imply immunity from infection. On
the contrary that very immunity may
tend TO make the partially immune
race reservoir for Infection and
that infection wheG transmitted to
a more susceptible race will. upon

fatal.
Tho white race has brought to
the South certain diseases from
North Europe These have spread

The negroes have brought to tie
South certain tsop!ca! diseases nota

Il, is not an exasserat!on to say
that the negro in the South lives

presence OF the white mans disease
and because OF the presence OF Atri

is also living under handicap
Sanitary science. II backed BY intel

Theory demands that IN rural negro
localities WITH anything less thao

and practical experience bears out
this theory among the tenant whites
of the South.
