in tuberculosis
for example. Malaria, on the other
hand, is an infectious disease, be-
cause the organism which produces it
is taken from person by mosquito,
reproduces itself in the mosquito and
is transmitted by the mosquito which
