Strange Disease Bafies Science.

Strange Disease Battles Science.
One Of the most malignant and fatal
diseases known to attack man has made
its appearance within the last few years
IN the mountainous regions Of Montana
and adjacent Rocky Mountain states
It IL called spotted fever though By
no means to be confused with epidemic
cerebrospinal meningitis, which CONF
monty goes By that name
The malady Is entirely new unheard
of that is to say, mp 70 twenty-five
years ago. For quite 3 while no at
tention was paid To it by the health
authorities, save locally, but of late Il
has been killing 40 many people that
the federal government, appealed to for
MD. Is doing ifa hest TO find ont the
cause Of the mischief, and, if possible,
to discover remedy. With this end
III view, the public health service has
sent several Of its experts to Bitter
Root Valley, which has been the scene
of the most serious epidemic Of the
disease.
Spotted fever has been known for
many years III Idaho, where It prevails
throughout almost the entire valley Of
the Snake River. including the tribu-
taries Of the latter stream and the
foothills Of the neighboring mountains.
It occurs also in part Of Nevada, Wyo-
ming, Oregon, Utah. Colorado. But, while
always serious. the complaint Is not
nearly 50 fatal in the regions as III the
Bitter Root Valley of northern -1on-
taua. where four ont Of every five per-
sons attacked die Of It.
The infected district Is about fftv
miles long and from four to ten miles
wide il the foothills of the Bitter Root
Mountainsa range along the top Of
which runs the Montana Idaho state
line The disease prevails exclusively
in spring and early summer, and It's
most striking external manifestation il
al eruption Of small red spots, pimply
I'll character, which covers almost the
whole 81 the body. Death, when f en-
sues. usually occurs between the sixth
end the twelfth day Of The illness.
The first important atep toward d
scientific investigation Of the matter
was taken BIZ tire Montana state board
0f health, which sought adviee from

started III IA make a thorough study
Of the problem Ii the Bitter Root Val

course Of their investigations they
came across some suspicious looking mi-
crobes in the red blood cells Of the
patients sick with the disease. These
