neutralizes the excess of chalky matter
caused by too much meat and thereby

THE CAT AND THE BABY.
A MEDICAL OPINION AS TO THE TRADI-
TIoN OF A FELINE DANGER.

A MEDICAL OPINION AS TO THE TRA ADJ
TIoN OF A FELINE DANGER.
Several physicians have investigated
the ancient story that cats suck the
breath of babies, and DR.. J. Rice Gibbs
declares that the theory is ridiculous
Cats occasionally kill children, he de-
.clares, but they do it i'll different
fashion.
"It has been stated that cats nos
trils are so formed as to make a perfect
juncture with the nose of baby"
said DIR. Gibbs. sand that little pres
sure would push them upward and
make them a perfect fit. Then the
cats chin would rest over and below
the baby's mouth, preventing it from
opening to relieve the strangulation
while the cat sucked its breath. That
is all rot. The manner in which little
children are killed by cats is this; A
cat looking for warm place to curl up
and sleep lies down upon the chest oil
little child, and, being quite heavy
many cats are as heavy as little babies
simply crushes the breath out of the
child's lungs, and strangulation takes
place, but not through sucking of the
child's breath.
oThe idea that only black cats kill
little babies is equally ridiculous. 1t
is simply because black cats are con-
sidered unlucky. In former times the
black cat was considered the very
genius of witchcraft. In those days
when baby died the blame was often
fixed upon some hag who, the Judges
said, had sent black cat to suck the
baby's breath. And often hag and cat
suffered death tthe stake.
EVIL omen is still the cry in many
parts of the world whenever a black
cat approaches cradle. Many per
sons are so superstitious that the ap-
! pearance of black cat in sick room
is considered equivalent to an an
nouncement of approaching DEATH
What could be more absurd?
"Mothers need not be afraid OF cats,
black, white or green, sucking their
babies breath and numbering them
It is time that this popular fallacy
should be exploded, New York
