Cats and Disease.

To the Editor Of The STAR
From your timely and in many ways
interesting editorial on infantile paralysis
in The Star of Friday evening, [ quote
the following:
The discovery that malaria and yellow
fever are transmitted by certain species
of mosquitoes, for instance, opened a new
line of research which has proved useful
in other instances. Thus now the posi-
bility that certain other insects which
abound in summer may be the means OF
carrying the infection is being actively
examined. Dust may carry the germ, or
flies, or even hens.
l wonder why, all this time, neither the
serviceable newspaper press of the coun-
try nor the investigators in bacteriOlOg-
ical science has included in it's possible
mediums for the transmission of con-
tagious diseases the cat 1t is safe to
say that from the peculiar physical char
acteristics, and particularly the readily
communicating nature of pusSy's fur.
more disease-breeding germs are carried
by the cat than even by the rat, the fly,
or the mosquito. None of these others
is carried about and fondled by children,
while the pet cat is substituted for the
doll, and children stroke and even kiss
the very mouth of cat, as l have fire.
