this disease in a suburb of that city
to a pet cat belonging to one Of his
patients, has found, after much clever
investigation, that all cats are pecul-
iarly susceptible to diphtheritic affec-

recently been warning all families
who own cats to watch them carefully
and II they develop coughs to forbid
their being Rugged and petted. DR..

the cough persists and the cat begins
to grow thin to have the animal de-
