Jyhllaja met with a painful accident
which resulted in the loss of one
hand and the part of his arm. He
was working under a frozen crust

and caught his arm between the
handle of his pick and the lump of
frozen ore, completely severing the
arm and leaving the hand buried
in the ore. DIR. Shipman attended
his injuries and he is doing as well
as could be expected. This fellow
showed remarkable nerve and never
winned during the operation. He
had only lately arrived in America

communicated by the breath. In the

recoveries, but in hundreds Of cases
OF the pneumonia form I did not sec

victim is like a poisonous blast, car

only way to stop such a plague Is
to take all the sufferers into the open

and after death, to bury their bodies.

autopsy on q victims body. He drop
ped dead within a few hours, sinking
into state of coma before he was
able to tell other physicians what he
discovered.
"A physician cannot save the lives
OF those who are stricken. His duty

In the plague camps in Siam, every
morning we would line up. the In,
habitants and would pass along the
line, feeling the pulse Of each man,
woman and child. At the slightest
sign of fever | would direct the per

til observed that the fieas were car
ried by dogs with which the children
played. In one Siamese city, in 1907,
$4,000 dogs were burned. We also
burned down the houses in which the
plague had appeared. We put a sheet
iron guard around each house, as II
burned, to keep the rats within.
Soldiers shot every living animal on
the premises, including pets and cat
tie.
Thousands of persons died before
the epidemic was finally checked.
The first symptoms OF the disease,
in a human being, are headache and
fever. Within a few moments the
glands in the body begin to swell with
the poison. The glands Of the groins,
throat and arm-pits grow to abnor-
NAL size. II the victim were con-

fortunately by this time the sufferer
Is usually unconscious. His body Is
poisoned throughout. Then the heart
stops. Within a very short time the
body turns black in color.

mildest and least dangerous, in cpl
